I once heard it said that your letterbox should be the “bling” of your front yard, and as a gal who loves to wear jewellery I couldn’t agree more. Whether it’s shiny, bold or elegant, having a letterbox that makes a statement is a sure fire way to boost the street appeal at your place. Here’s three ways to bring the bling to your house:

  SPARKLE & SHINE: Nothing says bling like something shiny. A letterbox with a metallic finish such as Stainless Steel, Brass or Copper is not only light-catching but also eye-catching. Choosing one of these boxes has got to be one of the easiest ways to add class to the front of your property, and that is likely why they are currently so popular.

  GO BIG: Bigger is not always better but taking up a little extra room with your mailbox or signage can really help to break up a boring wall or blank yard. Allow space for your street number and name to be easily readable without looking cramped. Use your mailbox as the focal point for your property.

  LIGHT IT UP: Be seen whether it’s during the day or night. Add outdoor lighting to illuminate your letterbox or see our mailbox designs such as the Malcolm  or Seekwa  where you can back light the street number and address. Speak to your electrician about wiring power out to your letterbox or discuss solar options.

And most importantly, don’t forget to have fun with your choices. Here at Letterboxes Direct, we specialise in customising stunning statement letterboxes. Check out the products on our website or browse our social media for inspiration. If you have a design of your own, please reach out to us via email  for a custom quote. It pays to think outside the box.
