@house_cat since you have toggle switches I think the OG dimmer switch is actually perfect.

Looks fine to me - we have many of these.

Ummm, I have those in my house. I am not going to change out an electical switch for "aesthetics". Your electrician must work for HGTV, where every home must be totally re-modeled every five years.

within the past few years we changed all of ours to these styles:
for me, it just provided a sleeker, less obtrusive look and they are easy to keep clean.
no right or wrong, just what you personally prefer.

We replaced all of our to the newer, modern looking ones. I like how the dimmer goes up and down instead of the knob.

Welcome to the club! I almost posted a photo but realized it was embarrassingly dirty.

Up & Down or Round & Round.....Up & Down style was installed in my kitchen 30 years ago - so it can't be the very NEW. And I find it HARDER to clean then the button one. That indented 'frame' seems to collect whatever off hands.

You can buy a pretty "knob" to replace the current one, if you want. I did that with all of mine, & they look nice. I bought some burnished brass round knobs + the same color metal wallplate. It's updated, & I like it!
I was going to post the same thing. Just go to someplace like Home Depot and get a new cover and know to update it.

I think it looks fine. I have a few of those on my walls. I refer to them as the "charm" of the home. I still like dimmer switches in the formal dining room, master bedroom and family room.
