Three Top Decorating Mistakes With Switch Plates

Here are the three top decorating mistakes, with switch plates.

1) Painting a room, a beautiful color, adding stunning flooring and window treatments, spending thousands of dollars, then adding a gaudy dollar store Switch Plate on all your electrical outlets and switches.

2) Renovating or changing a room or your whole house, and not bothering to put switch plates on at all, the finishing touches always seem to get forgotten.

3) Not getting the right type of switch plate. If you are hoping to blend in the electrical outlet or switch, then you would find one a similar color to your wall color or backsplash if its in the kitchen, you can even get ceramic ones that blend in well.

We all own lots of electrical equipment, and appliances. Our houses are wired for sound, security, blenders, coffee makers and the trusted microwave. So, we are going to have lots of electrical outlets. They are not always going to be conveniently hidden, so why not make them a part of the decor?

Whether they are for light switches, dimmers, plugs, or TV, cable and the internet, there is a switch plate out there that will finish your room or house off nicely. Don't cheap out on this part, that gaudy one you got from the dollar store, will stand out on the wall like a sore thumb! Especially if its one of those multiple Light Switch ones, that are quite large.

If you are on a really tight budget, then you could actually change your room, with very little money. If it is the kitchen, try changing the cabinet hardware and the switch plates, and you will be amazed at the difference.

You can get all kinds of decorative switch plates now, you see more and more at the local hardware store, but the best place is online, there are so many to choose from. You can get traditional all the way to funky!

Finish off your room, and get yourself some beautiful decorative switch plates
