Doing up a room in our house and looking for a unique double switch plate but I’m coming up empty. Any style welcome !

Take a look at Kyle Switch Plates (I think they all come in all types of configurations - including double switch plate - if you click in). I've only used them for weird specialty switchplates I couldn't find elsewhere - not decorative ones - but I can recommend them for that purpose.

Etsy also has fun ones!

I have seen transparent ones where you could put matching wallpaper if you're my mom or a nice image.

Switch Hits has some options.

Here's a nice one from Wallplate Warehouse.

Google searches for "handmade double switch plate covers" and "decorative double switch plate covers" show some good results. Hope this link and this link work.

Also, Wallplates Online lets you search by category, color, configuration, etc.

There's a wide range of possibilities here. If you can provide more detail about what you have in mind, we may be able to provide better answers.

Is your Southwestern theme more subtle, or more over-the-top?

Do you like owls, or do you prefer parrots? How do you feel about cats? Dogs? Birdhouses? Bunnies? Fish, or maybe just sea horses? Never mind the fish, some people prefer a nice spicy chicken.

And do you want to have matching power outlets?

If you have access to a 3d printer, Thingiverse has a bunch of designs.

I don’t know your style, but I like this artist’s work a lot (look through her Etsy shop for design ideas too; she does custom work).

I've painted and wallpapered them. I have a decoupaged Andy Warhol switchplate with a cat on it. There are some spray paints that have interesting effects - metal, stone.

How about Talavera ceramic ones? Something about Talavera makes me ridiculously happy.

I once saw a listing for these amazing wrought iron style switch plates which I can't find. But there are lots of basic cast iron switch plates on Etsy, and if you want to go really over the top, there's this.
