With over 20-years in the interior design industry, we’ve tried all kinds of methods to add luxury to our client’s spaces, from crystal chandeliers to cozy cashmere-like fabrics. What we’ve learned is that less is more and quality is the answer. When looking to add a touch of elegance to a design, instead of finding the fabric with the highest thread count or the kitchen surface with the purest marble, we’ve instead looked to accents and accessories. Don’t get us wrong, foundational pieces like the perfect sofa and headboard are essential to good design, but accents and accessories make or break the aesthetic.
One of our new favorite ways to add a touch of luxe? Light switches. Yep, you read that right. Wall plates are the new table trays, and our favorite resource is Legrand, particularly their adorne collection. The adorne collection makes life simply beautiful. It starts with stylish light switches, dimmers, outlets, and wall plates that merge an awe-inspiring array of finishes with a wow factor that’s easy to get used to. After using their products in our own projects we can definitely say that adorne has made it a delight to hit the lights.
Even better than their beautiful product is the simplicity of the process. We’re the type of design team that likes to work smart, and Legrand is a brand that totally embodies that thought process. First, you pick a device. Either a whisper switch, outlet, or half-size USB (perfect for charging your phone while applying makeup). Next, pick a wall plate. The adorne collection has 1-gang, 2-gang, and 1gang+, aka a collection that will definitely fit all of your light switch needs. Lastly, combine and enjoy!
Their collection doesn’t stop there either. Need a savvy light switch? They’ve got that. What about under-cabinet lighting? Check and check. Can’t seem to find Wi-Fi lighting options? Look no further. We mean it when we say we are #obsessed with this product! Check out pictures below to see how we’ve installed Legrand’s wall plates and switches in our most recent client project.
