Mixing Styles is A-OK!

Modern numbers on an older home are a-ok! Combining modern details on traditional homes is trending, and is a fantastic opportunity for personal expression. Adding a set of stylish numbers is a great way to refresh your curb appeal without having to update the whole exterior. This small detail has a big impact!

When choosing numbers, letters and plaques for your home, we've selected our fonts and finishes to look fantastic on any architectural style, from historic to mid-century modern, traditional to contemporary.  

We encourage you to pick the font style that you like best! They will look beautiful anywhere you choose to install them.

With your order, well send along step-by-step instructions, a helpful drilling template and concealed hardware, for a subtle floating effect. When you're all done, you'll have an architectural-quality result to enjoy for years to come.

Go for it! Pick your favorite modern font for your older home. You'll be glad you did.

Preview your numbers in each of our font styles before you purchase. It's a fun  helpful way to get an idea of how they might look.
