Anthracite grey is the most popular colour option for our post and parcel boxes, but what if you prefer a splash of colour? If you think this country is grey enough already, we can help brighten up the entrance to your home. Let’s explore adding colour with modern letterboxes.

Grey Versus Colour Letterboxes

Anthracite grey offers a contemporary choice that blends with most building materials and architectural styles. It’s understated and neutral, offering timeless appeal. What’s more, it’s practical, as dust and dirt don’t show up. Therefore, it is no wonder that many homeowners opt for anthracite grey post boxes and front doors.

However, not everyone wants their home to blend in. Some of us are looking for a more striking front entrance. We want the first impression of our home and our family to be warm, fun and welcoming. So, if you want to make a stronger statement, what are the colour options for external letterboxes?

Letterboxes in Muted or Bright Colours

Scandi-inspired colours for your home
When it comes to interior décor, we know that black, white and grey aren’t the only neutral colours. Fortunately, many other tones blend well with design schemes, yet add warmth to our homes. Scandinavian design is renowned for getting the balance right. It uses muted colours to create a harmonious finish.

Is this the style you wish to emulate at the entrance your home? If so, take a look at Lovisa, a free standing parcel box, which is ideal for modern living. Lovisa is engineered in Sweden and available in muted green, red or blue. This postbox has a wider opening and higher capacity hold, so can receive and store small packages. As a result, you can avoid parcels being left on the doorstep.

Our Albert and Albertina wall mounted letterboxes are offered in the same Scandi colour range. Do they match or blend with your front door, home and garden?

Seeing Red

For a bolder and eye-catching statement take a look at the red Moda Italiana Gioiosa. This slimline, die-cast aluminium letterbox is a stylish take on traditional red post boxes. Another popular option is the red Europa Maxi. Both are corrosion-resistant, secure and wall mounted external letterboxes, manufactured in Europe. Let’s make it easy for the postie to see where to deliver your mail!

The latest edition to our letterbox range includes Partridge and Wren. We’ve found a new specialist in Lithuania, which has designed and manufactured a new selection of post boxes for our 2025 range. Offered in stunning Oxford blue and pale green, these are fully compliant with stringent EU standards. We think this new range of wall mounted letterboxes offers fantastic value.
