An easy aesthetic upgrade I like to make with any renovation is swapping out the outlets and switches for a screwless faceplate. IMO it’s a cleaner, more modern look that is one of those subtle enhancements to a space, like a new door handle. I feel like a paddle switch just looks better than a toggle switch, but maybe I’m a little crazy (it’s ok, I know I am 😂)! You’ll need to get rectangular switches and outlets, which are sold online or at any major home improvement store. We always use @legrandna (not sponsored)! There are multiple options for colors as well if you don’t want to go the traditional white route. For the sake of time I’m not showing you how to change the actual outlet/switch here- a quick YouTube search can show you that! All you’ll need is a Philips screwdriver for this project. Once you’ve swapped out the outlet or switch, the black piece screws onto the outlet flanges and acts as the anchor for the faceplate. The faceplate just snaps on. Easy peasy!! (Also should specify - in the video I say “under $4 total”- that would be for what you see here. If you go fancy with USB ports and nightlights etc you’re obviously going to pay more!) Most of these come in at least 5 finish options as well, linked below!! easydiy diy homerenovation easyhometips hometips homeremodel homestyle modernhome upgradedhome idiyedthat youcandoit
