Decorative Light Switch Plates

[Julie-Ann]

Our member Giggle_smile showed us these light switch plates on another thread about stainless steel light switch plates.
I loved these so much I wanted to make sure everybody saw them not just those of us reading the other thread.
These have been available in the USA for decades but this is the first time I have seen them designed for Australian light switches.
Some of the designs are a little over the top but some like this one would be great in the right home

and this one would be perfect for Mr16's Soccer Bedroom.

This is the website for Home Plates Decorative Light Switch Covers (http://www.homeplatesaustralia.com/index.html)

What do you think?
Are there any you like?

These are great to cover up those boring light switches :)

Ebay has a few kids designs for sale (light switch covers) and also some light switch stickers

I love 'em. Great fun. These would make a great novelty gift, especially for a kid.

But, I don't like that you can't buy them online nor does the website even give you a hint how much they are :(

[Julie-Ann]

Are the ones on ebay suitable for Australian light switches? It would be great to find more of these. Do you know roughly how much they sell for Silkess.

It is very disappointing & silly that they don't have it set up to buy online and at least tell us the prices Silkinteriors:(

[silkess]

Both the covers and the stickers are being sold by Australian sellers on ebay

The light switch covers on ebay are $25.00 each if you type in 290369956799 in the search screen you will see an example of what they sell (not many choices at the moment tho)

and for the stickers type in 400084686308 which are $7 including postage.

Thanks for the information silkess:)
The light switch plate looks like the same brand.
I loved these stickers. The idea is apart from being decorative they prevent finger marks around the light switch from showing. There were a lot of designs at this (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400084686308&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com.au%3A80%2F%3F_from%3 DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D400084686308%26_fvi% 3D1&_rdc=1) store on ebay.

Do you like it?

Now if they could only invent a way to prevent dirty finger marks on doors:(

Thanks for sharing my find Julie-Ann, I actually was going to get them for the business and keep putting it off as I was not sure whether they would sell or not.

Judging by this thread I think the kids ones would actually go really well and would suit the theme of my biz perfectly. :)

I enquired about them about 12 months ago and the retail price was $19.95, they may have gone up a little since then.

Great idea Giggle-smile. I will wait to buy the soccer one until I see on Facebook that you are selling them. I would rather buy from a friend.
The stickers place had a large range too. Was there anything there that interests you?

[giggle_smile]

I have not seen the sticker ones wholesale, I will start hunting :)
