Choosing the Best Design for Your House Sign

Looking for guidance on selecting the perfect house sign design that complements your address? Our detailed guide offers tailored recommendations to help you choose the ideal house sign design for your home.

1. Short House Name Signs

Our most popular style of sign are our long rectangle house signs. Perfect for displaying houses with just a name and no number.

We recommend choosing this style of sign if your house name is on the shorter side (12 letters or under) as this allows for the lettering to be large and prominent on the plaque. Don't worry if your house name is lengthier, we recommend the perfect sign for longer names below on number 4.

The overall appearance is stylish and rustic, showcasing the natural wood and elegant slate combination. The Bespoke Sign House logo is visible in the top right corner.

2. Number and Road Name Signs

Another great design are our simple name and number house signs. These lettering layouts are an excellent choice if your home is situated on a large estate, a new-build development, a cul-de-sac or with any other cluster of properties that share the same house name.

The prominent display of your house number makes it easy for guests or delivery drivers to quickly locate your home, while the smaller street name ensures they are at the correct address.

3. Short House Number Signs

House signs featuring only numbers are a fantastic option for homes in large estates and newly constructed areas, where including the street name may not be essential. They are equally suitable for apartments and flats, serving as clear door numbers both outdoors and inside. These house number signs are especially popular for addresses that have short numbers, consisting of one or two digits:

door number sign in white times new roman lettering

4. Long House Name Signs

Our long house name signs rank as the most favoured style among our offerings. They are ideally suited for homes identified solely by name, without a numerical address. If your house name extends beyond 12 letters, we suggest opting for this sign style. This allows for the letters to be prominently and largely displayed on the plaque.

5. Long House Number Signs

As highlighted in section 3, door number signs are an ideal addition for properties located in estates, group developments, avenues, and the like. We recommend these for homes with longer numerical addresses, though they are equally effective for shorter address numbers as well:
