Using Vintage Advertising Signs To Spice Up Space

By Harriett Crosby


Figuring out how to decorate a room can be a challenge as there are many options from which to choose. Yet, the concerns that most people have most often are the cost and the amount of time it will take to change a room. Anyone who wants to add some flair to space without spending a lot of time or money might want to try vintage advertising signs.

These signs and other artwork can bring a sense of nostalgia as some like to remember things that no longer exist. Some like to use these because these signs have colors, artwork, and text that is rather unusual and sometimes have fun or quirky images. Seeing these images is not as common as it once was.

Using vintage signs is nothing new as some businesses have done this as a way to bring a retro feel to their establishment. Sometimes these signs and other displays are inherited from the previous owner of the business. Whatever the reason, they add an aesthetic to a space and the great thing is that they are generally easy to add.

Choosing a theme or pattern for a room is common amongst those who enjoy decorating or adding visuals to a room. A good example is those who pick items and furnishings in one color and add items that are in that color range. The addition of vintage signs that have these particular colors can add an interesting contrast to the room.

For anyone who is wondering where to find these signs there are a number of options. There are many online retailers that sell clean prints, often at good prices and some even offer discounts on large orders. Those looking for originals may have quite a hunt on their hands and, depending on a number of factors, they may find themselves paying a nice amount of money.

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.

Visiting a store can help stir up some decorating ideas for a living space. When some choices have been made, the buyer should look for places that have a good sales record. The use of vintage advertising signs is one way to add a different type of pizazz to a room and choosing the right seller can save money and time.
