Whether you choose warm brass, crisp chrome, or a custom design, the right electrical cover turns an everyday necessity into a thoughtful design detail.
Types of Outlet Covers
Knowing your options helps you pick the best outlet cover plates for each room.
Standard Switch Plates: Standard toggle switch plates are flush-mounted and made from durable thermoplastic material or polycarbonate thermoplastic. These fade-resistant outlet covers are perfect for closets, pantries, and laundry rooms—spaces where functionality is a priority. You need plates that can withstand daily use without any hassle.
Decorative Light Switch Covers Ready to upgrade your electrical outlet areas? Decorative outlet covers come in satin nickel, matte black, and vintage brass finishes and styles. They echo cabinet pulls and light fixtures, making even the smallest surfaces part of your interior design story. These decorative wall plates transform ordinary switches into design elements.
Screwless Switch Covers: For a clean, minimalist look, screwless plates conceal all hardware behind a smooth, seamless face. Screwless options seamlessly blend with painted walls or patterned wallpaper, ensuring that the focus remains on your décor rather than on exposed screws. These glossy finishes offer a modern, uncluttered look.

Tips to Choose Switch Cover by Function
A few practical pointers will make sure your light switches and outlets look as good as they function. Whether you need a single brass outlet cover, brass outlet plate, or brass switch plate cover, our AC outlet covers come in aged brass finishes that develop a beautiful patina over time.
Match Material to Location:
- Kitchens and baths: They require outlet covers made from corrosion-resistant metals, such as stainless steel or brass, that can be easily wiped clean.
- Living rooms and bedrooms: They benefit from warm metals or decorative plastics, adding a touch of everyday elegance.
Coordinate Your Hardware: Survey your doorknobs, faucets, and dimmer controls, then choose switch plate covers that match their tones. When all hardware aligns, your space will feel thoughtfully curated instead of pieced together.
Check Size and Fit: Most homes use 1-gang or duplex outlet covers for electrical boxes, but older walls sometimes require oversized or jumbo plates to hide uneven drywall or thick trim. Consider wall plate spacers for proper alignment over textured surfaces.

Outlet Covers for Every Room Decor
Different rooms demand different electrical outlet covers. Here's how to decorate each space thoughtfully.
Kitchen Switch Plates: Kitchens handle spills, splashes, and frequent wipe-downs. Stainless steel or brass cover plates resist moisture and fingerprints while coordinating with appliances and faucets. They add functionality without cluttering counters.
Living Room Outlet Cover: Living areas often feature electrical outlets near media consoles or side tables. Decorative wall switches in brass or matte black complement the furniture hardware, allowing the switches to blend seamlessly into the aesthetic.
Bedroom Light Switch Cover: Bedrooms should feel restful, so softer finishes like antique brass or warm bronze work beautifully. These covers are perfect for creating calm environments. In children's rooms, add tamper-resistant options for peace of mind without sacrificing style.
Bathroom and Outdoor Switch Plate: GFCI-compatible covers keep reset buttons accessible and protect against moisture. Weather-resistant switch plate options safeguard exterior outlets without compromising on design quality.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing light switch covers is simple and safe:
-
Power Off: Cut electricity at the breaker and verify with a voltage tester—always prioritize safety
-
Remove Old Plate: Unscrew gently and set screws aside for reuse
-
Mount New Plate: Align over the electrical box, insert screws until snug (avoid overtightening)
-
Test: Restore power, test switches, and confirm covers sit flush
Consider 2 pack options for matching switches and outlets in the same room. Regular maintenance involves wiping with a damp cloth to preserve finishes and maintain that polished appearance.
