Black Wallplates
A versatile yet bold color, black wallplates can pair with black switches and outlets for a modern look, or with white or colored switches and outlets for a more vibrant and inviting look that demands your attention. Black will never go out of style and walks the line perfectly between clean & classy and festive & fun.
Brass Wallplates
A more traditional finish, brass has regained popularity due to the breadth of texturing available today. No longer limited to traditional polished finishes, brass has expanded into brushed, satin, and rustic options, each with its own regal beauty and charm.
Bronze Wallplates
Bronze is a timeless classic; this versatile finish can be used on its own in traditional and transitional spaces or used as an accent in modern mixed-metal styling. Amerelle’s Bronze collection encompasses both aged bronze and brushed bronze options to complement a variety of décor styles.
Copper Wallplates
A true artisan finish, copper is also known as a “living finish” due to its constantly evolving patina thanks to the protective oxide layer protecting the base metal. A well-used copper finish will develop in complexity throughout the lifetime of the product, making for an evolving piece of art, unlike any other wallplates.
Gold Wallplates
A versatile and design-forward finish, gold wallplates bring refined warmth that feels both current and timeless. Available in brushed and satin finishes, gold pairs beautifully with today’s most popular lighting and hardware trends. Whether used as a subtle accent or statement detail, gold adds a polished, elevated touch to everyday switches and outlets.
Nickel Wallplates
The backbone of modern and contemporary décor, nickel finishes offer a cool tone and eye-catching finish that is often used in tandem with darker metals to add visual interest.
White Wallplates
A universally appealing finish with the highest versatility, white wallplates create a clean and refined look. They contrast boldly against vibrant walls or blend seamlessly with light neutrals, letting other decor shine.
Off-White Wallplates
Soft and understated, off-white provides a neutral, warm-toned alternative to bright white, blending seamlessly into light, airy spaces with a timeless appeal. Off-white is also a perfect complement to natural wood cabinets or furniture.
Two-Tone Wallplates
Elevate your space with the bold contrast and refined elegance of our two-tone finishes. Featuring striking combinations like Black & Brushed Nickel and Black & Champagne Bronze, these styles offer a modern edge while maintaining timeless appeal. Perfect for contemporary and transitional interiors alike, the two-tone collection adds depth, dimension, and a designer touch to any room.
Finished Wood Wallplates
Amerelle's wood finished options are as unique as the grain patterns on each individual wallplate and span a range of finishes from weathered white to rustic brown.
Unfinished Wood Wallplates
A customizable option for any décor, unfinished wood wallplates can be stained or painted to match your style. Whether enhancing the natural grain with a rich stain or adding a bold pop of color, these wallplates offer endless creative possibilities.
Amerelle's unfinished wood wallplates are stainable and paintable.

Helpful Information & FAQs
What wallplate finishes does Amerelle offer?
Amerelle offers decorative wallplates in a wide range of finishes, including nickel, chrome, brass, bronze, copper, gold, black, white, off-white, and natural wood tones. From polished and brushed metals to matte and antique finishes, there's something to complement nearly any interior design style.
How do I choose the right wallplate finish for my room?
Start with the colors and materials already shaping your space, such as paint, wallpaper, backsplash, and trim. You can choose a wallplate finish that blends naturally with these elements or creates a complementary contrast. Nearby hardware, lighting, and fixtures can also help guide your selection.
Can I mix different metal finishes in the same room?
Absolutely! Mixing metal finishes can add depth and personality to a room. Try choosing one dominant finish and using others as accents. Repeating those accent finishes in details like wallplates, cabinet hardware, lighting, or faucets helps create a cohesive, intentional look.
Should my wallplates match my switches and outlets or my walls?
Either approach can look great! Matching your wallplates to the surrounding wall color creates a subtle, blended appearance, while contrasting finishes can turn switches and outlets into decorative accents. Coordinating with the switches and outlets themselves is another option for a clean, unified look.
What's the difference between brushed, polished, matte, and antique finishes?
Polished finishes have a smooth, reflective appearance, while brushed finishes feature subtle texture and a softer sheen. Matte finishes offer a more understated, low-reflection look, and antique finishes often incorporate darker tones or distressed details for added character. Each creates a different effect depending on your decor.
What wallplate finishes work best with different paint colors?
Neutral wallplates like white, off-white, and brushed nickel complement a wide variety of paint colors. Warm metallic finishes like brass, bronze, and gold pair beautifully with earthy tones, while black and chrome can create striking contrasts. The best choice depends on whether you want your wallplates to blend in or stand out.
Do all wallplates in a room need to have the same finish?
Not necessarily! Using the same wallplate finish throughout a room creates a consistent look, but mixing finishes can also work beautifully. Consider the surrounding paint, wallpaper, backsplash, and hardware when deciding whether a coordinated or contrasting approach works best for your space.
Can decorative wallplates complement wallpaper, tile, and backsplashes?
Definitely! Decorative wallplates can help tie together patterned wallpaper, decorative tile, and kitchen or bathroom backsplashes. Choose a finish that picks up an existing color, texture, or design detail, or select a contrasting finish that adds another layer of visual interest.
