find - neon grunge

As a kid, my favorite colours were neon. I even carried pieces of neon wax crayons in my pocket (I loved to colour and draw). Yes, I experienced childhood in the 80s but if you think about neon colours, they are truly interesting because they are highly unnatural, full of energy and yet strangely attractive. The spaces in the images below use a grungy/industrial design aesthetic and pair this style brilliantly with pops of neon. The neon colours add immediate edge, funk and a playful energy into the space.
