Knock knock 8 house numbers that will make a good first impression

Your entranceway is the very first thing visitors and passersby see when they lay eyes on your house. Just as the eyes are windows to the soul, the front door and surround serves as a mini manifestation of your house's spirit.

Beyond a painted front door and smartly tiled stoop, you can show personality through signage. A lover of all things sleek and pared-back might opt for chrome numbers, like the Beardmore ones seen below. Those with colourful, eclectic interiors, might choose Rookwood's painted ceramic piece. Whichever camp you fall into, scroll on to see eight stylish designs, chosen by House & Garden's Elena Smintina.
