Visualize your part of the house. Do you have a living room painted with blue walls or plastered with a fancy wallpaper? Then, as your eyes run through the walls, you get to the part where the light switch is and it’s plain white. It’s actually messing up with the fluidity of the room’s design.
Here’s a good news: You can get creative light switch covers to match the room’s design! You could even make your own. Here are samples to get you started.
If you’re into this black and white music thing, you can have black notes and G-clefs on your light cover switch. This would be perfect in the music room.
If music doesn’t capture your heart, but books do, then why not integrate your favorite book quote about lights on your door? This quote says something about how happiness can be found by “turning on the light”. This was popularized through J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. It would be cooler if the light switch is actually glow in the dark.
Aside from book quotes, you can still have a novel-inspired light cover just like these two. One is a wooden cover with a famous spell from, again, Harry Potter. The other one is a book cover redesign from a bestseller, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
If you have a room that is elegantly styled, you can pick out those which were designed with finesse. You can pick out those with intricate carvings in royal color or those with metallic tones.
For tweens and young ladies, a funky design in bold colors and geometric patterns is a cool choice. These vinyl switch covers would easily blend in modern lady’s minimalist room.
For the baby’s room, there are a lot of fancy designs to choose form. With your current room theme, you could search online shops for design which would add to the playful vibe of the room. Here is a light switch made from lego blocks, perfect for a baby boy’s room. Another one is a light switch with friendly animal creatures made from polymer clay. This would be fit to place inside your baby daughter’s bedroom.
For the travelers, there’s this contemporary rendition of the Eiffel Tower on a lgth switch -- to remind you of your Eurotrips and other happy escapades. It’s splashed with bright colors to compliment your sunny disposition towards traveling.
If you are feeling a little more creative, you can design a cover which will incorporate or hide the switch part into your creation. This Police box cover is a classic example.
And lastly, you can make a tribute to a legendary icon who “showed you the light” in your life by having his or her portrait painted on your light switch.
