Yes, Decora-style rectangular block outlets generally cost slightly more than traditional legacy duplex receptacles, though the price difference for standard residential-grade versions is minimal (typically ranging from $2 to $5 per outlet compared to $1 to $2 for traditional styles). However, scaling up to heavy-duty commercial specification-grade Decora outlets or specialized tamper-resistant and USB-integrated variants increases the cost significantly. The slight price premium is widely considered worthwhile for the clean, modern architectural aesthetic they bring to a home. Verification: Compare retail pricing tags at home improvement centers across standard duplex and Decora receptacle options to evaluate your total project budget.
