Find the perfect wall switch plates for behind your flat-screen TV and furniture. For the best look, buy inset outlet covers with HDMI jacks so you can plug in your flat panel HD TV without the power cord running down the wall. Add decorative lamps to your side tables or night stand without pulling your furniture away from the wall to make room for the plug. Shop for all types of recessed switch plates with built-in outlet receptacles, HDMI connectors, data jacks or coaxial cable TV jacks for your wall-mounted HDTV, computer monitor, or audio/video screen.
Wall hugger outlets recess your light sockets, HDMI connectors, cable TV & data jacks back into the wall so your flat screen TV and furniture can sit flush with the wall. Choose from recessed outlet box covers for receptacles and cable jacks made in USA.
If you have built up around your light switches with a thicker wall material - such as wainscoting or the addition of a built-in cabinet or mirror wall - you will need to pull your recessed electrical devices out to sit on top of your final surface. There are no deep plates that go into the wall to meet sunken switches.
You don't want to cover your devices (as shown here).
If your devices are sunken and partially covered with a permanent surface such as a mirror or granite, it will prevent you from accessing and removing any broken switches in the future.
You may have to break off the ears on the device straps to pull them forward if they've already been covered. If you've cut a large enough opening to pull your outlets forward, you can use spacers or goof rings (with long screws) to mount your devices back into the electrical box.
If your final surface is wood or another combustible material, you'll want to use goof rings as a safety measure to prevent a potential fire.
