Your house numbers aren’t just practical — they’re a statement of style.
Whether you mount them horizontally or vertically, how you install your numbers can completely change the look of your home.
Here’s how to get each layout just right with Adoorn’s 6” Modern House Numbers.
Horizontal: Clean, Classic, and Instantly Readable
Horizontal layouts are timeless. They stretch across your wall or post in one sleek line, making your address easy to read at a glance.
Best for:
-
Homes with wide architecture or long facades
-
Modern, traditional, or transitional homes
-
Address areas above doors, on posts, or mailboxes
Pro Tips for Installing Horizontally:
-
Align perfectly level. Use painter’s tape as your straight edge before drilling.
-
Maintain spacing. Keep about 1 inch between each number for clean balance.
-
Stay visible. Choose a color that contrasts your siding or post.
-
Height matters. Mount around 60–66 inches from the ground for easy visibility.
A horizontal setup works beautifully with Adoorn’s floating mount option, creating subtle shadow lines that add architectural depth.
Vertical: Bold, Modern, and Eye-Catching
Vertical layouts are for homeowners who like to stand out. They draw the eye upward and work especially well on narrow or tall surfaces.
Best for:
-
Modern or mid-century homes
-
Tall columns, trim pieces, or beside garage doors
-
Entryways with limited horizontal space
Pro Tips for Installing Vertically:
-
Use a consistent gap. Keep ½–¾ inch between numbers for a balanced, stacked effect.
-
Plan before drilling. Dry-fit your layout with tape to check spacing and scale.
-
Light it up. A small downlight will emphasize your vertical line beautifully.
-
Contrast matters. Pair darker exteriors with white or yellow numbers for maximum readability.
A vertical layout instantly modernizes your exterior — especially with Adoorn’s concealed mounting hardware that keeps your design clean and refined.
