The Inspiration Behind Idaho Metal Decor

I was raised in Hailey, Idaho, the beating heart of central Idaho, where the rhythm of life followed the turning of the seasons.

My name is Alberto, founder of Idaho Metal Decor, and my roots here run deep.

Growing up summers meant floating the Big Wood River, biking around town until the stars appeared, and camping at Redfish Lake with the scent of pine all around. I regularly hiked Carbonate Mountain, stood in awe beneath the Milky Way at Prairie Creek, and wandered the Sawtooth Range until they felt like lifelong friends. And I still do. 

Fall brought the thrill of suiting up to play under the Friday night lights with my fellow Wolverines, and weekend trips to Boise to cheer on the Boise State Broncos.

Winters were for skiing Baldy, Pomerelle, and Bogus Basin, then warming up at the lodge with friends. Our Family adventures took us along the Snake River, to the Filer Fair, up to Coeur d’Alene, and to Twin falls to watch base jumpers leap from the Perrine Bridge.

Those rivers, mountains, skies, and small town moments are the soul of every piece we design. From rugged mountain silhouettes to custom Idaho cabin signs, each design carries a piece of the Gem State’s untamed beauty. Every sign is made to order in the USA made from heavy duty 16-gauge American steel and powder-coated for rust and weather resistance, ensuring it will last for years whether it hangs in your living room, on your porch, or outside your cabin.

Whether you were born in Idaho, fell in love with it during a visit, or are simply drawn to its wild spirit, our Idaho metal wall art is designed to help you hold onto a place and a feeling worth keeping. My hope is that when you see one of our signs, it stirs the same warmth, wonder, and connection I’ve felt in the places that raised me, a reminder that some landscapes deserve to stay with you, wherever you go.
