Choosing the Right Light Switch for Your Home
When planning your home’s lighting, the type of light switch you select might seem like a small detail—but it can make a big difference in both functionality and style. At Royalty Custom Homes, we help homeowners choose a single switch type that complements the entire home, ensuring a consistent, cohesive look throughout.
Two of the most popular options are toggle switches and rocker switches, each offering distinct benefits depending on the style and feel you want for your home.
Toggle Switches: Classic and Tactile - Included
Toggle switches are the traditional, time-tested choice. With their familiar up-and-down lever, they provide satisfying tactile feedback every time you use them.
Why We Recommend Toggle Switches:
Offers a classic, traditional aesthetic
Provides clear, tactile feedback when turned on or off
Ideal for homes with a timeless design
At Royalty Custom Homes, when a classic look is desired, we typically select toggle switches throughout the entire home for a unified, consistent feel.
Rocker Switches: Modern and Sleek - $
Rocker switches provide a contemporary look with a smooth, one-piece mechanism. A gentle press turns the lights on or off, making them easy to operate and perfect for modern interiors.
Why We Recommend Rocker Switches:
Sleek, modern design that complements contemporary spaces
Operates with a simple press, offering convenience and ease of use
Ideal for high-traffic areas or homes with a clean, updated aesthetic
When a modern, streamlined look is desired, Royalty Custom Homes typically installs rocker switches throughout the entire home, creating a cohesive, polished appearance in every room.

Style of your home – Classic vs. modern aesthetic
Ease of use – How the switch feels when you operate it daily
