What do you call this light switch?

I have a double wall light switch. One switch turns on the overhead light and the other turns on the power outlet on the same wall. I want to change the plate and the switch to complement my decor. What do I use?Is this two-way switch or not? Thanks.

Just a 2 hole switch plate...or sometimes referred to as a double gang switch plate.

it's is just a double switch.
My hubby says yes that is a 2 way switch cover if you are changing the cover out , but if you are changing the switches out, you will need to get two single pole switches.
You will need a 2 gang Decora switch plate and two single pole decora switches.
We just call them a two gang switch plate..........you can get them all the way to 8 or more.............a friend of mine needs a diagram to go outside his house at night.......he's got 12 switches at the patio door..........I think he stands looking at the switch plate and switches longer than he does his back yard. lol........night
is there another switch at the other end of the hall which controls the light you were referring to?
It's a 2 function wall switch. Each function is a two-way switch, meaning each function controls one item.
It's properly called a 'double gang switch plate'.
