Custom House Numbers That Will Enhance Your Home's Curb Appeal

Don't underestimate the power of house numbers. Though they may feel like a small purchase—an afterthought in terms of the (many, many) design decisions that come with owning a home—those few numbers set the tone for your home's style. They bring color, texture and an overall vibe where perhaps there wasn't one before, and can instantly freshen up your exterior even if a whole-home makeover isn't in the budget.

That's why we've rounded up the best custom house numbers. They vary in material, size and price point, but they'd all add a one-of-a-kind touch to your home. Plus, with easy-to-see house numbers, you'll make life a lot easier for your DoorDash delivery person or first-time house visitors.

‌Material:‌ House numbers have to endure the worst weather, whatever that means for the climate where you live. From snowstorms to gusty winds to scorching sunshine, you'll want to make sure that the house numbers you choose, as well as their mounting method, will withstand all of the elements year round. Ceramic and metal are always solid options, and if you choose wood, consider one that's been coated in a weatherproof sealant.

‌Size:‌ Before clicking "add to cart" on house numbers, measure the space where you intend to hang them. Then measure it again. House numbers vary widely in size, so you'll want to know they'll not only fit the space, but feel balanced in terms of the scale of your house as a whole. To feel totally confident in your purchase, consider mocking up the numbers with painters tape.

‌Mounting method:‌ You only want to hang house numbers once, so get a good sense of the mounting style before committing to any style. Do they come with keyhole hooks and screws? Can individual tiles be hung separately or do they need a frame? Do the numbers come with a self-adhesive backing, and will that hold up in the climate you live in? Know what you're getting into—and that you have the necessary tools—before buying.
