Best House Numbers

Recently a friend of ours was looking for new house numbers. Because of time constraints, she ended up with house numbers from Restoration Hardware. They're classic and look fine, but she really wanted something more... distinctive. So we started searching. Jump below the best ones we found.

• Neutra House Numbers - DWR
• Contemporary House Plaques - Abode Plaques
• Custom Address Numbers - Customhousenumbers.com
• House Numbers - Weston Letters
• Avalon Modern House Numbers - Atlas Homewares
• Black Iron House Numbers - Horton Brasses
• Classic Brass House Numbers - Rejuvenation
• Carriage House Numbers - The House Number Connection
• House Numbers - Accurate Image
• French Enamel House Number Plates - Franco-File
• House Numbers on Film - Brume

THanks for this...I'm actually looking at housenumbers, so it's a good resource. We might be going with a custom piece, however: 4 2x3' panels of steel with 1 digit cut out of each, rusted to a certain point and then sealed, then mounted on a trans panel to cover the backlighting hardware/bulb, and mounted on a brick wall that will be built in front of the house to complete the front patio area. Big, Huge, Rough numbers - but I really really really like the Neutra font from the 4th link....

Thanks for the list!

Also, check out Chiasso for the Signo numbers and a couple other styles:

If you have a local Orchard Supply check there. I seen some brushed aluminium 6"/8" Helvetica font address numbers fairly inexpensive.

Sorry no online catalog off their site to link to.

We use solar number lights too, and they are great. We always had trouble having delivery guys and gals find our place at night, but not anymore. Plus the solar light aspect of it just makes it look cool and modern.

the matterinc #'s are awesome, but you really need direct sunlight to adequately charge them. if you want to go the led route, mint makes some really nice ones.
