SARAH'S BEDROOM: FROM BORING TO BREATHTAKING 💫
Sarah from Denver was stuck with what she called "the world's most boring bedroom." White walls, beige everything , you know the vibe. Then she discovered our custom LED neon signs and everything changed.

PRO TIP: Sarah paired her neon with some fairy lights and plants , the layered lighting effect is chef's kiss 🤌
MARCUS'S MAN CAVE GETS A MAJOR UPGRADE 🎮
Marcus had a basement that was basically a storage room with a TV. Dark, uninspiring, and definitely not somewhere you'd want to hang out. Sound familiar?
"My wife kept saying I needed to do something with 'the dungeon.' She wasn't wrong , it looked like a sad teenager's bedroom from 2005." , Marcus T.
THE GAME-CHANGER: Marcus went ALL IN with multiple neon elements. He grabbed our Bar Beer Cheers neon for the mini-bar area, added some custom gaming-themed signs, and installed LED strip lighting around the entire room.
The result? A legitimate entertainment paradise that his friends actually BEG to hang out in.
"I went from having the lamest basement in the neighborhood to hosting every single game night. The neon completely transforms the energy , it feels like a real sports bar down there!"
BEFORE: Dark basement with one lonely overhead light AFTER: Multi-level neon paradise with custom signage and ambient lighting
JESSICA'S NURSERY: SOFT NEON MAGIC ✨
When Jessica was designing her daughter's nursery, she wanted something unique but not overwhelming. Traditional night lights felt too basic, but she didn't want anything too bright or stimulating.
"I kept seeing those harsh overhead lights in baby stores and thinking 'there has to be a better way.' Then I found ZTYLIST's custom name signs!" , Jessica R.
THE PERFECT SOLUTION: Jessica ordered a custom LED neon sign with her daughter's name in soft white. The gentle glow provides just enough light for those late-night feedings without being too stimulating.
"It's become the centerpiece of the whole room. Everyone who visits comments on how peaceful and dreamy it feels. Plus, it grows with her , it's not going to look babyish when she's older!"
BONUS: The energy-efficient LED technology means it can stay on all night without worrying about heat or electricity costs. Smart parenting win! 👶
DAVID'S HOME OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY BOOST 💼
David was working from home in what he generously called an "office" , really just a corner of his bedroom with a desk. Zero inspiration, zero personality, zero motivation.
"Zoom calls were embarrassing. My background was literally just a blank wall and part of my bed. Not exactly screaming 'professional success.'" , David L.
THE TRANSFORMATION: David installed our motivational neon sign behind his desk , "U CAN ALWAYS RISE UP FROM ASHES" in vibrant blue and orange. The impact was immediate and dramatic.
"It sounds cheesy, but seeing that message every day actually changed my mindset. My productivity went through the roof, and my Zoom background went from 'sorry about the mess' to 'wow, where did you get that sign?'"
RESULTS: David says his work performance improved, client calls became more engaging, and he actually ENJOYS spending time in his office now.
MARIA'S RESTAURANT: CUSTOMER MAGNET ACTIVATED 🍕
Maria owns a small pizza place that was struggling to stand out in a crowded food scene. Great food, terrible atmosphere , sound like a familiar business problem?
"We had loyal customers who loved our pizza, but the space felt like a cafeteria. People would order takeout instead of dining in because there was just no vibe." , Maria S.
THE SOLUTION: Maria invested in several ZTYLIST neon signs , including our Lamian Noodles decoration and custom text signs with her restaurant's name and slogan.
"The change was INSTANT. People started taking photos, posting on social media, and actually wanting to eat inside instead of just grabbing takeout. Our dine-in business increased by 40% in the first month!"
THE NUMBERS:
- 40% increase in dine-in customers
- Triple the social media mentions
- Doubled their weekend reservations
ALEX'S TEEN BEDROOM: TIKTOK-WORTHY TRANSFORMATION 📱
Alex's mom reached out because her 16-year-old was spending ALL his time at friends' houses instead of hanging out at home. The bedroom situation was... not great.
"His room looked like a hotel room , completely sterile. I wanted to give him a space he'd actually want to be in, but he kept saying everything was 'cringe.'" , Linda (Alex's mom)
THE BREAKTHROUGH: They compromised on a custom neon sign with Alex's favorite quote plus some colorful LED accent lighting. The key was letting Alex choose the colors and placement.
"Okay, I'll admit it : the neon is actually pretty sick. My friends think my room is cooler than theirs now." : Alex
MOM'S VERDICT: "He actually invites friends over now instead of always leaving. Plus, his room looks like something from a design magazine!"
RACHEL'S SMALL APARTMENT: BIG PERSONALITY 🏠
Rachel was dealing with a tiny studio apartment that felt more like a prison cell than a home. White walls, terrible lighting, and zero character.
"I was spending more time at coffee shops than in my own apartment because it was just so depressing. Something had to change!" : Rachel K.
THE MINI-MAKEOVER: Rachel strategically placed three smaller neon elements around her space : a "Good Vibes Only" sign in the living area, custom initials above her bed, and a small LED strip behind her TV.
"People can't believe how different my apartment feels now. The neon adds personality without taking up any actual space : perfect for a tiny New York studio!"
SPACE-SAVING WIN: LED neon takes up zero floor space while adding maximum impact : ideal for small living situations!
MIKE'S GARAGE GYM: MOTIVATION STATION 💪
Mike converted his garage into a home gym during 2020, but it felt more like a punishment dungeon than a place to get pumped up. Concrete walls, fluorescent lighting , basically a fitness nightmare.
"I kept making excuses not to work out because the space was so depressing. It felt like exercising in a basement." : Mike D.
THE ENERGY BOOST: Mike installed our "Don't Quit" gym neon lights plus some custom motivational phrases around the space.
"The difference is like night and day! The neon gives me that commercial gym energy but in my own space. My workouts are more intense, and I actually WANT to be in there!"
FITNESS RESULTS:
- Increased workout frequency from 2x to 5x per week
- Better motivation and energy during sessions
- Friends now ask to work out at his place instead of the gym
AMANDA'S EVENT SPACE: BOOKING BONANZA 🎉
Amanda runs a small event rental business but was struggling to differentiate her space from competitors. Same old boring white walls and standard lighting : nothing Instagram-worthy.
"Clients would book once but never return. The space was functional but forgettable. In the event business, that's basically death." : Amanda P.
THE TRANSFORMATION: Amanda invested in a collection of versatile ZTYLIST neon signs : Happy Birthday decorations, custom text options, and colorful accent pieces that could work for different event themes.
"Now my clients' guests spend the whole night taking photos with the neon backdrop. I get tagged in hundreds of social media posts, which brings in new customers automatically!"

- 300% increase in social media mentions
- Doubled repeat customer rate
- 50% higher booking prices due to premium positioning
JAMES'S COFFEE CORNER: MORNING MOOD BOOSTER ☕
James created a coffee corner in his kitchen but it felt more like a countertop than a destination. He wanted something that would make his morning routine feel special instead of mundane.
"I'm not a morning person, so I needed something that would actually get me excited about getting up. Basic kitchen lighting wasn't cutting it." : James W.
THE CAFFEINE CATALYST: James added a warm white "But First Coffee" neon sign above his coffee station, plus some under-cabinet LED strips for ambient lighting.
"It sounds dramatic, but that little neon sign genuinely improved my mornings. Having a dedicated, beautiful coffee space makes the whole ritual feel more intentional and enjoyable!"
