marquee style light up letters in bedroom. naff or stylish

[220hawthorn]

I really like the marquee metal style light up letters which are around at the mo. Toying with the idea of 4 together spelling love in my bedroom on one wall. Will iy look fucking hideous or a nice feature. Opinions please

[steppemum]

I'm going for naff, not my thing.

But then I am an old gimmer

[MilkAndFenty]

I really like them. They have to be the good kind though

[Cressandra]

Who cares? It's your bedroom. Even if you care what other people think in other rooms, it's the most private room in the house. Definitely the place to just do what the hell you like.

[Monty27]

Ewwwww. But yes, if you like them, crack on. May they give you great joy. :)

£9.99 in homebargains. Although if hb are selling them off cheap that usually means they are already out of fashion.
But cheap enough not to mind getting rid in 6 months when bored of it

[220hawthorn]

Oh dear. What could I have instead

[yomellamoHelly]

I really like them. But have LOVE letters somewhere else in the house so wouldn't get them for myself, iyswim. Unless they cost the earth I'd say go for them and get rid when you get fed-up with them. (Qualification: I like the whole hanging hearts, cut-outs from ordnance survey maps, motivational phrases, family tree etc thing too....)

[MilkAndFenty]

Have you looked at Goodwin and Goodwin? Expensive but really lovely.

[MilkAndFenty]

And the seletti neon lights can look great too.

letters belong in books IMHO. But it's your bedroom, you like it, go ahead!

[LovelyFriend]

" Letter belong in books"
Well we would all be pretty fucked without letters belonging on signs too

[specialsubject]

fair dos

but another thread shows a big sign above the bath that says 'bath'. Do we need to go that far?

[TwilightRabbit]

Not naff unless they spell out 'sex' or 'live laugh love' imho.

[LovelyFriend]

I'm firmly in the absolutely not camp!

I think the DD's would like their first initials in lights though.

[shovetheholly]

I think if you must have light-up letters you should use them to spell a big shiny 'FUCK'.

[Hennifer]

I've got some huge metal vintage letters which I found in a skip. They are lovely. Unfortunately all there was, was a K and a Y.

Still - it was cheaper than Pedlars

[MissTessmacher]

Is all.

[Jetcatisback]

Hennifer you could go all abstract and find a picture of some jelly to go after your letters?

[Hennifer]

I am very fond of them.

[220hawthorn]

NOt a fan of quotes all over the place. If you want breakfast in bed sleep in the kitchen and all that old crap. Will have to give this some more thought. In my bathroom i have metal wall signs with adverts on, one for a digestive cure all, one for a laxative fron 1940 and i have just ordered one which is a repro ad for Thomas crappers wares. Those are quite different rather than bathe etc

[Jetcatisback]

Oh I like them

[Hennifer]

It'd be great if they still lit up. I could invite a bloke over and then make them flash on and off suggestively

[220hawthorn]

Hennifer .. What I want to know is whether that is a penis beaker in between the letters

[Hennifer]

ahem

No, it is a random piece of glassware. I am sorry if this is disappointing.

[AJ279]

I want some for my daughters nursery, her names only 3 letters long so it's ok if I hate them in a few months
