It’s not the first color pairing you might think of, especially this time of year when everything stinks toward merry gold and silver touches. But adding a bit of radical neon into a neutral palette is a fresh and exciting approach to experimentation without getting too crazy. Whether your definition of neutral is cream, beige, white, gray or natural wood, this combination works.

Let’s think about the kitchen. It’s the life center of several homes. You may think of natural light wood cabinets and steel-gray-tiled floors as safe modern finish options, but it might feel a little ho hum. Invigorate the area together with neon bits: an orange counter, a shelf element painted green or a striking yellow light fixture. Or why don’t you try all three?

If committing to permanent neon fixtures scares you, then bring in some furniture and decorative items like orange counter stools and a green vase.

Even only 1 accent wall of chartreuse is sufficient to energize this kitchen. If you get sick of it, then it’s easy enough to paint over when the following color tendency rolls around.

A chartreuse accent wall works just as nicely with dark wood and white cupboards and counters.

A lime green base sink looks compelling if not somewhat nostalgic for the’80s in the bath, paired with simple white walls and a gray penny tile flooring. A tiny framed print matches the colorful centerpiece.

Punch up an all white toilet with gray and yellow accents. This gray patterned shower curtain, lemon-yellow martini side table and classic vanity are feminine and fun.

Here is another instance of chartreuse paired with gray and wood tile. It’s actually a natural blend if you think about ita light green foliage or moss, against the wood bark of a tree, near gray rocks on the floor. Painting the interior of a shower stall is a creative and lively approach to integrate the trio.

Furniture is a simple way to upgrade your space. A couple candy-hued acrylic chairs around a white table along with other white furniture will immediately make your area feel like a trendy boutique hotel.

From the bedroom, neon colors feel fresh and retreat-like with natural tones like woods, seagrass and creamy whites.

Neons can also add a touch of city cool at the bedroom with grays and whites. Neon comforters and pillows are a noncommittal cheap approach to dabble with the look.
