How to Choose a House Name Sign

If you want to have any sign fixed to your walls, a good place to start is a house address plaque. It signals key information that is essential for the postal service and emergency services but it also provides an eye-catching level up for your curb appeal. Choosing the best house name sign for your home is not a task to be taken lightly. It requires an eye for detail and lots of research to ensure that you are choosing a sign that not only is aesthetically pleasing but also will survive the weather conditions of your location. At RAMSIGN, each one of our signs is handcrafted using porcelain enamel for its resilience to drastic changes in temperature as well as the elements.

When picking your house name sign be sure not to overlook these key points:

House name: White building with turquoise blue door

Size:

Will your chosen sign fit into your desired space?

House name: Wooden building with multicolored mailboxes

Distance from the viewer:

Will your sign be seen from the street?

House names: Grey building with yellow door

Style and Material:

Will the sign fit the architectural style of the property and will the material withstand the elements?

Once you have taken the time to work through your needs and wants, you can start shopping for signs for the home. Think about which areas of your living space could use a little TLC or which surfaces need brightening up. Make a list and begin planning your color palette, dream phrases and get measuring your wall space. Discover the 10 signs that your house needs in addition to a house name.

“So many people overlook signage as a home decor option. But it offers so much flexibility and style it seems a shame to stick to just a house number.” - Nick Brant, founder of RAMSIGN

Never Miss a Letter With an Eye-Catching Mailbox Address Plaque

While house number signs are commonly placed by the front door, it is often hard for passers-by to see them. This could be because the viewing distance is too large or maybe because the view of the sign has become obstructed by overgrown garden foliage or a parked vehicle. By adding a sign to your mailbox you increase the accessibility of your property while adding a personal touch that sets you apart from the rest. Consider creating address signs that also include your family name so that there are never any more mail mixups ever again.
