Default Be Careful...

The only dimmers that will match the color of the other plates in your villa are the ones sold by the eletcrical supply house on Rolling Acres Road that supplies TV contractors. The dimmers available at Home Depot or Lowes will not match the color of your other switches and outlets.

Dimmers are not stock items at the supply house, but they can get them in a matter of days. If I recall correctly, they cost about $20 each. They're not a big deal to install--you could easily do it yourself. I wouldn't necessarily hire an electrician just to change out switches for dimmers. Many of the 'handyman' services in TV can do this job.
