Flea Market Brainstorming

When you're looking for switchplates for decorative purposes but don't quite know exactly what, take a look at eBay. It's like an appetizer to what's available as you start digging deeper. You could even find something you love!

Where to Buy

There's more than coal mining and beautiful scenery in West Virginia. "Three miles back a dirt road, through the forest across the creek and over the farm fields, in rural West Virginia, is the home of Switchplate Gallery."

Would you like to paint your plates the same or different color than your wall? Arnev Products offers paint-ready metal plates for just such a purpose. You can even cover these with the wallpaper pattern on your wall! They've got these in over 40 configurations - i.e., 2-switch, 3 switch, etc.

Scenic Switchplates is a source of hand made switchplates in various configurations. This source is for wood lovers. The artist burns "scenes of North American wildlife into maple wall plates." Once the woodburning is complete, she paints the scene. The whole plate is then sealed for easy cleaning and lasting beauty.

Kyle Design's decorative switchplates are some of the more unique designs I have come across. She creates her designs for switchplates on brushed antique brass, copper, nickel silver or polished gold decorative design on stainless steel, polished chrome, black, white or ivory metal switch plates. These are truly unique.

How about colorful switchplates that are upholstered and glazed to the point where they look and feel as though they are porcelain? It is amazing what artists think up! Check these out at Adela's Functional Art.

Be sure to check some of the other places like Decorative Hardware Store, Sassy Switches, Switchhits, and Darlene's Switchplate Designs.
