When many people think about Neon colours, they may suddenly feel as if they have been transported back to the 1980s or a time at school where they would use their endless collection of highlighters.
These bright, bold colours aren’t easy on the eyes, especially when it’s used in excess. Whatever decade you were born in, you’re bound to have your opinions on Neon colours and whether you favour them or not.
In the past couple of years, we have seen Neon become massively popular in fashion accessories and this has also been introduced to interior design. How on earth can we include bright colours in our homes without making it look like we’re hosting a rave?
Choosing a featured wall that is a neon colour should be balanced with neutral colours to make it look more modern and trendy, instead of dated.

1. Harlequin Raya Wallpaper
This wallpaper is a bright fuchsia pink that gives plenty of attitude. The texture of the wallpaper stops it from being too girly and makes it much more interesting to look at. We think this colour would work brilliantly well in a bedroom on a featured wall to brighten up a plain colour scheme. Team it with neon green or orange accessories and it’ll look amazing.
2. Harlequin Nalia Wallpaper
We think this choice is the easiest to get away with in the home. The mix of yellow and cream is an unlikely pairing however, it tones down the vibrance of the neon yellow and makes it look much more sophisticated. We think this would work really well in a dining room where you eat every morning. The lovely colours will wake you up and put a spring in your step in the morning.
3. Harlequin Rumbia Wallpaper
This next wallpaper does have a tropical feel to it due to the turquoise and green used together. The pattern is playful and artsy, which is very modern twist that could work really well as a feature wall of a child’s bedroom or even an office. The green makes it a wonderful choice for the summer and you could team it with a side table, displaying different tropical flowers, to keep with the theme.
4. Harlequin Kaleidoscope Wallpaper
With a lot of colour going on, we think this choice of wallpaper is absolutely perfect for a teenager’s room because it doesn’t limit you on what other colours you can mix it with. With a variety of colours including blue, pink, orange and more, you can opt to keep accessories neutral or you could completely go for a full on, colour crazed room.
It’s entirely up to you and whatever you choose, this wallpaper will inject a lot of fun into a room.
5. Harlequin Grasses Wallpaper
This wallpaper’s colour is a lovely coral colour, perfect for the summer time. With the pattern being stems and leaves, it goes towards the earthy yet edgy look. If you aren’t afraid of a bright colour, this would work really well with white walls in a room that has a lot of light.

Last but not least is this lime green coloured wallpaper which is patterned with different types of illustrated lamps. Due to this pattern, it would be perfect in a office where you need your idea light bulb to go off.
