Multi-gang switch wall plates with both Decora and toggle opening
Comments (3)In my own case, I have used decora style mcdougal flip switches to control the fan and a large decora switch to control the vanity light. The high end fans in our bathrooms have two light functions, high and night light, exhaust and heat. This is a three gang decora configuration. Being in the "business", I don't remember seeing wall plates that incorporate decora and standard switches in one plate. That said, our house uses standard switches throughout the house and the decora style only in the bathrooms. It does not look out of place....See MoreLet's talk switch plates
Comments (10)Circle tile is from Porcelanosa (~2 1/2 years ago?), but we purchased it through a local tile place (they give us a very good discount). Handles on the cabs are from Valli&Valli. We used all three sizes in our kitchen (mostly the middle size, but used the largest size on the DW, trash cab, and cab over the fridge, and used the smallest one on our smallest width drawer which is to the left of the range). We got an excellent price on them as well! :-) Here is a link that might be useful: Valli&Valli A 230 Handles This post was edited by cat_mom on Tue, Dec 11, 12 at 11:41...See MoreWall switch too close to door frame- can't add wall plate
Comments (4)A picture would be worth a thousand words :-) But I think I know what the problem is. I've seen homes in which they've cut out a little of the door molding to accommodate a cover plate. Similarly, you could cut down a regular plastic plate. Or do a little of both. There also are cover plates of varying styles and widths. One solution I've seen at big-box stores is kind of modular: you buy thin "end caps" beveled like a square bracket [ and ] and then the parts in the middle are beveled only on top and bottom and they mix-and-match with openings for regular switches, outlets, holes (for things like timer knobs), etc. They clip together to a custom width based on what you have to accommodate. You could then paint or paper it to look a little nicer....See MoreMixing Lutron Decora Satin Wall Plate Covers with a Glossy Switch/Box?
