Updating your home's exterior? A good looking house number that reflects your home and personality is a must-have buy (and it'll help the postman find you too). We've gathered our favourites.
What to consider when buying a house number
Material: If your house number is exposed to the elements, a hardwearing, weather-resistant material is essential.
Colour: If you're adding a new front door or painting your front door, for a smart look, match the colour to your house number plaque. And remember, the brighter the colour, the easier it'll be for friends to find your house.
Style: Ensure you choose a plaque which reflects the style of your home. A large black floating square may not be quite right on a country cottage...
