Once the desired sign has been chosen, it will be time to think about the fixtures and how you would want to display your new sign. Most generic signs will come with its fixtures such as a few screws, or you may have opted for a freestanding sign that will be placed at the end of a driveway or in the garden next to a flower bed.
There are many other ways to fix a sign upon your desired place that enhances its natural beauty by using another material and creating a hybrid house sign.
Fixtures can come in different materials, and you would have seen many of them around towns or country lanes displaying local information, most display signs are attached to a wooden post or have a sign that is attached to a metal hanging bracket.

Glass signs
Glass signs look professional and elegant against an acrylic frame fixture with LED lighting behind the front frame; businesses or modern-looking homes are suited to this look.
Brick Walls or Chalkboards
An affordable sign option would be to paint a brick wall with chalkboard paint creating your design and lettering by using chalk; this can even be customised for events, messages for delivery drivers or even asking the kids to create a unique sign for your family.
Alongside the chalkboard sign is another option where you can get as crafty as you like with affordable brick paint and then with using stencils and spray paint, you can create a custom sign that is applied straight onto the wall.
