How to Match Any Decor to Wood Switch Plate Covers by Jeremy Smith
Wood switch plate covers come in a variety of shades and styles. They can look warm and rustic, or they can be chic and modern. Some wood covers are varnished, while others may be left unfinished. They can be simple or intricately carved. Because they are diverse, it is easy to match them to any room’s decor. It takes some thought, but finding furniture and flooring that goes well with wood switch covers can be fun.
The best way to match decor to a wood switch cover is to use wood accents that complement the switch plate. If the switch covers in a room are light, choose light hardwood flooring or wood tables to pull everything together. Medium to dark shades should coordinate as well. For visual interest, use contrasting upholstery on the furniture. The room will appear cohesive, and the solid woods will stand out among the other colors.
Another way to emphasize the cover plates is to bring a variety of colors into a room. Multicolored carpeting, couches, chairs and lamps will make the subdued wood tone on a wall plate pop. Matching any accent pillows or throws to the color of the wall plates will draw even more attention to them. This creates a balance while keeping the focus on the entire room rather than one or two pieces of furniture.
A modern way to match furniture, lighting and other decor to wood switch plate covers is to vary the woods. To successfully pull this off, it’s important to avoid mixing themes in a room. Using a variety of wood shades can create an interesting living space as long as the room is unified in some way. Look for unique elements in the wall plate like carvings or shapes, and match these to the furniture. This will tie everything together.
The theme of a room can be easily harmonized with its cover plates. Unfinished Wood Wall plates provide rustic charm for a western or country-decorated room. Ornately designed, antique cover plates complement Victorian-style furniture. For those who enjoy contemporary themes, painted wall plates or sleekly varnished dark woods go well with avant-garde furniture and decor.
These accents are inexpensive, traditional and easy to find. There are countless unique designs available, and most homes can be enhanced with the addition of these wall accents. The key to highlighting the wood switch cover is coordination. Anyone can use the right colors and wood shades of furniture or flooring to bring out the classic look of a wood switch plate.
