Residential mailboxes provide an excellent opportunity for a homeowner to display some creativity and exhibit his or her own personal style. The mailboxes can be decorated any way the owner likes, as long as the mail carrier can still access the mailbox to put in and take out the mail.
Masonry Mailboxes
One of the most popular ways to create some interest for a residential mailbox is to build it out of bricks or stone. Mailbox stands can be made of any sturdy material, and the process for building them is the same as the process for building a wall or a barbecue pit. The mailbox can be made to match the exterior of the home for a uniform look. It could be large, with built in lights or planters. Or it could be small and simple. Some people arrange the bricks in unusual patterns to create unique mailboxes.
Flowers and Plants
A less expensive and time consuming way to make your residential mailbox more interesting is to put flowers or other plants around the base. In the spring it is nice to have bulb plants, like iris, growing around the foot of a mailbox. The summer is a good time to plant large grassy plants, or even smaller versions of sunflowers. Some people prefer to have shorter flowers blooming around the base of their mailbox. To protect the flowers from the lawnmower or other dangers, it is a good idea to put some sort of small border around the plants.
Novelty Mailboxes
If you are more interested in whimsy, there are several types of novelty mailboxes to choose from. Fishermen may like a bass mailbox that has a head for a door. Every time the box is opened the head is swung away from the body. Rural residential mailboxes are fun when they are shaped like tractors or other farm equipment. Some mailboxes are shaped to look like miniature houses. If it can be formed into a box, there is probably a mailbox that has been designed to look like it. Several novelty mailboxes are available that look like classic automobiles or trucks, as well. There is no limit to the imagination when it comes to interesting mailboxes.

Residential Mailboxes -- Another Form Of Design?
There are so many things that people think about when furnishing a house. Furniture, lamps, bedding, kitchenware, electronics, appliances, toy boxes, artwork, tablecloths, rugs, and all kinds of items, but one of the least thought about necessities are residential mailboxes. It’s probably not too much of a stretch to say that most people don’t give their mailboxes a thought, not even when withdrawing the mail from it. It’s an item that is often taken for granted. For some, there isn’t a need to consider mailboxes. Many parts of the country have centralized boxes, something that is convenient for the mail persons delivering the mail, but which also invites vandalism and postal theft. Centralized boxes are usually nothing more than rectangles on a post with nothing special or unique about them. Then there are those who avoid having traditional mailboxes in one of two ways. Either they maintain a box at the local post office or through some other mailbox provider, or they use mail drops. These mail drops are basically slots, usually attached to a garage where the mail is simply slid through. About the only decorative decision with these is what material the slot is made out of. Residential mailboxes for a large percentage of homes, though, are on the front porch, attached to part of the home. They actually come in several sizes, shapes, and colors now and can be adorned with all kinds of decorations, from stagecoaches to initials. Homeowners can even purchases mailboxes that can be locked, giving them an added degree of security when away on vacation or even while at work. Whereas once residences had mailboxes that were out on the street, that has now become more associated with rural areas. Most suburbs have porch boxes. Today, there are online retailers who sell large lines of mailboxes. It’s possible to get just about any design desired. Still, not everyone devotes time to thinking about residential mailboxes. Even with so many options out there, people just don’t realize how much their mailbox is an extension of their home. It’s actually one of the first things visitors see and really should be given a higher priority.
