Minimalistic Address Plaque Ideas

• If you live in a modern home and prefer a no-frills approach to your home decorating and personal style, a minimalistic address plaque is for you. However, simple does not have to mean boring. Decide whether or not you want to include your family name, street name or just your house number on your address plaque. Choose a muted color that matches the exterior of your home, and have the letters printed in a sans-serif font. Your address plaque will give off an air of understated elegance.
  
  

Ornate Address Plaque Ideas

• For those who think bigger is better and who enjoy a baroque style for their interior decorating, an ornate address plaque is a good choice. Choose opulent colors such as metallic gold, silver or bronze that match the exterior of your home. Alternatively, you may choose an opposing color but use a detailed back piece, such as one with a damask design, and an ornate script for the lettering. Details are key in an ornate address plaque; you want your guests to notice it, so don't be afraid to add faux precious stones or other elements that will up its "wow" factor.
  
  

Rustic Address Plaque Ideas

• For some residences, such as country cottages or cabins, no type of address plaque other than a rustic one would work with the overall design of the property. A rustic address plaque immediately conjures a feeling of relaxation and connection with nature, and should be designed with these elements in mind. A rustic address plaque's back piece should be made out of wood, with the lettering written on in informal script. If you're crafty, you might consider gluing on your lettering with twigs or tree bark.
  
  

Glitzy Address Plaque Ideas

• Glitzy address plaques are best reserved for those who live in apartment buildings or condos and are hanging or mounting their plaques on their doors, because of their bejeweled nature that may may them attractive to thieves. Choose a back piece in a color you love and that appears often in your home, and consider either painting the address on with glitter paint or spelling it out in faux gemstones. Add rhinestones, glitter -- even feathers! Chances are if you're considering a glitzy address plaque you're not one to go for anything understated anyway!
