Many houses are built with recreation rooms, dens or finished basements that are used as media rooms. These adult playrooms often have built in bars that are high class built ins. How does one make these home bars look the best they possibly can?

Neon signs will make any home bar look authentic and add a real touch of whimsy. There are a variety of neon signs available, so finding the perfect one for you is easy. You might start by looking for signs that represent your favorite beers and liquors. These collectible signs are often available for purchase from the liquor company. You can also check flea markets, antique stores and garage sales to find beer signs. Novelty stores also sell the signs to the general public. There are also companies that produce custom neon signs.

Some people like to hang a sign that features their family name. Using your family’s name to create a bar name for your home bar will add a touch of whimsy to any recreational area. It will make your guests smile. Or you can order a sign that says anything you want it to. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Be careful where you hang the neon signs. You don’t want them reflecting off of too many mirrors, since this can hurt your eyes. You don’t want your guests to be blinded. You want them to feel comfortable and welcomed. You want them to get the joke, not be in pain from the bright lights.

Choose neon signs that use colors that will fit the decorating scheme of the entire room. You wouldn’t want a neon pink sing in a room that’s decorated in blue and gold. You want the colors to compliment each other and add to the ambience of your recreational room. Your home bar should blend in to the whole of the room, not stand out like a sore thumb. While most home bars are prominent features in the room, they aren’t the only feature. In conclusion, neon signs can add interest to any home bar. The bright colors and lights should be used carefully, but they will definitely add something to your room. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and add a neon sign to your room. It can make any home bar look more authentic and more welcoming to your guests.

After all, what good is a home bar, if your friends don’t want to visit and use it?

The Neon Path to Fame

When it comes to running your own business it is all about marketing and standing out from all the rest. You need something to make you shine and be spectacular among all the hum drum business out there. Of course you can follow the path of commercials, grand openings, signs on the side of the freeway but you also have to do something fun too. You can advertize all that you want but if they can’t find your business in a crowded street it has all gone to waste and will leave you owing more than you have made. Now what kind of way to do business is that; not a good one right, you need to have pizzaz and be bright and welcoming. What better way to do that than with a neon or LED sign out front of your store, cafe, or whatever type of business you decide to open.

Now I know what you are thinking, cheesy neon palm trees or pink flamigos, but these signs can be classy too. Neon signs can be anything that you want them to be, whether it is classy or funny or even scary too. You can have them custom made for you to hang up in your store. This is a great way to light the path for your potential customers and to passersby as well.

Now imagine you the perfect store location but there are no street lights availabe and it would cost way too much and take far too long to get the city out, what on earth do you do? Well that is where your neon sign comes in, just flip a switch and the way is lit up for all to see. You can make it a classy letter style or make images to hang up or just make a sign outside your place in the parking lot that way it isn’t on your building. Nothing is impossible to do with these things, since they are made of glass they can be shaped into pretty much anything that you want them to look like.

The reason these are good for business is because it attracts people to you and yes it is good to advertise as well, I am not saying don’t go the traditional route. All I am saying is add that extra little punch to make your business shine and develop into the amazing potential that it can be. There is nothing wrong with being a little flamboyant when it comes to your business, if you are opening a bar you could even post neon signs inside the bar. You could make signs for the kinds of beer that you serve or even make cute things like a motorcycle or clock with a neon design around it. You don’t have to be cheesy or stuffy at all.

It is all up to you what you want to do with your business but this would definitely bring in more customers for you. You could even make signs for the restrooms if you are a club that tends to have a darker them to it, they could even be animated signs too. There really is not any limits to what you can do with these neon or LED signs in your place. Even if you don’t have a business or a bar you could still use them at home in your own room. I know of people who have a bar at home and love to hang their beer signs up or their clocks with the LED around it an they look great. One great sign would be something like a beach theme to where you could have your favorite drink spelled out then moving waves at the end of it. That would make a really good looking sign to have in your home bar and you would be the envy of all of your friends.

LED signs are the best of course because you can have your favorite drinks scrolling across them or you could have a birthday party and have it say Happy Birthday to your special someone. LED signs are great for business because you can scroll your current specials on them or even your hours as well so everyone knows when you are open. If you are a comedy club you can let people know what comedians are coming and the cover charge as well as what meal specials you have. There isn’t any limit on what information you can have scrolling across this sign just make sure there is nothing to graphic if you post it up beside your business. Now on the inside all goes especially if you are the owner of a bar, you can put pretty much whatever you would like on it.

Drink specials, special occassion announcements or even funny messages for friends to read. These truly are a great way to promote fun and get more business going your way. Anyone who is thinking about opening a business should really consider putting some neon signs or LED signs up to promote themselves and their services.

Add a little extra to your home bar with a Neon Sign

A neon sign can be the great final piece to a basement bar to really bring everything together. Whether you plan on using your basement bar for somewhat wild friends or for tame family you can really spice the environment up with a neon bar sign. There are a few factors you need to consider though before making this purchase, which can be anything from a small to large investment.

First you’ll want to decide how much you are looking to spend. Relatively inexpensive signs can be had at local retailers such as Spencer Gifts or can be found on sites like Ebay whereas more expensive signs can be found at neon sign making specialists. The low range will be around fifty dollars and the high range can be upwards of one thousand dollars. Second you will need to figure out the content you’d like. A great neon beer mug might be appropriate or if you have a little more money to spend you might want to get  customized neon signs that says something like, “Moe’s Bar.” This is where the intended audience will come in to play since a neon sign promoting “Pole Dancing” might be appropriate for college friends it might not sit well with your coworkers or your uncle. Perhaps a classic Guinness light is more appropriate for situations such as that. Finally you will probably want to weigh the benefits of ordering online versus finding a sign shop and purchasing the sign in person.

Online will certainly provide a greater selection and might offer better prices, but you’ll want to make sure to consider the shipping costs as well. The main benefit you get from buying a sign in person, though, is a first hand inspection of the quality of your new neon signs. You are at the mercy of an online retailer when purchasing an online neon sign, but trying to find online reviews is one possible way to hedge your bets against a less than quality purchase. Knowing someone who has personally shopped there and can vouch for the retailer is an even better insurance policy, but you’ll need to be lucky to find that reference.

Whether you decide to go cheap or expensive, online or local retail store, generic or custom, any neon sign can go a long way towards fancying up a bar basement. It can add that little extra class if that is what you desire or can even bring a little extra trash if you decide to go that route. Either way, enjoy your neon and happy drinking!
