Your mailbox is much more than just a place to receive bills. It’s often the first sign of your home visitors spot from the road. So while you’re choosing a new mailbox, think about your mail and package delivery needs, but you may also want to consider adding a bit of curb appeal.Â
Address Your NeedsÂ
If you frequently order online, maybe it’s time to upgrade to a large mailbox, a parcel drop or even a sturdy courier box that can safely hold more than one large package at a time. Do you worry about theft? Put your mind at ease with a
locking mailbox. In a multi-family home or small residential complex, postbox units might be a practical update that will add charm. With a weather-ready finish, your purchase will last for years to come.Â
Â
Stamp It with Your Signature StyleÂ
A simple wall-mount letterbox can show off your classic taste, or you could adorn your driveway with an antique-style bronze box and post kit. Find a model that has a spot for a newspaper, too, or go with a streamlined modern mailbox for sleek design. Add color to the curb when your pillar is topped by a lantern or fun feature. For a truly unique display, pair a mailbox and post with different styles or designs.Â
