Choosing the Perfect House Number Sign: Modern, Traditional, or In-Between
When it comes to updating your home’s exterior, a simple detail can make a huge impact: your house number sign. The right style not only helps visitors and delivery drivers find your home, but also adds a subtle touch of personality and sophistication.
At Thomas Design Co., we offer a variety of styles to suit different tastes and homes. Let’s explore three popular options — modern, traditional, and a balanced in-between style — and how to choose the best fit for your house.
Making the Right Choice
When selecting a house number sign, consider:
Your home’s architectural style
Readability from the street
Materials and durability (our signs are weatherproof and built to last)
Personal aesthetic preference
A well-chosen house number sign enhances curb appeal and adds a polished finishing touch to your home.
