My tips for success when choosing neon color:
1) Use light and bright backgrounds, by which I mean flooring, wall colors and large furniture pieces; a place for the eye to rest.
2) Choose light or natural wood tones; no competition for attention.
3) Use neon brights as accent colors; a little bit of vivid goes a long way.
4) Stick to one or two neon colors; a rainbow of neon would be too much.

What do you think? Could you see using neon color somewhere in your home?
It's Spring break here in Madison, so I will be taking a little break from my regular blog schedule....no post tomorrow or Friday. But do check in on Thursday when I'll be sharing a project I am doing, motivated by several other bloggers (we are the "Undaunted Dozen"), for a series called "Spring into Action!"
Hint, it's a project I have been meaning to do for nearly a year.
Thank goodness this group has gotten me off my you know what to get it done!
Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design? If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Room Rx.

Cathy, I think we are about the same age. When you see neon....aren't you thinking...I remember you!
I wasn't feelin' it, but then I saw your picks, hmmm...maybe a small accessory here or there for summer!
A little jolt here and there I'm okay with - I like that breakfast nook area that's really fun. I saw some neon clutches at Target the other day, and I thought I could do a neon clutch but that's probably as far as I would go. I do remember having some neon soccer shorts when I was younger - I loved those shorts.
Does anyone remember neon sunscreen? I remember painting my face in it to go skiing! I was prepared to hate the return of neon, but you found some pretty images Cathy. Painting some sticks for a little vignette might be a fun DIY project.
I can only fathom of bringing this bold of a color into my home in accessories. But I love the options you rounded up!
I agree Neon is very fun in small does otherwise it looks like Candyland or the Circus!
I hope you will Come and enter my amazing Cross Bottle Guy Giveaway!You will love it!
