How Mailboxes Add Architectural Character to Your Home

When you buy a house, you often want to ensure you can put your own personal touches on it, to make it feel like a home. For the interior this can be as easy as buying a new groovy rug and hanging up photos of your last family holiday to Bali or tackling a kitchen renovation and styling it the exact why you’d like it.

You could look at decorative columns, fancy window trim or exterior wall decorative mouldings all of which would look fabulous. Or the super budget friendly option of going to your nearest hardware store and buying that cliché brown doormat that has ‘Welcome’ on it in black cursive writing, but most homeowners are looking to add a bit more of a personal touch to their home. Since your letterbox is one of the first things you see when you arrive at your home why not start there? An architectural design could make your letterbox pop.

Your mailbox is your homes connectivity to the world, it’s the place you go to collect your morning newspaper, where you get sent the invitation to your best friend’s wedding, and the place where you realise that they caught you doing 75km/h in a 60 zone.  All in all, your mailbox is there with you for the good, the bad, and the painfully frustrating life events.

There’s no reason why your mailbox must remain a merely functional aspect of your home. It can become another design element to create curb appeal for your home. This all sounds good in theory, but you may be wondering ‘How can I do this in a way that is cost effective but still durable?’ Well, I have four words for you.

  1. Hard
  2. Coated
  3. Expanded
  4. Polystyrene

Hard-coated expanded polystyrene (EPS) is incredibly strong, long lasting, durable towards the elements and capable of enhancing the structural integrity of your mailbox. Best of all EPS has design flexibility meaning that if you can imagine it, our team at High Profile Architectural Mouldings can turn it into a wonderful creation! Now it’s time for you as the homeowner to decide on what direction you want to take. You may want to design your mailbox so that it matches your homes style and mirrors its trimmings through architectural ornamental mouldings, embellishments, or engravings. You could also use the colours of your home’s exterior walls or the theme of your yard as a reference point for your mailbox’s architectural design. The possibilities are endless!
