When you need a quick and easy way to add curb appeal to your home – and one that won’t require watering, weeding, or seeding – look no further than your house numbers. Whether your home is newly built or has stood proudly for decades, swapping out your house numbers is a simple way to spruce up your home’s facade. Not only do they make for a great first impression, but they also make it easy for deliveries and guests to find your home.

If your house numbers are bland, sunbleached, or nonexistent, it’s easy to add a pop of flair with Bold MFG & Supply’s custom-made house number plaques. Read on to learn why house numbers are important, how to choose the right fit for your home, and how to install your house numbers. 

Why Are House Numbers Important?

House numbers can indeed add some flair to your space, but they also serve a purpose far from frivolous or fussy. They are crucial in ensuring your home is easily located by visitors, deliveries, and, most importantly, in the event you require emergency services. 

Visible and well-placed house numbers save time and eliminate confusion, making them a small yet mighty feature of your home’s exterior.

How to Choose Stylish House Numbers

When selecting new house numbers, be mindful of style, size, and placement to achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality.

Choosing Your House Number Style

Your house numbers should reflect your home’s architectural style and personal taste. Bold MFG offers multiple font styles, from classic to contemporary, allowing you to choose a design that complements your home’s unique character. 

Don’t be afraid to play with color, either. Go with raw steel for a unique but classic look, or opt for a modern twist with a matte black house number plaque. With Bold MFG, you can add a flash of contrasting color with a vibrant acrylic backplate in shades like turquoise or sunrise, or keep things neutral with a white or no backplate.

Choosing the Right House Number Size

How big should house numbers be? The answer depends on how far your home is from the street and where you’ll place your house numbers. You’ll want to ensure your house numbers are easily legible from the street – and larger numbers are easier to read from a distance. 

As a rule of thumb, the right house number size for your home will balance the proportions of your home’s exterior with your distance from the street. Bold MFG customizes plaque dimensions based on the number of digits, ensuring your house numbers are perfectly sized. If you need a plaque with custom dimensions, Bold MFG can work with you on a custom order.

How and Where to Display House Numbers 

Where and how to display house numbers are equally important. When scoping the right spot and looking for where to place house numbers, look for lighting and street visibility. You’ll want to install your house numbers in a well-lit, easily spotted location – think near the front door, above a porch light, or on a mailbox post. 

Consider your backdrop, too. Bold MFG’s laser-cut, see-through numbers paired with colorful acrylic backplates can ensure high visibility against various surfaces.

How to Mount House Numbers

Installing Bold MFG’s house number plaques is a straightforward process that even budding DIY enthusiasts can handle in an afternoon. Our house number plaques come with 3" threaded standoffs and detailed installation instructions. 

Here’s a quick overview:

1. Mark the Placement: Decide where you’ll be mounting your house numbers and mark where the holes for the standoffs will go.

2. Drill Holes: Use a drill bit appropriate for your wall material to create appropriate size holes.

3. Mount the Plaque: Secure the threaded standoffs with adhesive and attach the plaque for a professional finish.

With easy installation and included hardware, you’ll find Bold MFG makes it simple to achieve a polished look.
