29 Ideas to Make Your Mailbox More Charming and Unique
These mailbox ideas have many different types of set-up and construction. Many of these ideas can be put together in a short time by visiting a home improvement store and buying a mailbox off the shelf, then constructing a planter or attaching a lattice for climbing plants. Some of them are harder for the average homeowner to put together, and will need a contractor’s help. Showpiece mailboxes of stone and metal fit this category.
Visual interest can be easily added by putting on a fresh coat of paint or a fun pattern. For an unexpected detail, try adding an adhesive design to the inside of your mailbox like wallpaper. Your letter carrier will smile, and the design gives a pop of color whenever the box is opened. These mailbox ideas will help your house stand out from the others on your street. Make sure the letter carrier has access to the mailbox! If your address is on a driving route, the driver in the mail truck needs to be able to just stretch their arm out to deposit your letters in the box and drive to the next house. A lot of towns have regulations about where your mailbox can be located. Letter carriers everywhere will thank you!
