Tin switch plates and tin chandeliers don’t necessarily sound too appealing; however, when it comes to country décor, they are pretty much a "must have."
Many decorating themes play more to luxurious metals like polished brass, antique bronze and so forth, but wrought iron and tin are perfect for country décor. Honestly, an antique bronze and crystal chandelier would look totally out of place in a country style decorated home.
Iron, tin, and wood represent the "at home, country hospitality" that many homeowners prefer. Tin switch plates and tin chandeliers are hard to find in most home decorating stores, but they are always available at the Country Store of Geneva. In fact, we have a great variety so that your choice of style and size is pretty unlimited.
You might prefer something fancy, like the Shaker Star Chandelier for a dining room, or you might be impressed by the Distressed Pembrook style for a more casual setting. At any rate, they are all beautiful and countrified.
The tin chandeliers are perfectly complemented by tin switch plates and outlet covers. They are available with a punched tin border, punched tin hearts and punched tin stars, so as to combine with just about any country décor. They also come in your choice of soft black or pewter. The soft black ones are a better match for the majority of our chandeliers, such as the Peppermills and the Jeffersons.
The switch plates come in a variety of configurations so you can get that "old, antique country look" even if your house features modern technology such as dimmer switches, ground fault outlets and so forth. There is a switch to be had for ‘most anywhere, so just ask us!
Country décor is wonderful, and by adding tin switch plates and tin chandeliers, you can complete the appeal! Tin switch plates beat the plastic outlet covers for sure and they are more countrified than ceramic covers.
Replacing those modern lights with a tin chandelier or a flush mount ceiling light, such as the Punched Star Ceiling Light, will quickly make a newly built or newly purchased house look rustic and countrified.
