"If you painted a room in your home with a bold, statement color, then you might know all too well that stark white outlets can really ruin the look. Sure, you can paint the outlet cover, but likely, those white ghost faces will always haunt you. That is, unless you opt for paintable outlet covers, which are available on Amazon. They don't require any rewiring and can be screwed over your existing outlets - genius!"
"And right now, you can apply a 10% off coupon before purchasing, making this set even more affordable. The first thing you'll want to do is paint the TayMac covers and the heads of the included screws the same color as your walls. You can also wallpaper these outlet covers - it just might be a fiddly task cutting out the plug holes (but it can be done!)."
""One of the easiest budget-friendly home upgrades: paintable outlet covers," Allison wrote. "They slide right over your existing sockets, no electrical work required, and instantly give you that seamless, designer look. The best part? They're only $3 - making this the ultimate easy DIY hack for renters or homeowners.""
A paintable outlet cover solution hides white electrical plates when walls are painted bold colors. TayMac cover-up wall plates sell on Amazon in five-cover packs (about $11) with occasional 10% coupons, and they can be painted or wallpapered to match walls. The covers slide over existing sockets and install using the original center screw and included painted screws, requiring no rewiring. Users should paint the plates and screw heads the same color, allow full drying, and then remove the center screw, place the new cover, and reattach. The option costs a few dollars per plate and suits renters and homeowners.
