A curated range of neutral-coloured dimmer switches, rocker switches and sockets is now available at home decor brand and retailer Dowsing & Reynolds.

 

The range is aimed especially at people who are using earthy, tonal colours in their interiors and are making design choices that make them feel grounded in and comforted by their homes.
 

With product names inspired by cafe culture, the collection provides three understated alternatives to standard white plastic or metallic finishes. The three shades are Cinnamon, Whipped Cream and Caramel Latte - recognisable for their attractive smells and colour palettes. 

 

Co-owners Ally and James Dowsing-Reynolds understand the effect the home can have on our mood, so it’s with this in mind that they decided to launch the collection. Ally explained, “Recent times have led us to search for ways to feel more grounded and create safe spaces at home, and that’s what we hope to inspire with our new collection. 

 

“Neutral, earthy colour palettes are big for 2021 but beautiful switches and sockets to complement these can be hard to find. Not everyone wants white plastic or luxurious metallic switches that can sometimes jar with soft, neutral wall colours. 

 

“Coffee shops are places to retreat from the world for a while, they give us a chance to relax and recharge and we’re so looking forward to being in them again, having lovely chats with friends! You can’t help but feel relaxed when you walk in and get a delicious waft of coffee and pastries, so we wanted to recreate a little bit of that feeling with fixtures in the home.

 

“We designed the range for those people who want their switches and sockets to complement their neutral interior rather than stand out against it.”  

 

The three colours blend and tone harmoniously with warm neutral palettes of paint colours, including Brave Ground™, Dulux’s colour of the year 2021.
