The store where we bought most of our light fixtures also sold outlet covers. Although they were plastic they were made to look like many different types of stone and tile. I was fooled when I first glanced at them and had to actually touch them to see that they were really plastic. Because we had no need for something like this I never found out if a local artisan made them or whether they are a readily available product. I think your local lighting store might be a good place to start to try to find the look you want. HTH.

Yes they do make stone and stone look covers but they are not inexpensive. The travertine look ones in the link are resin. However, if you only have a several outlets that need them whats a few hundred more bucks in a kitchen remodel :) (compared to a few dollars for plastic:)

You could also get some wood ones from SwitchHits and finish them to match your cabinets. They are low profile wood, not like the ones that look like they were made in Shop class.

As a default metal to match your appliances or hardware would also work

Our local tile store also showed me covers that were stone look. I never felt them to see if they were faux stone (aka plastic painted with stone look paint). They sure looked real enough to me.

Wow,those stone covers sure are expensive! I could go with wood covers and paint them the color of the cabinets or maybe stainless steel covers. Another idea I had was trying to make some that look like the tumbled marble. I was thinking of using some texture wall stuff on the cheap plastic cover and then painting it the color of the tumbled marble. I don't know if it will work...but I may try it. I just can't bring myself to pay $30-$50 per outlet cover!

I was just at home Depot picking one more SS cover plate for my kitchen. I noticed they had several that were paintable, the also had several that look like stone and were reasonable- I think under $10. I didn't have my camera w/me so can't send a pic but perhaps they have it online.

HTH

I had wondered if anyone has checked out the Michaels Craft Store in their woodworkers section to see if they had wood switchplates that could be painted?

Wow, I had no idea of the price of the stone ones, just that the tile place carried them.

I have a slate tile backsplash and painted wood outlet plates with craft paints to match. (please ignore the white outlets, they will be changed out to dark brown - someday)

I don't have any suggestions for your outlook covers, but your DH did an awesome job with your backsplash. It looks beautiful. You must be so proud of him!

Wow, that is a great find at Home Depot.

I have those exact same Home Depot wallplates in my guest bath. They look very nice in person, not cheap-looking and the price was definitely right!
