Decorating With Vintage Advertising Signs

By Harriett Crosby


For anyone who enjoys decorating their home, the choices are numerous. For many who are looking to save money may want to try something new or different that looks of quality and not as if they spent little money, there is an alternative. Adding vintage advertising signs is a way to liven up a space.

These are a great choice because for some they tend to bring back nostalgic feelings about a product or service. Other people like to add these as part of their decoration because many are colorful, have memorable images or textual content that may be illustrated or are cartoon like. It is rare to find these unique qualities in advertising displays of today.

For a long time, businesses have done this to bring a vintage feel to their operation. In most cases, the signage is usually handed down from the previous owner along with other items that came with the location. Whatever the reason, they add certain feel to most spaces and for the most part, are easy to install and maintain.

When it comes to decorating, some people like to choose a theme for a room or space. For instance, some people like to have their kitchen, including appliances, in one color or pattern. Retro signs that have these features as part of their image are a great complement to the decor of the room.

The places that sell vintage ad signs and posters are plenty as they can be found online. However, most of these are high quality reproductions that are sold at good prices and some retailers may even offer a discount on special orders. Anyone that may be on the hunt for originals is likely to spend a lot of money as well as time looking for certain items.

Although some original signs may be bought at auction houses, thrift retailers, and other unique stores, the selection may be limited or there may be visible damage that only a professional can restore. On the market are independent sellers that offer great prices but it is best to check them out thoroughly before conducing a sales transaction. While this may take some research on the part of the buyer, doing this early on protects them in the end.

When some people buy retro or vintage signs to decorate a space, they may be inspired to decorate an entire room around the sign itself. The use of vintage lighting, furniture, and other items that may complement the sign or theme chosen for a room may also follow. Doing this can lead to many interesting conversations about what led them to create such a fun or interesting living space.

To get some ideas, it is a good idea to visit any online store and get ideas. Once a person has seen something that catches their eye, they should begin filtering those with a great reputation or have been in business for a few years. Vintage advertising signs are a great way to decorate a room without a lot of fuss or expense.
