A door sign acts as an initial welcome to visitors, whether it’s to someone’s home, a shop or a company. That’s why it’s important that such signage is clearly designed.
A front door sign can be inviting and warm, or completely neutral. It can also give a clear message that nobody may go through the door, or that the door is alarmed. Its appearance depends on what the person inside wants to convey. However, the most common option is to place door signage on the exterior door to welcome visitors.
Door signage – more than just a name plate
What many people initially associate with door signage is a “lives here” sign, a welcoming front door plaque that indicates who lives in the house. Anyone who wants a personalised front door plaque should design it to be personal and consider what feeling they want the sign to convey. A unique door plaque does not just indicate who lives in the house, but can also reflect the family’s personalities and interests.

In addition to adorning outer doors, there are a number of other uses for door signage within the home. Personalised door signs can be used to show which child sleeps in which room, or can be used to indicate the location of the toilet.
Front door name plates are also excellent for indicating who resides in other premises, such as offices or shops. Such signs can also be used to show opening hours or function as an address sign. In public buildings, it is also common to use door signs to mark the location of toilets, cleaning cupboards or staff rooms.
