Light up your darkness with art switchplates

Experiment with some art switchplates. You're likely, then, to raise the priority of switching out the rest of those plain slabs of plastic on your walls. Nobody considers the plastic ones a decor item. Note what happens, though, when you install one of these artisan-crafted switchplates...

Flea Market Brainstorming

When you're looking for art switchplates but don't quite know exactly what, take a look at eBay. You'll be amazed at what you find. It's a great place to get ideas about what's available. You could even find something you love!

Where to Buy

The first place to visit is Art Plates of Rancho Cucamonga, California - between Los Angeles and San Bernardino. You'll notice right away that their name befits their product offerings. Your choices range from Michelangelo's "Hand of God" - let there be light! - to a sports-themed switchplate with soccer balls. You'll find so many categories that you'd be hard-pressed not to find something you like. Their switchplates use "classic decoupage technique" and are "sealed with a shiny smooth finish to prevent scratching or water damage."

Adela's Functional Art has some of the more unique switchplates you will run across. They are made covering upholstered fabric with a heavy glaze that makes them look and feel like porcelain. Naturally they are sturdier. These are gorgeous switchplates. You don't want to miss a visit to this artist's website based near Jacksonville in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Take a look at some porcelain ceramic light switchplates at Betty Baumann's out of Atlanta. These are hand painted items offering unique decor for your walls. Note that her website does not have all the designs that are available, but you'll find such works as Ladyslipper, Violet, Blue Morning Glory, Garden Gate, Starfish, Butterflies and many more.

At Unique Interior you will find "a collection of decorative art by individual artists." You're unlikely to find the artistic switchplates available here anywhere else. You are invited to choose your own finish, knobs and switches. Some of the choices include green copper, copper and brass.
