House Beautiful feature on signage
We’re delighted that our Hummingbird house sign, designed by Francesca Grace of Brighton, has featured in a round-up of signage ideas in House Beautiful magazine online. The article is full of pretty basic facts on how to choose a house sign and the usual conventional designs. It’s a shame they didn’t approach Selene Signs for more information, […]
Is it Art Deco, Art Nouveau or Arts & Crafts?
I first bought a stunning, colourful art deco wash jug from an antique shop back in the 19 … well a long time ago. Since setting up Selene Signs it’s been my ambition to recreate the design as a house sign, and finally it’s launched as our new Art Deco Fruit range. Here’s the original […]
Alternative mounting for our signs
Helen from Folkestone loves the sign we produced using her original artwork with racehorses. She was also keen to have a special, secure mounting and being pretty skilled at DIY, shared with us her instructions: I started out with Wickes’ Bullnose pine architrave, says Helen, as I wanted that rounded profile, but any profile will […]
Smarter stable signs for your horse or pony
It was only a small step from ‘house signs’ to ‘horse signs’, so we’re delighted to add stable signs to our, ahem, stable of personalised products. Upload a picture of your horse or pony in the your photo section of our website and you can have a beautiful sign that leaves no doubt as to the identity […]

We continue to be delighted by how many customers ask us for a special design – one based on their loves or maybe their house or cottage already had a name they wanted visualised. Of course, all our standard signs are personalised to a degree, with a number or name dropped into our popular designs. […]
Celebrating football winners
The 2021 season has ended, but your support can live on with a personalised football club house sign. We’ve shown some examples based on recent champions, with apologies to anyone that we’ve missed out: Chelsea FC: supreme winners of the Champions League, so we’ve added the outline of the trophy to our Chelsea Football Club […]
A warmer welcome
We always say house signs should reflect your personality, and you can be assured of a warm welcome from this customer in Chatham, Kent. Don’t turn your nose up at the beer glasses, house signs don’t have to be a permanent fixture for a thousand years. Most of us move far more frequently, yet so […]
We love your own sign ideas!
You might be forgiven for thinking that producing a personalised sign involves changing the numbers, names or address, and occasionally a different font or colour. But because of Selene Signs’ flexibility, we can design a completely bespoke sign for our customers. Indeed, some of our best-selling signs have been generated that way, as with Spanish […]
Our signs make great gifts
When we started our personalised house sign business, little did we believe how many would be bought as gifts. You would need to be so sure of someone else’s taste, if you’re giving them a decorative item that will be on full display at their home or garden, we thought. But this year we’ve been […]
