Smart home accessories may make our houses more capable, but they can also make them look slightly worse.
Few things are as off-putting as having lots of wires hanging around, or multiple gadgets in plain sight. But sometimes hiding them isn't possible, or would defeat their purpose.

But if it clashes with the rest of your home's decor, don't worry; there are many third-party wall plates to help it blend in just fine. We've rounded up the five best options below, so your house can stay smart and look good.
