Switch plate covers are one of those small details that I think make a disproportionately large difference in the aesthetic appeal of a house. They are just like putting chrome spinners on your black Cadillac Escalade. Or maybe putting hub caps on your AMC Gremlin. Restoration Hardware makes a variety of configurations in white or bone, with mounting hardware included. Their standard switch cover has dimensions of 2.75″ wide by 4.5 tall. You can pimp your switches with a single switch plate that runs about $10 from Restoration Hardware.
