Common in the US, the postbox is having something of a moment in the UK for both aesthetic and practical reasons. For example, a traditional letterbox means your house is less insulated and less secure. It might mean letters damaged by pets or, if you’ve got glazing, it could advertise your absence as your post piles up. Perhaps a matter of opinion but letterboxes just don’t work with some designs – think those with a bronze finish or any door with ridged elements. Have we convinced you? Here are some things to consider before taking the post box plunge.
Make sure your box is the correct size for the type of post you regularly receive – go for a minimum of A4 or your post will get bent.
Make sure your box is lockable so your post can’t be stolen.
If your postbox isn’t going to be under a canopy, make sure it’s waterproof to keep your mail out of the rain.
Don’t be afraid to be bold – go for a bright colour, interesting design or unusual finish.
Consider adding your house number or name on the post box so it’s practical too.
You might choose to coordinate your post box with other finishes on your home – perhaps opt for the colour of your windows, door or trims.
