The cable problem
But as soon as the neon lettering hangs on the wall, the question quickly arises: Where should the cables go? These can quickly spoil the look, especially in minimalist or modern rooms.

There are also special LED lettering with discrete cable systems. But for everyone who likes it a little more creative:Hide your neon sign cables behind artificial plants!

Are you wondering how to handle the plants and yours?LED illuminated lettering on the wallattaches? We'll explain it to you right away!
This is how it works:
1. Measure and plan arrangement:Measure the wall area you want to cover with faux plant panels. This allows you to calculate exactly how many panels you need. Also consider where your neon lettering should hang and how best to place the artificial plants. A large section of wall behind the sofa, bed or in the hallway is particularly suitable. A centrally placed neon lettering, framed by artificial plants, immediately attracts everyone's attention, while a slightly offset placement provides a creative, surprising touch.
2. Prepare panels:Many boxwood panels have a practical snap lock system. If necessary, connect several small panels to create a larger area that fits perfectly on your wall. Place these on the floor to visualize the design. If additional decorative elements such as artificial flowers are part of the design, ideally attach them before assembly.
3. Attach panels to the wall:Artificial plant panels differ in their structure. Some feature a metal grille for added stability, allowing for secure attachment. These can be easily attached to the wall with screws and washers. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. However, if you don't want to drill, adhesive hooks or command strips are a practical alternative. Make sure the panels fit tightly and are well aligned.
4. Install neon lettering:Hang the neon lettering directly on the artificial plant wall. Route the cable behind the plants so that it is not visible. If necessary, use cable clips or cable ties to secure the cable.
5. Hide cables:Run the cable along the back of the plant panels and secure it with clips to keep it in place. For an even cleaner result, you can also use cable ducts in the color of the wall.
6. Finishing touches:If cables are still visible, you can fill with additional artificial plants or decorative elements to perfect the look.
More creative ideas
- Color choice:Choose a neon sign in a color that goes well with your room design and artificial plants. Neon signs in pink or turquoise look particularly good against dark green.
- Diversity of plants:Combine different types of artificial plants to create depth and texture. Dense boxwood panels can, for example, be complemented with climbing ivy. Large monstera and fern leaves create a lush, tropical look, while peonies or other colorful flowers add a vibrant pop of color.
- Decorative grasses as an alternative:Hang your neon lettering on a metal grid to which you can also attach pampas grass fronds. Watch the video and let yourself beof this articleinspire!
