Why should anything in your home be basic?
If you created an accent wall you should make sure that the rest of your wall is cohesive and blends in together.
One would think that a light switch is such a small element on a wall and it isn't as visible, you are absolutely mistaken! We are actually in contact with our light switches almost every single day. As a matter of fact, it takes a lot of beating from us - on, off, on, off, on, off.
They are just as valuable as any part of our homes so make sure they are also decorated properly to show your personality.
I made sure that my light switch cover plate matches my accent wall.
First I spray painted the light switch cover with a color that matches exactly the paint that I used for my wall. There are many variations of each color so just make sure you check how close the color is to your choice of color on your accent wall.
I added my decorative pearl stickers when the switch plate was dry
I used Mod Podge to seal the paint and pearl stickers for long lasting durability. It dries clear and fairly quickly.
And there you have it.
I have a newly decorated accent light switch cover plate.
PSA - Make sure that you spray paint the screws that you will use for the light switch plate as well just so everything is the same color.
