Hey Sis, Ready to Rock Your Space?

Let’s keep it real—sometimes the tiniest change makes the biggest difference.
And swapping out those boring, cookie-cutter light switch covers? Girl, that’s one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner?” upgrades.

✨ No electrician.
✨ No heavy tools.
✨ Just YOU, a screwdriver, and a little Kila magic.

Let’s walk through it step by step. You got this.

Step 1: Safety First, Always ✋🏾

Grab a flathead screwdriver (that’s literally all you need). Then:

• Turn off the power to the switch or outlet you’re working on.

• Don’t touch any exposed wires.

• Keep your work area dry (no sipping wine while you unscrew, sis—we’ll toast later).

You’re safe? Good. Let’s flip.

Step 2: Unscrew That Old, Basic Cover

Use your flathead to remove the screws from the old cover. A little elbow grease, a twist, and boom—it’s off.

Now, pause for a second and look at what’s underneath. It’s giving… bland. And that’s exactly why you’re here.

Step 3: Quick Wire Check

If the switch looks neat, perfect—leave it be. If the wires are a little bent or messy, just straighten them gently with your fingers or pliers. Think of it like detangling your hair before a twist-out.

Step 4: Add the Glow-Up ✨

Now the fun part. Take your new Kustom Kreationz switch cover (the one that actually matches YOUR vibe), line it up with the holes, and screw it into place.

Sis. Instant transformation. A 2-minute DIY that makes your whole wall look intentional.

Let’s Recap

• You needed one tool: a flathead screwdriver.

• You turned off the power (safety queen 👑).

• You unscrewed the old cover.

• You replaced it with something soulful, stylish, and SO you.

Easy, right? Told you it wasn’t rocket science.
