10 Neon Lights, Lamps, and Mirrors to Help You Create Your Best, Brightest Room

Neon lights are having a moment in the design world, and for a good reason. Since neon lights and shade-shifting bulbs can cast a colorful glow onto your walls, they allow you to create a brightly-hued space at home on demand for a fraction of the cost of painting. Furthermore, after installation, all this transformation takes is a flick of a switch. “As we spend more time indoors, people are looking for ways to reinvent their spaces with bright, color-drenched lighting for majorly moody looks,” says Swasti Sarna, an insights manager at Pinterest. “Neon lights and signs are a creative way to brighten up a room and uplift the mood.”
