Tired of bland lighting and predictable décor? Custom neon lights are your solution. Whether it’s a glowing phrase above your bed, a brand logo behind your counter, or a pop of colour in your lounge — neon isn’t just lighting. It’s presence.
Here’s how to bring bold, personality-packed light into your space — and make neon signs yours.
💡 Why Custom Neon Is the New Go-To
Neon signs have made a serious comeback, and it’s not just about nostalgia. Today’s LED neon signs are safer, sleeker, and more versatile than traditional gas tubes. They’re being used in:
- Designer homes
- Creative workspaces
- Cafés and cocktail bars
- Event venues and weddings
Want your own? Go custom and choose every detail — from font to fixings.
The Smithers studio didn’t hold back — enter the neon vault.
🎯 Where to Use Custom Neon in Your Home
1. Bedrooms
Add mood with soft-glow bedroom neon signs. Think warm white script, names, or sweet quotes like “Goodnight Gorgeous” or “Sweet Dreams”. Install them over the headboard, floating shelves, or dressing tables.
2. Living Rooms
Use custom neon as a focal point — like a framed piece of art. Pair vibrant phrases (“Stay Weird”, “Good Vibes”) with neutral decor for contrast. Check out our neon signs for living spaces to get inspired.
3. Kitchens & Bars
Light up your drink station with playful slogans like “Sip Happens” or “Bar Open”. Explore our kitchen and bar neon range for designs that pop over splashbacks and cocktail carts.
4. Hallways & Entrances
Neon makes even narrow spaces memorable. A bold “Hello Gorgeous” or your house number in neon? Yes please.
