It’s officially safe to say that 2019 is the year of maximalism. Winter months were flooded with tiger print and mix-and-match motifs, and now, splashes of tie-dyes and neon are arriving just in time for warmer weather. Spring, classically dubbed as the season of florals, is taking a nontraditional turn.
Tackling this punchy trend is easier than you might think. No, you don’t have to slather your walls with magenta lacquer paint or commit to a Pop-bright armchair. Embracing neon hues can be as simple as swapping out your shower curtain. It doesn’t matter if you love minimalism or are consider yourself a full-time maximalist, as a radiant glow can easily be embraced by all design styles—it just depends how you decide to add a little neon to your space.
