Spring/Summer Trend: Be COLOUR BOLD With Neon

 Images via Adore Magazine.
I've been noticing around the shops that neon is very "on trend" at the moment. For Spring/Summer 2012, expect to see more neon highlights in home decor and fashion. Who can't resist these bright, bold and friendly colours? Full of cheer, they're a stand-out piece for both the eye and the brain. I love the idea of using neon as a colour pop -- as a brave colour choice for a table, door or chair -- but I also think neon paint all over the room, or on a feature wall, gives the space some mighty pizzazz. It definitely makes me think of warmer weather to come. And I'm also in love with the 3 colour choices of the doors in the images above, especially when paired with a white space. I'm also a big fan of neon lacquer coffee tables (or dining-room tables!) Jonathan Adler comes to mind, since he has a magnificent orange lacquer coffee table that will melt the winter blues away. What are your experiences with neon?

  1. So much fun! I especially love the neon paired with the dark grey and black. ugh... now I have to go re-paint! :) thanks for the inspiration.

    1. I like that combination, too. And the cool thing about it is that you can never pick the wrong "neon" tone with grey and black.

  2. i never thought neon would come back! I definitely am liking it for pops of colour, especially when paired with neutrals. I think we'll get it right the second time around ;)

    1. *Usually* we learn from the mistakes the first time around. Reminds me of my recent post on Navajo prints. Hope you and baby are well :)
