Just installed my new Nest thermostat and was left with this ugly hole from the old one. Enter the Nest Trim Kit – total lifesaver!

The kit comes with everything you need: a trim plate, steel plate, screws, and even an installation card (though let's be real, who reads those?). The matte snow color blends perfectly with my wall and the Nest itself.

Installation took like 3 minutes – screw in the steel plate first if you're covering an electrical box, then snap on the trim plate. Boom. Looks like it was always meant to be there.

What surprised me most was how sturdy it feels. Not some flimsy plastic cover – this thing has weight to it and looks premium. My wife actually complimented how 'clean' it makes our hallway look (win!).

Only heads up: apparently some newer Nest models include this already? But for us upgrading from an ancient Honeywell, this $15 kit saved us from having to repaint or patch drywall.

Pro tip: Mount it slightly loose at first to adjust positioning before tightening fully. Made getting that perfect alignment super easy.
