Selecting Light Switches For Your Home

When you’re building or renovating a home, it feels like there are about a gazillion different choices for every aspect. From deciding on your home design right down to selecting your interior colour scheme. Whilst that can seem overwhelming, it’s also pretty amazing. Gone are the days when all houses looked the same; now the walls you live in can reflect you from the style of your kitchen to the colour of your skirting boards, and the finesse of your light switches.

 Just as beautiful cabinetry deserves a worthy set of latches, knobs or handles, the same is true of your carefully chosen light fittings and lighting. A crystal chandelier has far more merit than a mere plastic rectangle on a wall, and the finer touches shouldn’t stop there. Your home deserves the best throughout, and a little bit of attention to the smaller details goes a long way.

Cast your mind back to the last switch you turned on; chances are, if you’re in a standard Australian home, you flicked a small button on a white plastic back board, that may, or may not have been painted to compliment the wall colour, depending on your home. Your power points are probably very similar, as well as your tv connection point. Granted, they do the job, but they aren’t adding any extra value or luxury to your home. With the options available in light switches these days, there’s no reason to not have beautiful finishes in every corner of your home.

It’s this belief in the beauty and affordability of home details that makes Luminosa the first stop in light switch options. Luminosa does not do ordinary, and have designed a beautiful range of light switches, dimmers and data points for those who don’t do ordinary either

Instead of everyday, white, plastic light switches, the Luminosa range features actual glass switches, guaranteed to add extra class to your lighting needs; after all there’s no point in having beautiful lighting with ordinary switches when you can have both. There’s a colour option to suit your decor, and the toughened glass faceplates have an anti-fingerprint protective coating which makes maintenance a breeze and keeps your switches looking swish.

When building, it can seem a daunting task to select the right light switches for your home. It can seem even trickier when renovating, as the electrical work has already been done, and we all know how tricky that is to work with. Important factors such as how many devices each switch controls, or how many switches control a device need to be considered. Your electrician will be able to help you discover if your lights and fans are single pole, three way, double switch or a dimmer, so you know exactly which switch you need, and then you can go from there. The great news is, that Luminosa’s Australian range will fit neatly where your previous light switch used to live, so adding an instant touch of class to your home has never been easier.

For those building, and looking for a slightly different look, the European range adds the latest in international class to your home. In both cases, the extensive Luminosa range will cover all your switch needs, from just the one to six switches, as well as a matching luxurious range of power points, usb portals, dimmer and fan switches.
