Creative Ways To Display Your House Numbers

Your house number doesn’t have to look bland and generic. It’s time to make it more stylish and more you.

Now is the perfect time for you to get creative. You’ll impress your neighbours and visitors by adding instant curb appeal to your home. We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite creative ideas that you can do to spruce up your house number. With these ideas, you’ll have not only a functional house number but also the best-looking one in the neighbourhood.  Make sure to keep your house number noticeable and legible to help others find your home.

1. Monogrammed Mailboxes

If getting crafty isn’t your thing, why not order a customised, monogrammed mailbox? With your mailbox close to the street, it’s a perfect place to put your house number. You can order your mailbox in various beautiful designs, so we guarantee that you can find one to suit your home’s look and feel. You can add your street name and family name to your mailbox if you prefer.

2. Mosaic Display

If you’re feeling creative and enjoy arts and crafts, we suggest creating a mosaic number display that you can mount on your home. There are many ways to be creative with this idea. You can try creating the number out of tiles or paint the home number on tiles with a beautiful mosaic border. Adding a pop of colour is guaranteed to get your home noticed and eliminate the constant phone calls from visitors trying to find you.

3. Light Them Up With LEDs

If you want to add a modern touch to your home, we recommend adding a backlit house number. With this stylish, aesthetic, and functional design, your visitors can find you whether it’s day or night. You can pair laser-cut aluminium numbers with solar-powered LEDs to create a modern effect. Solar is not only the most sustainable option but will keep your home number on display during load shedding.  There are multicoloured LED options where you change the colour depending on your mood or home aesthetic. This idea lets you have a stylish and functional design for your home.

4. Planter Box Numbers

All you need are some planter boxes and a creative attitude for this idea.Attach or paint a part of your house number on each planter box. Decorate your boxes with plants that you love. We recommend using plants that won’t obscure your house number. Place your planter boxes in the front of your home, but make sure they can be seen clearly from the street. Use large pot plants in front of your home with large house numbers painted on them for a truly stand-out display. 

5. House Number on Front Door Wreath

Most South Africans won’t have a street view to their door, however, for those that do you could display your house number on your door.  Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas, and this idea will look fantastic on your front door. A wreath is a beautiful and unique approach to creating a customised house number. Attach cutouts of your house number to the wreath. If you’re feeling creative, add flowers or other decorations to help your creation reflect you and your personality.

6. Use Your Family’s Initial

Add a house number that reflects your family’s first initial name. You can use a wide range of materials, so that’s entirely up to you. Just remember to make the correct measurements for this one.  Start by creating your family’s surname as an initial. Then complete by adding the numbers of your home.  Before sticking down the numbers, add some creative flare by decorating them. Now finish your design by attaching the numbers. You can then mount it anywhere, even on your face-brick boundary wall.

Remember that the bigger you go, the better it’ll be seen, so make sure the size is functional before starting.
