The signs are everywhere!
They inspire great ideas and enlighten us with encouraging messages about life, love and personal style. Vintage signage helps us to identify with one another and develop insights about popular opinions. And when it comes to the use of signage in our homes, the expression of personal style begins to tell a decorative story about who we are and how we live.

The first chapter of your design story should start with finding ways to use original, antique-inspired signage and art from designers like French Velvet Horses to help make a decorative statement relating to your theme. Your theme will set guidelines enabling you to make better choices about what fits the message behind your decorative project, while adding spice and everything nice to the combination!

But most importantly, be sure to go with what you love. Decorating with signage needs to be more about what brings you joy and happiness. Satisfying the intrinsic need to be uplifted and encouraged should beat the heart of why we use decorative signs as part of our home décor.

Try to make signage as room- specific as possible, which means that it should fit the area’s spatial composition. This will add to design depth and detail, anchoring the character of your space. Using a sign in a room that doesn’t fit the character of the space can seem displaced or out of form, so be sure to place pieces correctly in order to maintain the look and feel of cohesive flow.

If you would like for your bedroom to have more of a chic Parisian feel, consider hanging signs that convey a message about French couture and fashion next to your closet, on a dresser or above your bed.
Pillows with written messages on them also provide a great way to create mood and atmosphere in your room, while offering the same look that signage depicts.
