How to Achieve Vintage Home Style the Easy Way

At Fun Sign Factory, we're constantly working hard to design and create new wall signs in different styles. We like to bring you wall art that is timeless and something you are proud to have on display but that also captures a hint of popular interior trends.

One wall art style that will always be popular is vintage style. It's quaint, it's quirky, and it's the key to creating a homely vibe and a space with real old-world charm. The main thing to remember is that your homewares and decorative accessories shouldn't look too polished and perfect; distressed, timeworn details and muted colors are a must.

However, sourcing vintage home decor can be a hassle - not to mention expensive! Thankfully, vintage fans, we've got you covered with our latest home sign designs. New to our sign collection this year are our vintage-look inspirational quote signs. They're characterized by heartwarming slogans printed on durable vinyl that resembles distressed wood boards. Choosing these distressed effect quote signs gives you the old-time look with all of the charm and none of the maintenance! And as with all our signs, these new ones can be displayed indoors or outdoors to complement your decor.

For your porch or living room, we have veteran appreciation signs that showcase your patriotic side and your admiration of Americana decor. For your backyard or campground, we have a firepit welcome sign that extends a greeting warmer than a toasted marshmallow! And for your vacation home, we have cabin signs and beach house signs for homespun charm wherever you are. So you can indulge your love of vintage wall art the easy way - without having to scour flea markets and antique stores!

Here are the Best Ways to Decorate Your Log Cabin

During the summer months, your thoughts inevitably turn to vacations. And if you're lucky enough to own a log cabin, then that's likely to be your retreat of choice! To make your cabin feel like a home-from-home (and boost its style credentials) take a peek at our selection of log signs then get creative with your decor!

Start with a relaxing atmosphere

If you use your log cabin as a base for hiking, hunting, or other outdoor activities, it needs to feel tranquil; somewhere you can unwind after a day in the wilderness. To do this, the rooms must be cozy, not cluttered, so fill them with comfortable furniture, plenty of throw pillows, and a little mood lighting.

Introduce texture and rustic accessories

A stag's head mounted on the wall is obligatory log cabin decor. But what about soft furnishings and decorative accessories? Lay some woven rugs so the floor feels good underfoot and have blankets to hand to ward off chills during outdoor wine-sipping sessions in the evenings. Cluster candles and hurricane lanterns on the fireplace and perhaps hang up some strings of twinkling lights. Ornaments made of natural materials always look great in cabins too.

Add some personalized family wall art

A custom family sign will complete the homey vibe and help you claim the cabin as your own. We have all kinds of designs, from cartoonish and humorous to rustic and authentic. Each one is printed on durable vinyl that can be hung outside or indoors. Try this lodge sign if hunting is how you spend your vacations, or this charming cabin sign that's perfect for families. You won't want to leave and go back to city life, that's for sure!

Why not showcase your log cabin decor on our social media page?

Waking up to a different view each morning, sing-a-longs around the campfire, discovering untouched patches of wilderness... pure bliss. But oh the packing can be a nightmare, right?? What to take? Where will it all go?

How to Pack Smarter for Your RV Trip

While it's important to pack things like safety gear, bed linen, and clothing, there's really no need to go nuts with your packing list. Only take what you absolutely need and keep it all organized because small space + clutter = road trip from hell.

If you're an RVing beginner, you'll learn over your first few trips what you definitely need to pack and what you can leave at home.  

Your Basic RV Trip Checklist:

  • Cooking and eating utensils - because adventuring works up an appetite
  • Campfire fork and matches - those marshmallows won't toast themselves!
  • Food and bottled water - you don't want to go hungry or get dehydrated
  • Bedding and pillows - for sweet dreams in a comfortable cocoon
  • Plenty of towels - for drying yourself off after showering under waterfalls
  • Toiletries and hairdryer - so staying squeaky clean on the road is a breeze
  • First aid kits - because sickness and blisters really spoil your fun on a trip
  • Flashlights and walkie talkies - safety should be your #1 priority in the backwoods
  • A variety of apparel - layer up and you'll be prepared for rain or shine
  • Devices and chargers - a must for staying connected and keeping safe

3 Ways to Make Your Man Cave More Awesome

It's surely every guy's goal to have a man cave. A place to retreat away from the wife and kids, where the beer flows and the football shows on TV every night. A chill-out zone where he and his buddies can hang, drink, and discuss... man stuff.

Maybe you've achieved your man cave goals? Well, congrats! But have you thought about your man cave decor yet? If not, then it's time you did - so here are 3 ways to make your man cave more awesome.

1. Beer is the Answer... But We Forgot the Question

Guys and beer go together like... OK, forget this story. You want to turn your man cave into the best bar in town, right? Once you've stocked the liquor cabinet, you need to set the tone with accessories. Not just for girls, decorative accessories can make or break a room. For a basement-bar-slash-man-cave, hang up some drinking humor signs and beer quote signs. The quips on these are funny even when you're sober.

2. We "Bet" You Want to Get Sporty

This man cave decor theme is aimed at sports fans. Football, baseball, basketball, golf... whichever ball sport you follow, go ahead and incorporate it into your decor! We have a huge line of sports bar signs that can be personalized with your name, team colors, and even your man cave bar's established date. They're more impressive than the Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl record.

3. Hey There, Hipster. We Mustache You a Question

If you're more of a beard-sporting, culture-seeking, cold-PBR-drinking kind of guy, then you're probably a hipster and we're sorry. But you can still make a man cave sign work for your personal style! With a hipster bar, it's all about the fine details. A witty home bar sign or two will set the scene for japes and merriment; have yours customized with your name to show you're the proprietor of a fine establishment!

How are your man caves looking, guys? Show and tell on our social pages!

The Best Ways to Upgrade Your Tiki Bar Decor

Tiki Bar

A tiki bar in your home or backyard is more than just a place to hang out with friends; it's a chance to set your creativity free! The Hawaiian influence means you can go all-out with color and accessories to make the place as exotic as you like. Here are some tiki bar decor ideas to give your tropical hideaway an upgrade.

Go Bold or Go Home!

When it comes to tiki hut decor, color is the key to achieving that definitive tropical look. The only rule? The bolder the better! Hot pink, jungle green, zesty orange, and sunshine yellow will all bring warmth and evoke island vibes. Add a splash of azure blue for a nod to the color of ocean waves. Keep your backdrop simple and neutral (think tan brown and natural straw) to really make those paintbox colors pop!

Create a Cozy Nook

Pile up the pillows on a corner bench to create a comfortable, intimate seating area. Guests will appreciate being able to take the weight off their flip flops while they sip their piña coladas! Need outdoor tiki bar ideas? Add a few blankets to avoid the chill when the sun goes down. Mix your colors, textures, and patterns for a vibrant look and true tiki style.

Accessorise Without Limits!

Accessories really bring your tiki decor to life. For a heavenly Hawaiian look, mix palm tree ornaments with flower garlands and lots of raffia. For kitsch tropical style, dot pink flamingo and pineapple objects around the bar and string up some colorful lights.

The crowning glory of your tiki bar decor should be a personalized tiki bar sign from our collection! We have a variety of designs featuring parrots, sunsets, and tiki totems so you can get the tiki-tastic look you've been dreaming of. Margaritas, anyone?
