It’s wonderful to have this glorious tile for the kitchen backsplash, but what to do about the outlets? I don’t want them to look like sore thumbs. The industry promises new solutions for the glass tiles but has not delivered as yet.

This might be the perfect color!
Since I’ve used Lutron Diva switches in the remodel, it would be great to continue with that theme. The issue is color. None of the colors seem right. Dark would be the best, but black is going too far. Satin colors look pastel and inappropriate against the shimmery glass tile. Next best might be the gloss brown color in the designer series. I’ve ordered one double gang switch plate from dimmers.net (found in a Google search) to check for color compatibility.
STATUS UPDATE: For those of you who’ve been wanting to ask, we are waiting for more tile to come in. The original order was a bit shy. Turns out that a square foot of tile may not really be a full square foot of tile.
