Are mailboxes a thing of the past or do you still receive some festive postcards the traditional way? If not functional anymore, mailboxes are a nice way to decorate your yard. Personalize your outdoor landscape by an original mailbox. At times when we send emails for birthdays and use social media to greet friends and family, mailboxes bring a vintage, welcoming look.
Modern homes can make use of stylish and simple iron mailboxes which usually hang on the front wall of the house or a gateway. Mailboxes with led lights and minimalistic designs give a contemporary touch for this familiar feature from the near past.
Add fun images, bright colors or recycle old stickers to make your mailbox look different. Elegant monograms are a stylish option for more classical home exteriors.
To transform your mailbox you can get inspiration from the nature, your favorite sports and hobbies or your profession. In this way you will give others small, glimpse into the personality of your home and yourself.
You can also use your favorite decoration theme to make your mailbox stand out. Sea shells, lady bugs or faux flowers they are all great for showing the world what inspires you. For a really shocking effect use your old computer, microwave or even bicycle to make a bold statement and demonstrate. Some homeowners have even more original approach, they actually built a mailbox which is a scale model of the house.
You can match the design of your mailbox to the exterior of your home, gate, porch or front door and thus enhance your outdoor decoration.
You can divide your mailbox or even install two different ones for letters and newspapers.
Think outside the box and impress your neighbors and guests. No doubt the mailman will appreciate the decoration efforts as well.
