Monoprice Blank Decor Insert - 4"x1.4"x0.25", with Screws, White
Quick take
The Monoprice Blank Decor Insert is a small, white wall-plate insert meant to cover unused openings in décor wall plates so your switch or outlet area looks finished. It is a budget-friendly way to hide a leftover hole after upgrades, and buyers commonly mention a snug, more flush fit and a secure hold.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Designed to cover unused holes in décor wall plates, creating a cleaner finished look
- Comes with screws for straightforward mounting
- Buyers report it fits well and sits flush, with a more secure feel than at least one other blank insert they tried
- Helps avoid rewiring or replacing the whole gang box when plans change
Cons
- Best results depend on getting the right size for your wall plate opening
- It is a cosmetic cover, so it does not solve wiring or functionality changes by itself
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is limited, but the available snippets point to a consistent theme: the insert is used as a practical “cover-up” for a leftover opening. Multiple mentions focus on appearance, fit, and ease of use, with reviewers describing the insert as matching the look of a switch, sitting more flush to the plate, and feeling secure once installed.
What this product is for
If you have a décor wall plate with extra space, a blank insert is a simple finishing step. This Monoprice insert is sized to fit a specific opening and gives you something solid to mount where a switch or other device used to be. Common scenarios include removing a wall control (like a dedicated ceiling fan switch) and upgrading to a different control style, then needing the faceplate to look tidy again.

Installation and fit considerations

Reviews suggest the insert can sit flush and secure once installed, but that outcome depends on correct sizing and proper screw mounting.
Value verdict
If you have an extra opening on a décor wall plate, the Monoprice Blank Decor Insert is an inexpensive way to improve the look and finish. It earns its keep by being a practical alternative to more involved changes, like replacing a gang box or redoing wiring, when your only goal is to cover a leftover hole.
Price and availability
Pricing and stock can change quickly. If this is the right size for your plate opening, you will typically find it easiest to buy when inventory is available.
