Maybe it is because I am a child of the early 90s but I think there is just something so lively, fresh and happy about a pop of neon! The essential key is to keep the vibrant hues as a unexpected accents and to pair them with plenty of calming neutrals. Also by limiting the neon tones to small pieces (textiles, art, ceramics) you also allow for easy updates when you fancy a change. Neon + neutrals is fantastic in children's room but also works beautifully for more grown up spaces. Here are a few of my favorite inspirations . . . .
And lastly my our living room - just one pillow for a burst of neon yellow energy!
