Selene Signs launches nostalgic range for homes, sheds – and Dads?
Selene Signs has launched a new range of green and brass house signs, with a nostalgic look that will appeal to anyone who wants an industrial, retro or vintage look for their home, shed, garden building or garage. The signs come in rectangular sizes or a circular version, with lettering and border that appears brassy against a distressed green background. They can be personalised with wording such as ‘My Shed’ or ‘The Workshop’ as a special gift for Father’s Day, or as reproduction railway signs for enthusiasts.
All signs from Selene are weatherproof and fade resistant, with exceptional detail and colour reproduction. Made from lightweight aluminium, they need no DIY skills to put them up, attaching to most flat surfaces using the supplied hook and loop pads, and will stay fixed throughout storms and all weathers.
“I took the colour from a green watering can and reproduced it in a design with brass highlights,” says Sheila Gimson, director of Selene Signs. “I was inspired by everything from fading antiques to utility boxes on the street, and gave the artwork a roughed up feel, grittier than our normal flawless finish.”
Selene’s signs come in three rectangular sizes: 28 x 21 cm; 20 x 15 cm; and 15 x 10 cm, either landscape or portrait according to design; and circular 20 cm diameter. The rectangular signs have rounded corners for safe handling. At end of life the aluminium signs are recyclable in household waste streams, unlike acrylic (plastic), wood or stone signs.
Pricing starts at £26.00 for a 10 x 15 cm sign; £34.00 for 15 x 20cm; £45.00 for a 20 cm diameter circular sign; and £52.00 for a 21 x 28 cm sign. All prices include personalisation with house number, name or choice of lettering, and VAT. Delivery is normally within 5-7 working days from order within the UK.
Selene Signs’ ranges include images under exclusive licence from UK designers, photographers and collections, as well as Selene’s in-house designs based on ceramics and new ideas. The company can also personalise customers’ photographs to make a unique house sign, as well as working with your own ideas for a completely bespoke sign.

Selene Signs Limited is a small UK company based in Sutton, Greater London. Says founder Sheila Gimson: “My former career in PR brought me into contact with signage companies, but I was amazed that designs for house signs hadn’t changed in decades. Search on Google and you’ll come up with a mass of grey. I set up Selene Signs as a retirement project, to bring fresh, unique and colourful designs to the house sign market, and found the right printers who combine lightfastness, high quality reproduction and a wide choice of shapes and sizes. We work with established designers, illustrators, and other sources who have given us exclusive rights to use their beautiful images as house signs or wall plaques. I’m also learning graphic design myself so I can bring my own ideas to fruition, as well as personalising the signs for our customers.”
