What to consider when choosing how your letterbox looks

Letterboxes can vary greatly from home to home. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes time to decide which letterbox or letter slot might work best for your place.

  • While letterboxes and letter slots of course perform an important role in the way you connect with people, and how they connect with you, something that sits outside the front of your home needs to fit in with your overall sense of style. Do you want to install a letterbox pillar, or do you want a more traditional mailbox style? And how big do you want it to be? (More on this in a moment.)
  • If you're got a bright colour scheme in and around your home, you might want to look for a letterbox that matches it. The same goes for if you've got a more traditionally coloured home. Your letterbox can be an extension of your home and can even be considered the first impression people will have when walking up to your place. So, choosing the right colour can make a big difference.
  • How you choose to accent your letterbox or letter slot can make just as big a difference as its overall colour. Your letterbox hardware can include the numbers you use to alert people of your address, the plate that you put on the front of your letterbox and more. Choosing wisely can make a huge difference in how you feel when you pull up to your home.

What size letterbox should I buy?

In general, you'll want to decide if you want a letterbox that can hold standard deliveries of pamphlets, cards, and other correspondence or if you want something bigger that makes it easier for couriers to leave larger packages.

If you do a lot of online shopping or receive a lot of packages for work, you might want a bigger letterbox that can accommodate the leaving of parcels of various sizes.

Another consideration is how big the area outside the front of your house is. You don't want to accidentally take up too much of your precious real estate with your letterbox.
