When we were painting my apartment last month, we ran into an issue with the faceplates for light switches and outlets. Even though they should be universal, that didn't seem to be the case when it came time to put them back on, and most ended up looking slightly askew. We're getting ready to paint our kitchen, and I didn't want to run into the same problem, so I came up with an easy solution: number them!
Write a number on the back of your plate (so it won't show when you put it back up) and put a corresponding number on the inside of the switch (that way it will stay hidden, no matter how fancy your switch gets). It's quick, easy, and will relieve the headache of moving plates from outlet to outlet as you try to find a match.
