House numbers - which of these 4 choices?

Susan W
förra månaden

I'm trying to plan ahead on some of the smaller decisions...since the big ones are still knocking me on my butt!!


Which of these 4 choices do you think is best for our house numbers? Or maybe someone has another idea I've not thought of?


Note: Since the house isn't fully painted, our lantern/light is not hung, and our new door has not yet arrived, I was forced to "Frankenstein" a photo. This is our house, but parts of the photo are a cut-and-paste situation. My placement is not totally exact, but hopefully you can get the general idea of what I'm considering.


#1) Centered over door

#2) Vertical next to door

#3) Horizontal next to door

#4) Diagonal next to door


Thanks in advance.

    Either of the two horizontal placements. The one under the light can be read at night if the light is on. That might be desirable depending on placement of street lights.

    I like #3 best, then #4. No guesswork in deciphering your house number :)

    #3. It is easiest to read and easiest to find.

    Horizontal next to door.


    But hello, since you have time, are you good with the type face and color? I like the black, but I am not sure that I am sold on the arial(?) font for the numbers.

    I like the vertical but bigger on that house for sure I am not sure why that would be harder to read .

  • Angela Young

    I like the vertical best and agree with Patricia on bigger numbers.

  • Mrs Pete

    #1 is worst -- too cramped and hard to find.

    #3 is easiest to read; therefore, the best.

    I like the idea of bigger numbers. Make it easy for people.

    Number 2 - It just looks the nicest! Vertical outdoor lighting and vertical house numbers look nice together.

  • pricklypearcactus

    Option #3 then followed by option #2.

    So #1 is definitely out. It's funny because that's exactly where the numbers always were on this house...from way before we owned it. But then again, it spent the time from 1963 until a few weeks ago as a red brick ranch. It has been totally reinvented!


    I don't have or haven't even started to look for the actual numbers I'm going to use. They're definitely going to be black, but I want to wait on size and font until the light fixture is hung and the new door is installed and painted. It might be easier to make the final decision when all of the real pieces are in place.


    I appreciate all of the input.

    The numbers you choose could indeed make a difference! Have fun choosing.

  • Paul F.

    Vertical! Landscaping may obscure the numbers.


  • labberlover

    Vertical, no doubt. Keep the clean, modern lines.

    3. Which one is the easiest to see. You really want people to find your house if you've invited them. Or called an ambulance. Under the light. Also is A good idea.

    If your job was to find house numbers, as mine was, you reallly appreciate large and legible.

    Agreed, Joe. If there's a mailbox at the curb, you could have the house number on that as well.

    In my town we are required to have our house numbers painted on the curb, which obviously isn't very noticeable, but it's good as a last resort if someone doesn't have the numbers on the house.

    #3 but larger. Putting them where people expect to find them really helps as does your light right there.

  • RedRyder

    Another vote for #3 and big numbers. Take your time to look for a font (style) you like. The black looks best. Make sure it’s easy to read from the curb.

    People forget that the police, or an ambulance, need to know where you are if you call for help. Aesthetics are important, but visibility is vital.

    As the wife of a retired police officer, he’ll be sure that no matter what we do it’s easy to see. We will also have the #’s on our mailbox at the road.

    Lots of smart comments here that I appreciate.
