Signs and More Signs

From fun and funky or sleek and contemporary, to vintage and charming, there are some really cool signs that you can use to decorate your home. There are signs for the kitchen, the bath, the workshop, the garage, the laundry room, and there are also signs that your kids will love to hang on their bedroom doors such as "keep out" or "enter at your own risk."

You can use signs that mimic road signs. Put a "do not enter" or "wrong way" road sign on the door of your office or any room that you wish to keep private from visitors. Add a standard restroom sign complete with an arrow pointing toward the bathroom in the basement.

You can also have signs custom made for indoor or outdoor use and they can display your last name, monogram, or you can have a fun logo designed for your family. Maybe you prefer to inspire your family members or visitors to your home with inspirational messages.

If you cannot readily find the message you are looking for, write something down or find a good quote or line from a poem and have a sign made. Some great examples are "live well, laugh often, love much" or "sing like nobody's listening; dance like nobody's watching; live like there's no tomorrow." Of course, you could opt for a contemporary design and shorten these sentiments to "live, laugh, love."

There are many inspirational signs available that mention love, courage, hope, and family, and you can always choose old favorites like "home sweet home" or "home is where the heart is."

If you're feeling artistic, try your hand at making some decorative signs yourself.

Whichever style or sentiment you choose, and whichever way you decide to use them, signs can be a lot of fun and can add charm to any decorating scheme.
