Wooden signs can present themselves in many shapes, colors and sizes, as well as offer maximum customization. Whether it's a wooden sign for a business or home decor for a man cave, customized wooden signs give a unique touch to any area that is sure to catch eyes and gain attention. This list is my top 5 applications for wooden signs and gifts that are sure to add a unique touch to any space.
1.) Traditional Customized Wall Decor Signs
This is an obvious application that seems to be too simple, but the options are endless, and it quite literally is what you make it. Whether you have a pet, family member, great career or impactful quotes that you wish to display forever a wooden sign can help capture these feelings and bring you joy at every glance. This also presents an opportunity for you to create your own unique wall decor that all your neighbors haven't already picked up at Hobby Lobby.
2.) Open / Closed Signs for Home Garages and Local Businesses
Most of the local businesses you stumble across have a boring, blue and white open and closed sign that always seems to tell us that they will be back in 10 minutes. This is a fantastic opportunity to present any business with a unique sign that can add their own flare to their business front. I also love the idea of having the "neighborhood's garage" and this is a comical piece to have that will let your neighbors know if today is the day to drink a beer and mess up projects! Any time a wooden sign can be mixed with interactive functionality it is almost always a win!
3.) Wall Mounted, Customized Bottle Openers
This is a fun option, because not only do you get the chance to showcase a unique, custom sign but they also have functionality that everyone will notice and interact with. On top of the customization options, these bottle openers can be mounted anywhere and everywhere dependent upon the wood species used.
4.) Wooden Entryway Signs for Businesses
This is an application that I wildly underestimated until I got the opportunity to commission a sign for a local gym, which turned out to be outstanding! Having unlimited options, we decided on cedar which held and intricate grain pattern and finished the sign with a table top epoxy in order to give an unmatched, glass-like finish. It is a great feeling to know I will be connected to this business for years to come. Wooden entryway signs are a great application for coffee shops, and other local businesses, that wish to add a unique and personalized touch to their space that no one will overlook.
5.) "Catch-All" Trays
This option varies a bit from the wooden sign category, but they make fantastic gifts for your loved ones and friends. While they are not presented as a sign, a "catch-all" tray can be customized to the same extent. Whether you customize these with a family name, logo or a highly regarded image, these gifts are functional and can last a lifetime.
