This week we are taking a look at the latest Neon interior colour trend that has been taking both the fashion and interior design world by storm.

Neon palettes are a bright and versatile colour selection that can be easily incorporated into a wide range of classic and contemporary interiors. Many people shy away from this bold interior choice however it is very easy to introduce vibrant colours in small and strategically placed areas that will not completely overpower your entire home.  A simple feature wall is a great way of adding a splash of colour into an otherwise plain interior setting; try painting a chimney breast, alcove or dividing wall for a stunning pop of vivid colour. If you prefer a more 'all over' neon look then why not go crazy and create a bold retro style interior using complimentary and contrasting shades of neon such as orange, red and yellow. These luminous colour choices can be co-ordinated with your bedding, furniture or upholstery for a truly psychedelic interior ambiance.

If you are looking for a quick and easy way of injecting some vibrancy into your interior then opt for a scattering of neon cushions for a pop of colour in your living room, bedroom or dressing room area. You can opt for eye-popping plain cushions or sumptuous patterned fabrics for an added depth of illuminating colour. Neon cushions, throws and rugs will look wonderful in a minimal interior setting and will give a fabulous contrast against white, black and grey interior decors.

You can transform even a minimal interior with a stylish selection of bright neon accessories. Vases, candles and ornaments look great on a mantelpiece, windowsill or table and create a great 'color pop' effect that can be zoned into specific areas of your home. Mirrors, wall art and photo frames also provide a fabulous splash of colour against a plain or neutral wall or can be personalised and painted to perfectly match your neon paint or wallpaper selection. Neon lamp shades and ceiling lights will create an eye-catching splash of colour that will draw the eye into the centre of a room. Cool tones such as blues and greens look great in the summer months whilst yellows, reds and oranges will create a sunshiny feel on even the greyest of winter days.

Whilst most people associate the neon colour trend with modern or minimal interiors there is no reason why this unique colour palette cannot be incorporated into traditional homes and decors. Why not try your hand at some furniture up-cycling and transform your classic or antique furniture items into a vibrant yet sophisticated addition to your home. Old sideboards, tables and dressers can be painted or sprayed in your chosen neon colour or for a more subtle yet still eye-catching design, you can transform your old dining chairs or occasional seating using a plain or patterned neon upholstery for a truly personalised interior style.
