Neon Signs & Lights

wilma — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 17:18:28 GMT

Would you use neon signs & lights in your home?

I usually think of neon as looking more appropriate in bars, restaurants, and stores. I might consider a neon sign if I had a bar area or home theater in my basement, but I wouldn’t want one upstairs or in any other room.

Here are a few examples of people who have neon lights in their homes. I don’t really care for any of them.

Maybe it could be displayed in a bedding store, but I wouldn’t want it above my head.

The skyline sign is ok and would look fine in a NYC souvenir shop or restaurant, but I still wouldn’t want it in my home.

My apologies to this couple, but I think this looks tacky.

Looks a little disco to me.

If I had a game room I wouldn't mind having a neon light.

@JYWilliams

Yes, I agree that a neon sign would work in a game room.

Not for me, I tend to stay away from bright lights, does nothing but trigger a migraine in my world !

I think they would be cool in a basement family room or bar or even a man cave but that's about it.

DD had her name in neon in her bedroom wall when she was a teen. Her friends thought it was so cool and she loved it.

As some other posters said, maybe a rec room, man cave, etc, but not in the main living area.

I have a free-standing Christmas tree made out of neon light tubing that I bought in the early 1990's. It has a yellow star at the top and different colors of neon light tubing ornaments. It's only 3 1/2 - 4 feet tall. It was an expensive piece of art that I haven't used since that time. My first career was as a home decor Buyer and Product Developer with degrees in Art and Design, so my taste has been eclectic and appreciative of many styles.

The only place I would consider having a neon sign would be in a finished basement or rec room. I would not put one in any rooms other that that.

@wilma The first picture is an interesting concept-neon in the boudoir.😁 I wouldn't mind it in a guest bedroom, although the comforter and the sign would have to be colorful.

The fourth photo makes me want to put on some platform shoes, and start dancing to the tune of "Saturday Night Fever". I would never decorate that way, but I think it's fun😊.

The other two...welll...um.😲.

I'm pretty sentive to lighting. Even the lights from an indoor mall make me feel like it is draining my energy after awhile. So this would be a big no for me. It looks nice, though.
