Outlet covers on this tile backsplash?

il y a 8 ans

What should I use for outlet covers on this backsplash? There are 4 outlets around the kitchen, all are white. Leaning towards a brushed stainless steel to kind of blend in with the tile, or should I get the paintable kind and paint them the same color as the tiles (I have that paint swatch)?

And what style looks best? A lot of the stainless ones are fancier than I like, but the plain ones are shiner than I want.

Thanks!

(Yes, after 4 years, this kitchen is almost done!!!)

If you use a silver tone make sure it is matte finish so there's no glare. An antique nickel finish might look good. We did ours in ORB to coordinate with our lighting, faucet and door and cabinet hardware.

From reading earlier comments about this same subject, the pros on Houzz recommend that you paint your outlets to blend in with the back splash. I will also have to do this when we get around to putting up a back splash in my kitchen.

This is what I put in my kitchen with my Claros Silver backsplash and I LOVE them!

Here is a photo. I stole the idea from just the bee's knees blog.

These should be as invisble as possible Lutron makes plugs, switches and plates in colors check them out.

If you really wanted them to disappear, take a color photo of the splash and print out at same scale as the tile. Then position the plate cover over the print and trace the outline but making sure your maintain alignment of the tile grout lines. if possible use contact cement or wallpaper cement or some other spray adhesive, and carefully apply it to the cover plate maintaining the rectangle and orthangonal lines (verticals and horizontals). Cut out the outlet or switch slots, and leave enough overage to fold the paper back around the cover plate. I might be tedious but it is a custom solution for any splash. I have had painters do such work on custom homes for wallpapered walls, splashes and any other surfaces.

Spell check; orthagonal.
