You can get 1000s of designs and colors in this type of cover. Just go online and choose the design you like (this one is also included in my recommendations).

There are 100s of live art for light switches people sell online, especially on Etsy, but I also have found some of them in other places like Amazon and eBay.

Not just humans, you can get cat, and dog faces as they look so cute or cute angry faces (if you are a cat person or dog person).

7. Attach Your Beloved Pet’s Photo

Now this one is something out of this world and I do not think this is a good design.

Look, they have installed the light switch inside the closet. What! How will you going to access it if you need to turn it on quickly?

But then I thought, no this one is also helpful if you have kids in the house, who constantly disturb you all the time (but you enjoy it).

So get this one if have the same situation.

9. Hone Your Art Skills Over the Switch

If you want a faster solution, then you must try your creative power over the switch and draw or build something unique.

Create some art with a pencil or use paper to build an angel. I mean draw any art you like and the light switch will change in look and feel.

10. Let Your Kid Do It

I do not know what the language is but it looks awesome.

The Eagal (I assume) is something that inspires one to go hard in life and try once more or get things done like an Alpha.

If you are a football fan then this kind of design may suit your wall to feel bold again.

It is also similar but a bit more shiny in terms of boldness.

12. Attach Something to It

It is the simplest and easiest option to cover up the light switch.

15. Add Stickers
