What is it about neon signs? Maybe it’s the glowing aspect or probably because it reverts to something from way back when; which is a special thing that makes any space pop with the added personal flair in it. The question remains: With so many options, how do you really pinpoint the grooviest neon sign for your space? Be it jazzing up a living room, adding splashes of color in an office, or creating that wow factor at a commercial space, the pursuit for neon is an art in and of itself.
Showing off your groove with neon signs, let’s learn how to choose one that complements your style and space:
Understand Your Space and Its Purpose
Before you jump into how to choose a neon sign, take a second to step back and think about the space in which the installation is going to reside. Will this be a homey living room, chic office, or vibrant storefront? This will greatly impact your decision. For instance, a fun and colorful neon sign would work perfectly in a workspace that tends to get one’s creative juices flowing, while an elegant, subdued design might complement a more modern dining space.
Define Your Style
Groovy neon signs can swing from retro with funky fonts and wild patterns, to very contemporary in form; minimum words, clean shapes. Find one that you like and also works with the décor around it. Bold and colorful or more contemporary, clean lines, subtle hues it will help you narrow down your options so that the neon sign really increases the aesthetic of your space.
Consider the Size and Placement
Size in neon signs is everything. While a large, flashy sign can make a statement, it might overwhelm even the smallest of rooms. Inversely, a tiny sign could literally get lost in a very big room. So, measure your space and decide what kind of size would be ideal for your neon sign. Finally, think about placement. Is it supposed to be a focal point or an accent to subtly drive attention toward other focal points? Extremely popular placements are above a sofa, behind a bar, or as a centerpiece on any feature wall.
Play with Colors and Text
Play with colours and text: Colours and text are accountable for the neon sign’s mood. Bright colors, mostly warm ones like red, orange, and pink, give off energy with a welcoming vibe; cool tones like blue and green offer much calm vibes. As to text, select words or phrases that resonate with you personally or indicate the reason behind the space. Inspirational quotes, catchy slogans, or even a single impactful word can make a difference.
Finding the ideal groovy neon sign for your space makes for a really cool pursuit in which personal taste blends inextricably with the outstanding attributes of your space. From knowing the feel of your space down to giving definition to your style, keeping size and place in mind, homing in on quality by mixing colors with text. These will all help to find that neon light that most illuminates life. Go for those groovy vibes, let your space gleam with bright lights, and light up your life.
