When someone says the word 'neon' my mind races to highlighter pens and exercise tights from the 80s. It's bright, bold, and slightly hard to look at for too long — and not something I'd generally consider when styling my home. But when the internet's favorite trend predictor, Taylor Simon (the interior designer behind the now viral 'unexpected red theory') says "strategic neon" is the new way to elevate your space, I can't help by pay attention.
"I think that finding new tones of colors is something we are always seeking," she explains of her rationale behind the latest interior design trend. "The mix of undertones to make a neon color is complex and in the right space and pairing, create an interesting color contrast that is unique and uncommon."
