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.

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.

When it comes to decorating, some people like to choose a theme for a room or space. For instance, some people like to have their kitchen, including appliances, in one color or pattern. Retro signs that have these features as part of their image are a great complement to the decor of the room.

The places that sell vintage ad signs and posters are plenty as they can be found online. However, most of these are high quality reproductions that are sold at good prices and some retailers may even offer a discount on special orders. Anyone that may be on the hunt for originals is likely to spend a lot of money as well as time looking for certain items.

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.

To get some ideas, it is a good idea to visit any online store and get ideas. Once a person has seen something that catches their eye, they should begin filtering those with a great reputation or have been in business for a few years. Vintage advertising signs are a great way to decorate a room without a lot of fuss or expense.
