Compare the starting sizes.

Choose a starting size to carry it into your request. Nate will confirm the dimensions and final total with you before you order.

Start with the space where it will hang.

Measure the usable width and height, leaving room around the sign and anything nearby. Include features that affect the layout: a doorway, window trim, a narrow wall, or furniture underneath. Send width first, then height, in inches.

If you are deciding between sizes, cut a piece of paper or cardboard to each size and hold it in place. Look at it from the spot where people will normally see the sign. This helps you judge the footprint before you choose a design.

For a gift, you may not know the wall measurements. Say that in your request. A general description of the room or the person receiving it is a useful place to start.

Give the wording and artwork room.

A short name, a longer phrase, and a detailed scene ask different things of a layout. Write out everything you want on the sign, then mark what someone should notice first: a family name, a business name, or a particular image.

If you want several lines of wording and several images, explain which are essential and which could be simplified. Mention if the sign needs to be read across a room. The final layout needs to balance the space, the words, and the artwork.

The Hulsey Family Lakehouse sign combines a family name with a lake, dock, and pine trees. Use it to describe the scene you like, then explain your own available space and wording. A photograph alone does not tell you which size to order.

Tell Nate what your budget needs to cover.

Say whether your budget is for the sign itself or for the total including shipping. That helps Nate discuss the size, paintwork, and details with you.

Shipping, custom paintwork, and design extras are confirmed in the quote. Choosing a size here does not set your final price or take payment.

Still deciding? Send these three details.

  • The available width and height, or a note that you need sizing help.
  • The exact wording and the artwork that matters most.
  • Your budget, including whether shipping needs to fit within it.

Not sure which size to choose?

Send your available space, wording, and budget. A rough idea and approximate dimensions are enough to start the conversation.
