Are your wallplates starting to look a little worse for their wear? Have your white wallplates started to yellow? Perhaps you’re interested in a new look for your home? Whatever your reason is for changing wallplate covers, you probably have questions about how to match or complement the switch and outlets. Here is a quick guide to help you cover the basics:
- Check to make sure you’re buying the right configuration to match the color.
- Decide if you want your switches and outlets to match the wallplate or complement it. Many switches are white, so if you don’t want to change the switch, consider a cream, grey, or silver-toned wallplate.
- Be careful about going oversized. Buying an oversized wallplate might look great in a large room, but it looks odd on a wall in small bedrooms. Oversized works well when it matches the switch or outlet color.
- Choose between screw and screwless wallplates. If you’re going for a sleek, contemporary look, screwless is a great choice.
- Sometimes colors look different online than in person. If purchasing wallplates online, make sure you know the return policy.
