subject: Light Switches That Add A Touch Of Class To Any Home [print this page] Home lighting and light switches made from nickel, brass, chrome, or with a black finish add a touch of style, elegance, and panache to any home, regardless of its age and type. Old country houses and rural cottages, modern loft apartments or suburban townhouses all can enjoy a bit of a touch-up from time to time. Walk into any old house and the light switches are seldom given a second thought yet, like the backsplash tiles in the kitchen, they can make the difference between bland or boring and spicy and vibrant.
Of course, getting the lighting, switches, and sockets just "so" is probably way down the priority list of most homeowners. After all, lighting is just a functional element in the home, only given consideration perhaps when the homeowner is looking to buy an occasional lamp Then, occasional lamps tend to be chosen to match the dcor at least the furniture style and colours. That's probably the only time a great deal of thought is given to making the right choice, possibly because at that point the lamp is regarded more as a furnishing accessory than merely a source of light.
Flat-plate switches, raised-plate switches, and stepped-plate switches are just three of the many types of regular on/off switches one can buy for lighting control; also available are multi-switch panels, some including dimmer-switch mechanisms. Finished in several different materials, they give you a wide choice, indeed; dont settle for plain white moulded plastic switch panels.
Matching the ceiling lighting in your home to the dcor style or colour can be enhanced no end by installing pendant lights, multi-directional lights or flush-fitting multi arrays; rather than attempting to get an exact match, it is sometimes better to have lights and fittings that harmonise with the entire decoration style.
Bottom line, light switches and lighting shouldnt be left as afterthought. Significant thought should be given to the style, colour, and materials from which lights and switches are made and how they are placed. It wouldnt do to leave the tiles in your bathroom to a last-minute decision or a lets stick with boring old white decision when it's probably taken lots of time and effort to get the rest of the bathroom accessories and decoration right.
