Switches and Sockets

✨️ New product ✨️ Single hotel key card switch ✨️⁠
This one's for all the hoteliers, developers and interior designers out there... ⁠ ⁠ We’ve launched a key card switch for hotel rooms and aparthotels in Europe (but not the UK). 🏨⁠ ⁠ It comes in our three metal finishes as well as our clear polycarbonate option, so you can coordinate it with our other architectural details – or blend it into the wall for a more discreet look. ⁠
Are you a fan of discreet interior details that blend right in? 💫⁠ ⁠
Our ready-primed paintable switches and sockets will suit you to a tee, because the only thing you’ll really see are the solid brass controls in bronze, antique brass or polished nickel. ⁠ ⁠ Discover the complete paintable UK range online today. 🖌️🎨⁠
Discover our complete European collection online at eu.corston.com. 📱💻️⁠
We think your switches and sockets should sit seamlessly on your walls, which is why our flush-fitting front plates are just 1.5mm thick. 💫⁠ ⁠ The plates are made from solid brass (rest assured, all our switches and sockets safely comply with IECEE standards) to create perfectly clean and crisp edges.⁠
✨ New product ✨ Vertical UK toggle switches ✨⁠
We’ve paired our timeless toggle design with vertical plates to offer a look that’s a little different and a little more flexible (they can fit narrower spaces than horizontal multi-gang plates).⁠ ⁠ Choose from two-gang and four-gang variants in our three metal finishes and our clear and paintable options. 📱💻️⁠
✨ New article ✨ At home with Paul and Déborah Barnier ✨⁠
Online content creators @paulbarnier and @deborah_hbr have transformed a disused barn into a tranquil, contemporary home in the French countryside. 🇫🇷🌳⁠ ⁠ The couple have used our switches, sockets and hardware throughout their project, so we headed to Toulouse to see the (almost) finished result. ⁠ ⁠ We’ve captured their inspirational home – and our chat with the couple – on film. To watch the video and read the highlights, follow the link.

As well as bringing in more light and framing the views throughout her home, @ruthcrilly focused her attention on establishing a sense of cohesion with the materials and textures she chose for her recent renovation project. ⁠ ⁠ One of those materials is our very own solid brass, finished in our deep, dark, low-sheen Bronze. 🖤⁠
In our latest video interview, we hear from online content creator @ruthcrilly. ⁠
Ruth’s certainly no stranger to renovation projects, and for this one – the family’s forever home – quality, beauty and utility were key. ⁠ ⁠ Follow the link to watch the interview and see more of Ruth’s home (and Mr Bear, the starring cat) for yourself.

‘The Bronze is pared back and sophisticated'
When we spoke to Laura Logan of @house_of_logan recently, she told us that it was crucial the switches, sockets and hardware she chose for her home aligned with its overall aesthetic. Click the link to read the full article:
Incorporate our Polished Nickel finish to create a softer, more feminine look.
Today we’re visiting the second of two apartments recently designed by @taragreenwold. ‘I envisaged a light, bright and fresh space. I used lots of mirrors, as well as a mirrored kitchen splashback. The bright, reflective nature of the Polished Nickel finish really complemented this approach. It’s nice to have a neutral tone that’s warmer than chrome too.’⁠

We spent some time with Laura Logan of @house_of_logan to find out about her Victorian renovation project in London’s East End. ⁠ ⁠ If you’re a lover of traditional-meets-modern design projects, this one’s for you. Just follow the link to see and read more.
Bronze
Not long ago, Tara completed the interiors for two apartments in the same building. Each one used our products, yet each featured a different finish. ⁠ ⁠ Bronze was one of the two finishes chosen, and we asked Tara why:⁠ ⁠ ‘I imagined this apartment to be quite a masculine space. I used Bronze because the finish is more contemporary, which worked with the moody and modern look and feel I was going for.’ ⁠
Our flush-fit solid brass switch and socket front plates won’t spoil the scene.
So, whether you’re restoring a period property, or creating a pared back interior like this one by Winnie Tam of @fourteen.a.m, they’re the ideal choice. ⁠ ⁠ Explore all the switches and sockets in our collection online. Photography: @edvinasbruzas⁠
