Neon lights are very covetable right now; everybody wants one as they add instant energy to your GAFF, but they can really cost a lot, especially if you’re having one custom made. We got very excited when we learned of Urban Outfitter’s neon light collection, however, we then cried actual tears upon realising that this was only for the lucky American readers, while the rest of us, over this side of the pond, are expected to live a neon-light-less life? Well, that just won’t do.
So we’ve trawled the internet for some options. And some are still pretty hefty – if you want a major light fixture – but, for a clever hack, you could always incorporate some neon signage into your living space with prints. And by that, we mean a print OF a neon sign, like this one. Oh, Beyonce.
But if you really do want to make a good investment, and get something ready made and really high quality, check out Neon Creations in the UK (prices vary).
Or if it’s something custom made you long for, hit up Dublin Neon Guy.
Browse our gallery above for more high street options – many of which we’ve found on Etsy (in fact Shop Pretty Utopian in the UK is really cool and very affordable) – and don’t forget to pay your nearest salvage yard a visit for an old bar or restaurant’s discarded neon lights. And if you happen to be in America, just send us a ship-load from Urban Outfitters, would you? Ah thanks.
