Why use neon sign in decoration
It's fun

That is, by placing a neon sign in your home it is possible to recreate this environment of fun and relaxation.

Strengthens your personality, tastes and values
The neon signs that exist on the market today have the most varied shapes, colors and sizes. Which is great, since it is always possible to find a model that fits your taste and style.

Neon sign: how to use it in decoration
Choose the best model for your home
Before buying (or making) the neon sign it is important to know exactly where in the house it will be placed.
Try to combine the color of the neon with the color palette of the environment or look for a color that contrasts with the decor, creating a differential.
Also check the proportion of the sign in relation to the environment. Another important tip: always look for a model that has to do with you, okay? Neon is too flashy to go unnoticed.
Brick walls combine very well with neon signs, but other types of decoration do not benefit from the use of the sign. Neon is versatile and ends up fitting well in several proposals.
Replace frames and fixtures
The neon sign can be used in place of paintings (for decorative purposes) and lamps (for indirect lighting purposes), since the piece fulfills these two functions very well.
Hide the wiring
Try to keep the wiring and plug of the neon sign well hidden, both for aesthetic reasons and for safety.
No competitions
The neon sign is usually the focal point of the environments and, precisely for this reason, it is good not to overdo the amount of visual information.
Let neon be the highlight and do not want to compete with other decorative pieces, such as paintings, for example. The environment may become too charged.
Neon sign in environments
Neon sign in the room
The living room is one of the preferred environments for placing a neon sign. In this environment, he can take the turn of a painting or light fixtures.
Choose a prominent wall in the room to place the sign, such as the wall behind the sofa.
Neon sign in the room
The rooms are also enhanced with a neon sign. Here, it is legal to use phrases and words that suit you and, in the case of a double room, it is worth using romantic words and phrases such as "love", "together", among others.
Just a detail: the neon sign cannot be turned off, since it wears out easily each time it is turned on. So if you are the type of person who cannot sleep with lights on, even if they are diffused, it is better to reconsider the use of neon in the room and put it in another room in the house.
Neon sign on the toilet
Washrooms are another good place to display a sign. The space is more modern, stylish and gains personality. However, the use of neon in bathrooms is not recommended, as the moisture in the shower can cause gas to escape.
Neon sign in the kitchen
How about betting on a neon sign in the kitchen? Fun phrases and words can be used to complete the proposal. However, avoid using the sign very close to damp and steamy areas, such as near the stove and the sink.
Neon Sign at Wedding Parties
In addition to the decoration of the house, the neon sign can be used to decorate wedding parties, making the celebration more relaxed and fun.
In these cases, the tip is to use romantic phrases that relate to the bride and groom. Neon can be used on the cake table, at the party reception or on the dance floor, for example.
