Our White Metal Princess Size wallplates are the perfect solution when a standard wall plate is just slightly too small. Designed with a taller profile, these plates help cover paint lines, minor drywall imperfections, and oversized cutouts—all while maintaining a clean, bright white appearance. Made from durable metal with a semi-gloss white finish, they offer a sturdy, professional look that blends easily with most trim and décor.
This focused collection includes only white, metal, princess-size wall plates in today’s most common configurations: toggle switch, Decora®*/rocker switch, and duplex receptacle. Whether you’re updating a single room or remodeling an entire property, these plates provide a high-quality appearance with reliable coverage.

- Durable metal construction with a smooth white semi-gloss finish
- Available in toggle, rocker (GFCI), and duplex configurations
- Offered in 1–6 gang options for consistent styling across a project
What Makes Princess Size Wallplates Unique?
Princess size wallplates bridge the gap between standard and full oversize plates. They are ideal when a standard plate won’t fully cover the wall opening, but a jumbo plate would look too large. Princess plates provide just the right amount of extra height to conceal:
- Uneven drywall cuts
- Old paint edges from previous wallplates
- Small chips or cracks around the electrical box
- Gaps from tile work or remodeling
This makes them a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces where clean, consistent finishes matter.
Advantages of White Metal Over Plastic
Metal wallplates offer superior durability and a higher-end feel compared to plastic. Customers often choose white metal princess wallplates because they:
- Resist cracking when screws are tightened
- Provide a more professional, solid appearance
- Handle wear and tear better in busy environments
The white semi-gloss finish creates a bright, clean aesthetic that pairs well with most white switches, receptacles, and trim.
Available Configurations
This sub-collection is dedicated exclusively to white metal princess size wallplates. You’ll find a complete range of configurations, including:
- Toggle Switch – Traditional up/down switch openings
- Decora® / Rocker – Works with rocker switches, dimmers, smart switches, and GFCI outlets
- Duplex Receptacle – Classic two-outlet covers
Multiple gang sizes are available so you can keep a consistent look throughout a home, office, or renovation project.
Where These Wallplates Are Most Useful
Princess size wallplates are particularly helpful in locations where walls are imperfect or where previous wallplates left visible outlines. Common applications include:
- Kitchens and bathrooms with new tile or backsplash work
- Rooms where old paint marks are visible around the switch or outlet
- Commercial spaces, offices, or rentals needing durable, uniform plates
- Older homes with slightly oversized or uneven box openings
Size Comparison: Standard vs. Princess vs. Oversize
Wallplate sizing is important for achieving a polished installation. Here’s how princess size fits into the size spectrum:
- Standard – Best for clean, precise wall openings
- Princess – Ideal for small imperfections or paint lines, or just for the princess style!
- Jumbo / Oversize – Best for larger gaps or damaged areas
Princess size offers subtle added coverage without appearing noticeably oversized on the wall.
Installation and Compatibility
These wallplates are compatible with standard U.S. electrical devices and boxes. Features include:
- Pre-drilled holes for standard mounting
- Matching screws included
- Fits all typical toggle, duplex, and decorator-style devices
For best results, avoid overtightening screws—snug and level is all that’s needed for a clean installation.
When to Choose White Metal Princess Wallplates
You may prefer this style if you:
- Need slightly more coverage than a standard plate provides
- Prefer the strength and appearance of metal over plastic
- Are updating switches to rocker-style devices
- Manage or renovate high-traffic spaces requiring durable wallplates
