Ah, neon signs. They remind us of seedy hotel rooms and old-time diners. The vintage aesthetic is becoming popular in home design and it will be trending this holiday season.

There are many ways you can integrate neon into your holiday decorations. This article will give you a few inspirational ideas.

What Kind of Designs Should Be Incorporated in My Christmas Neon Signs?

A holiday neon sign can feature a variety of designs. One idea is to have it say, ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Merry Christmas’. You can also have a Christmas sign that features Santa or Rudolph.

Where Should I Hang My Holiday Neon Sign?

Your neon sign can be hung in any room of the home. It will look great in a den or bedroom to create a laid-back style. You can also put it in the kitchen or dining room for an old-school diner feel. You can have some fun by putting it in the bathroom or hanging it in the living room. It will look especially terrific in the window.

It should be noted that most neon signs for the home are not meant for outdoor use. Avoid incorporating it into your exterior décor unless you are sure it will stand up to the elements.

In a Display

You can create a display using a variety of small neon figures. For example, you can decorate a corner of your home with a neon Santa, neon elves, neon reindeer, and more.

Mix and Match

You can also incorporate neon items with non-neon items. One idea may be to have an old-fashioned, vintage snowman set next to a neon elf. The subtle look of the older item will provide the perfect dichotomy against the bright light creating a stunning effect.

On the Tree

Your Christmas tree is great for displaying neon. You can hang neon ornaments from your tree boughs creating a mix and match look that really lights up the area.

Alternately, your entire tree can be neon. Just buy a large neon light in the shape of a tree, place it where you would place your Christmas tree and you have a low maintenance option for your design.

Christmas is the time to turn the lights up bright. Neon signs will add the perfect amount of nostalgia to your holiday looks. How will you be incorporating them into your seasonal aesthetic?
