At Rustic Switchplate Studios of Phoenix, Arizona, we specialize in whole-room and whole-house applications of hand-carved wood switchplates and outlet covers for homes, cabins and lodges.
Choose from our four standard designs, or we will work with you to create a special style specific to your taste and décor. Since we manufacture our own templates, we can handle oversized plates, offset plates, and nonstandard configurations.
For custom plates, we work predominantly with decorators, designers, and builders, but we welcome inquiries from everyone. Contact us for a free consultation.
About Rustic Switchplate Studios
After building a rustic cedar lake house in Northern Michigan, I searched high and low for that one final bit of décor to cap this lengthy but exciting project: Rustic wood wall plates with which to decorate the electrical light switches and outlets located throughout the home.
I found loads of metal, porcelain, and plastic plates that featured a variety of rustic motifs, most of which were mass-produced outside the USA. I found some wood plates, but none resembling the tattered grained, old barnwood style that complimented the heavy beams and knotty flooring.
So, off to the workshop I went, armed with chisels, files and a creative flair born out of my days as an artist and woodworker. Years of experimenting led me to four designs that I felt would enhance a wide range of custom décor.
As word spread, I began getting calls for those tough-to-find sizes, combination plates, and for more subtle, modern designs. The studio grew from there.
If you do not find a style that fits your décor, contact me. I promise that I will do my best to make your idea a reality. And, if you are not completely satisfied with all the plates that I make for you, send them back for a full refund.
