I have a backsplash that I am going to tile. I have 3 light switches in one box but are no longer needed. (One goes outside to a light that isn't used and will be replaced, another is to a light that is no longer there and another is a 3 way that we don't want). Is there a metal wall plate that will cover that? Can I put wire nuts and tape them up and cover it?

The light outside the door is required by code.

The junction box must remain permanently accessible and cannot be buried.

Home Dopot, and similar, sells a line of "decorative" trim plates. Check with their suppliers to see if they do, or can, make a "nice" 3-gang cover plate, that agrees with your decor.
