Wildlife Wall Decor

A simple thing you can do to make your house seem more inviting to others is to add a welcome sign out front. Welcome signs can come in all shapes and sizes. Many choose to go for a mat, but they can also be window hangings, posted signs, cut wood, and just about anywhere else you can think of writing welcome.

Not only do they give guests (and sometimes strangers!) that warm feeling when walking up to your door, they add a splash of color and whimsy to your yard. The look of the sign can be tailored to you exactly. Are you really into butterflies? Decorate your sign with them. Do you have a shabby chic theme going on? Use a distressed wood finish. Remember the importance of first impressions – and make yours a good one with a welcome sign.

The kind of welcome a  person has on their front porch many times demonstrates who lives in the house.  Welcome signs can communicate information about the type of person living there . . . their character, their hobbies, interests, or even the number of inhabitants.

The theme of the sign can be Western, Southwestern, or nautical in flavor.  It could make a political, social, religious, or military statement.  The color and design alone is an individual’s preference, and the variations are in the millions. 

Regardless of the theme varieties, the main purpose of a welcome sign is to give your guests a comfortable feeling that they are invited to your home.
