One of the easiest ways to increase curb appeal for your home is to get creative with your house numbers. Whether you want to go for a modern or traditional look, there are a ton of different ways to make your house numbers pop. To get you’ve started, the folks at Angi have outlined their favorite house number ideas below.
Add a Splash of Color
Most of the time you see house numbers in black. While there’s nothing wrong with going that classic route, choosing a vibrant color instead can help your house numbers stand out. You might even want to take a look at color wheels online to see which colors would best compliment your home.
Get Your Address Engraved
One of the coolest ways to make your house numbers stand out is to get them engraved. This works best for metal and wood surfaces. If you choose to engrave your numbers in wood, it will give your home a historic, elegant flair.
Add Your Last Name
It makes for a cute addition when you display your family name below your house number. If you want to do so, make sure that your name matches the font of the numbers to keep a uniform look. Overall, this addition will make your home more welcoming.
Decorate Your Mailbox
A timeless way to show off your house numbers is to display them on your mailbox. Either apply decals directly to your mailbox or attach a plaque to display your numbers.
