Black outlets on white walls?

4 years ago

I'm designing a van (a very small space) and mostly everything is white, short of the floors and ceilings. White cabinets, white shiplap walls, and white subway tile backsplash. There are black accents like the faucet, stove, and drawer pulls, and the van itself is black. Thinking of doing black wall outlets too... would this be unconventional/look weird?

The best way to determine is to buy a couple black outlet cover and a couple of white. Install them and live with them a little while to determine which you like better.

Wall outlets are not IMO decor items they should try to be invisible
