Decorating With Vintage Advertising Signs


by Harriett Crosby


When it comes to decorating choices, there are many routes in which to go. However, the bottom line for many looking to make the most of their money without making their room or other living space look like a cookie cutter design is how much it will cost. For the person who wants a unique style without taking a lot of time or spending a lot of money should consider vintage advertising signs.

For some, it brings back a bit of nostalgia to simpler times or it reminds them of a product that is no longer around. Then again, some find the color, images, and text used in these signs attractive as some styles are animated or have unique artwork that is hard to find today. Seldom are these features found in modern day ads.

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.

Some like to go with a theme, pattern, or color scheme when it comes to decorating a room or living space. Having one room decorated in one color is common and many will go to lengths to ensure this is consistent throughout. Choosing signs that use a color of other feature tends to add a great aesthetic to a room or space.

Finding these signs for sale is easy, as they are sold both online and offline by a number of sellers. However, quite a few online retailers offer clean reproductions at competitive prices and have great deals on special orders. This is recommended as buying original signs or posters may cost a bit of money and can be hard to find.

Places to find original ad signs and posters are online and in person auctions, thrift shops, and other retailers. The only downside is that the selection may not be the best and the quality may be questionable. Although independent sellers who advertise original signs for sale, it may be wise to check them out thoroughly before going through with a sales transaction.

There are people who like to go full force when they decorate a space using retro signs. They may choose bric a brac, furniture, and other items to complement the sign or do this as a way to pay homage to a certain time period. Many find this to be entertaining as it may be a conversation piece for guests.

There are many places to find inspiration or basic ideas, such as the online retailers and websites that deal with room decoration. When there are a couple of ideas, a person should next find a seller that not only has a great price but also has positive feedback from previous buyers. The use of vintage advertising signs is a unique way to change the look of a room or space without spending a great deal of time or money.
