These switchplate covers look interesting.

Wow -- those look great! I was only finding plastic ones with pictures of stone, not real stone. Thanks!!!

Move it to the drywall wall.

There is no drywall...

Eliminate this outlet, it is a poor location for an electrical outlet.

It was apparently required by code, next to the front door. Sidelights are on the adjacent walls where you pointed.(stone continues from outside to inside, past the sidelites and front door)

I am not aware of any code requirement. You may want to ask to see where it is written.

You may be best off locating the outlets in the floor. I assume the outlets will not get used anyway.

210.11 (G) (4) The whole front entry is stone, and the porch is flagstone over concrete. Floor receptacles are not a great option either.

What is "210.11 (G) (4)"

The code that requires a receptacle outside the front entry.

I just realized the second image is an exterior porch. Ask to see the actual receptacle and cover they propose to install there. Most I have seen are very obtrusive.

Think about where you will actually need an electrical outlet for the way you use the porch.

I have never seen a good solution for an electrical outlet in a stone wall, they always look odd to me. I think a floor outlet is still a good idea indoors.

Thanks Mark. We have a floor receptacle on the other side of the front door, but I believe another code prevents it from being in the path of the door swing. We did question the code requirements with the electrician, but had to aquiess when he insisted it was required.

Inside and outside...

I would put the interior outlet in a floor outlet and cover it with a good looking umbrella stand.

Don't let this happen to you. Luckily it is behind the bushes.

Personally I've never liked decorative switch plates. To me, a stone plate would stand out since it's kind of unusual. It's like when people cover their plates with wallpaper. Or like covering a utility box with stone to make it blend in a garden. It never really looks right. I always see these and think "who do you think you're fooling?"

I recommend getting a paintable switch plate, and paint it matte beige. It doesn't have to be a perfect match, just close enough to not stand out. you might even find an almond or ivory plate that is close enough, like this one. (IDK if you could find anything in matte, but a painted metal plate can be dulled with a scotch brite pad or a coat of clear matte spray paint.)

Thanks everyone. I also just noticed another outlet in the stone next to our garage door -- another code requirement. I hope to get something a little better than what Mark showed! I'll let you know what we pick. Thanks again for all the suggestions -- your time and ideas are appreciated.

outdoor ones are more limited, as you need to protect the outlets with some kind of cover when not in use, as opposed to inside, where you can do any sort of buff outlet cover... there are also "nickel" ones that have a sort of brownish tone that disappears into brown tile or stone.

Get a sample of one like that and maybe this one, and try them against the stone...

Buy a cheap cover and paint it one of the stone colors. It will disappear.

These are the kinds of things that seem like glaring issues when you are building the house, but soon disappear into the background when you start living in the house.

I just got up and had to look at where the outlet ended up on my front porch, smack in the middle of the wall, but they painted the outdoor cover the same color as the stucco, so it just blends in. Down the road I can hide it behind a plant, bench, or whatever, if necessary. Doubt I will ever need to use the outlet.

Chispa, SOOOO many things have seemed like glaring issues in the build -- this is just one that I can actually control...

Rustoleum and Krylon mfg. textured spray paint to mimic stone. Hardware and craft stores plus Amazon sell the cans.

@rho, I forgot all about that product! Brilliant!!!
