20th Century

Not to be confused with Modern decor. Although Mid-Century Modern interiors are inherently minimalistic, the retro aesthetic and odd shaped design elements gives it a more lively and whimsical feel.

Customer Reviews

"LIKE JEWELRY FOR YOUR ROOM"

It's the little details. It's easy enough to swap out the cheap plastic wallplates with these thicker metal ones when repainting. Like jewelry for your room, it's a subtle upgrade that can help make your room look upscale.

"LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN
THE PLASTIC ONES"

I recently repainted our office so I updated the outlet covers to this style. it's contemporary, timeless, and looks a lot better than the plastic ones I had before.

"WHEN FRIENDS & FAMILY COME OVER
THEY NOTICE IT IMMEDIATELY"

Purchased this for my bathroom which previously had an old, cream colored, plastic wallplate, and it's surprising how obvious it is now that it's been changed to metal. When friends and family come over they notice it immediately – I get lots of compliments on this update. It's crazy how something so small can make a big difference.

"AN ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO
THE ROOM & I LOVE IT"

I have to say Amerelle makes a nice, and affordable, product. I wanted this wallplate which matches the hardware in my master bedroom to change out an old basic boring white one. It is not overly heavy (a plus) and it has nice clean lines. It's an attractive addition to the room and I love it.

"IF YOU WANT TO CLASS UP YOUR
HOME, LOOK NO FURTHER"

These wallplates are thick, heavy, and mount very well. I can't emphasize enough how sturdy these are. If you want to class up your home, look no further than these metal wall covers.

"I SMILE EVERY TIME I WALK PAST THEM"

I love the design. These plates are beautiful! Near a black marble fireplace and they give just the right amount of pop to the area. I smile every time I walk past them!
