Wall Plate (Real Materials)

I have installed these plates (the brushed stainless with polished nickel accents) in a bath with a mix of chrome and satin nickel fittings, as well as in a bedroom with satin nickel furniture legs but polished nickel lamps and brushed brass door hardware. I tested two other options -- the unframed brushed stainless steel and satin nickel plates -- before deciding. The mix of polished and brushed finishes pulls together the multiple metal finishes in my rooms best, and they are very elegant. The polished nickel detail is a beautiful touch and makes the plates look more 'finished' than the other two, but still very contemporary. I used them with the magnesium switches, which don't really bring out the best in the plates. I think a darker switch, like the graphite wall plate color, would be prettier. Note that in my experience, these plates are much easier to install than the cast metal oil-rubbed bronze plates, which are stiffer and tricky to snap into the backplate on walls that are not perfectly flat. They are stiffer than the plastic plates, but more like those as far as installation.

I was thinking to replace my outlets in to my kitchen but when I ordered and received my mind change and now I am going to change every outlet in my whole house

This review is about Legrand Adorne Mirror Black wall plate, it is from Adorne's "deluxe" series, rather than the classic series with a significant price increase. And it looks beautiful, I have used it on my kitchen and plan on using it in living and dining rooms. The construction is good, not excellent and being a wall plate it does not add any features compared to any other random wall plate; you buy this for its appearance. Value is always in the eyes of beholder, for me it was. I would understand anyone who decides to go with the classic series though, since the price difference is 4 to 6 times more. Overall satisfied with my purchase and I would recommend.

Beautiful and minimalist modern

The cool factor is definitely high with these switches, plugs and plates! Easy to install, work great and most excellent to look at!
