How many times a day do you turn lights off and on? It’s ridiculous, right? Way too many times to count! Yet, for something we use so often, we tend to overlook the light switch itself. Most of the time, the faceplate is just a dull color that matches the walls. Consider upgrading your faceplate to a brushed metal or chrome finish to give your house a modern feel that really stands out without turning more than a few screws. Check out this quick video tutorial from ForRent.com to find out just how easy this project really is.
