Colourspiration: Neon

As the winter months draw ever closer, now is the time to think about finding ways to cheer yourself up through the dark days. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic, but you’ll be surprised how important  a splash of colour is on a cold evening.

Colourspiration this week is dedicated to pulling off neon in your home. It’s not easy but there are varying ways to go about it without making your home look like an ’80s disco. Here’s how…

Coffee table

This is a perfect example of how flourescent colours can bring a room to life. The dark, solemn grey walls are stopped from making the room feel claustrophobic by this painfully cool hot pink coffee table. This is a great idea as there’s no need to splash out – just buy the colour and get painting.

Stripes

This is a fantastic way of brightening up a plain old white wall. I love how simple it is, yet neon yellow is one of the happiest colours around. It reminds me of sun and sand – just what you need to get through another British winter.

Scatter cushions

Adding neon to your home doesn’t mean you need to make any huge commitments. This gorgeous scatter cushion from Etsy is one of a collection. It’s super stylish and will bring a splash of colour into your home in no time. I love the idea of mixing greys and browns with streaks of neon.

Neon lights

Nothing shouts ‘cool’ louder than neon lights in an open plan loft apartment. These lights brighten up the empty, open space – but they’ll look great anywhere. Put them over your bed or in the bathroom, and they look fantastic in rooms with plenty of dark colours too.
