Name plaque hung level and secure - whether it's for a child's bedroom door, your home office, or a personal touch anywhere in the house. Properly positioned and fixed to last.
A Personal Touch, Done Right
Kids' room name signs, office door plaques, personalised family signs - these little touches make a house feel like home.
But only if they're hung properly. Wonky plaques shout "couldn't be bothered." Level ones look intentional, professional, finished.
💡 Pro tip: For kids' room plaques on doors, mount them at the child's eye level, not yours. Makes them feel more ownership of their space.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to hang it yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Spirit level (small one is fine)
- Drill or hammer (depends on fixings)
- Appropriate fixings for weight
- Pencil for marking
- Tape measure
For lightweight plaques
- Command strips work well
- No holes in the wall
- Follow weight limits on packaging
- Clean surface thoroughly first
For heavier plaques
- Small screws or picture hooks
- Pilot holes if going into wood
- Wall plugs if going into masonry
- Use two fixings not one
Door mounting
- Mark center of door (or where you want it)
- Hold plaque in position
- Check it's level
- Mark fixing points
- Pilot holes essential (prevents splitting)
Wall mounting
- Decide on height (usually 145-165cm to center)
- Mark position
- Check level carefully
- Drill/fix according to wall type
- Hang and check level again
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not using a level (eyeballing doesn't work)
- Wrong fixings for the weight
- Drilling straight through hollow doors
- Not checking for pipes/cables behind walls
💡 Pro trick: For kids' doors, mount the plaque so it's at the child's eye level when standing, not yours. Makes it feel more "theirs."
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple rooms? If you've got plaques for all the kids' rooms, I'll do them all in one visit - same height, same style, all level.
Removable options: If you're renting or might want to change it, I can use command strips or similar for lightweight plaques. No wall damage, easily removable.
Door types: Hollow doors need special care - you can't just screw anywhere. I'll find the solid parts or use fixings that spread the load.
Height guide:
- Kids' room (on door): Child's eye level
- Office (beside door): 145-150cm to center
- Wall feature: 150-165cm to center (picture height)
Updating later: If you outgrow a kids' plaque and want it removed, I can take it off and fill/paint the holes to make the door look untouched again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of name plaques can you hang?
All types - wooden signs, acrylic plaques, metal nameplates, printed canvas. Door plaques, wall-mounted ones, hanging signs. Whatever you've got, I'll get it up properly.
Can you hang them without damaging the wall?
For lightweight plaques, I can use command strips or similar. Heavier ones need proper fixings, but I'll use the smallest fixings that'll hold it securely and fill/paint holes if you ever remove it.
Where's best to position a name plaque?
Depends what it's for. Bedroom doors at eye level for the child. Office plaques beside the door. Wall plaques at picture height (roughly 145-165cm). I'll advise on what looks right for yours.
Can you do this on any wall or door type?
Yes - solid walls, hollow doors, painted surfaces, whatever you've got. I'll use appropriate fixings that won't damage the surface.
How long does hanging a name plaque take?
Usually 10-20 minutes. Find the right spot, get it level, secure it properly. Quick job that makes a nice personal touch.
