Custom Switchplate Designs
Even though it seems we have an endless number of designs to choose from, sometimes you might have something different in mind! This black and white gingham check that we made for our kitchen really looks wonderful on the wallpaper!
We've had great success using fabric scans, wallpaper remnants or other printed material to create switchplates and receptacles that will make your decorating 'pop'!
Some of our favorite switchplates have been made using our own photography, and we can use yours, too!
When choosing a picture or design for a switchplate, the most important thing to keep in mind is the placement of the switch and screws on the image. Remember that you need to keep faces or other important parts of the picture positioned above, below, or to the side of where the switch openings must be cut. If you need a single or double sized switchplate, a vertical ‘portrait’ sized picture is best. For triple sized switchplates and larger, a horizontal ‘landscape’ image would be best. Send us your pic by email. It needs to be at least 300 to 600 DPI resolution using a JPEG format; this will prevent the finished picture from having that grainy look. Remember--the higher the resolution, the better the picture.
To have switchplates made from another type of image, a fabric scan, wallpaper, or some other print, it's best to mail us the material to be used and let us scan it. Do not fold!
The cost of having custom switchplates made is $25 per image in addition to the regular price of the switchplate. If you need more than one switchplate made from the same image, you pay the $25 setup fee only once. Custom switchplates cannot be returned or exchanged.
