Sockets and switches have long stopped being just “white plastic boxes”. The colour of the frame and rockers can make them inconspicuous or turn them into a detail that supports the style of the room. Here is how to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White: versatile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

White sockets and switches blend into white and light walls. This is the calmest option for small rooms, Scandinavian and classic interiors, as well as for rental flats where neutrality matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grey and light grey: soft and modern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grey shades look good on grey, beige and warm-toned walls, next to microcement, concrete and natural wood. On tinted walls they are less noticeable than white ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphite: deep and understated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graphite from Ultra Slim Series<\/a> suits modern interiors, loft style, dark paint colours and walnut. It is deeper than grey but softer than black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black: a graphic accent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Black sockets and switches add an accent to a light wall and echo other black details: taps, handles, curtain rails, lights. On dark walls, by contrast, black disappears. Black is available in both collections \u2014 Slim Series<\/a> and Ultra Slim Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold: a warm accent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold is available in Slim Series<\/a>. It suits neoclassical style, interiors with brass, warm wood tones and marble, as well as bedrooms and living rooms in a warm palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get the colour right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Match the wall, not the furniture.<\/strong> A socket “lives” on the wall, while furniture may change.<\/li>\n\n
  2. One colour per room.<\/strong> Within one room, it is better to keep modules and frames in one colour or in one “frame + modules” pair.<\/li>\n\n
  3. Repeat the colour in the details.<\/strong> Black switches look right if there is black somewhere else too: in lights, handles, curtain rails.<\/li>\n\n
  4. Check in daylight and evening light.<\/strong> Grey and graphite shades change depending on the lighting.<\/li>\n\n
  5. Different rooms \u2014 different colours.<\/strong> White in the hallway and black in the living room \u2014 that is fine, as long as each room is coherent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Matching or contrasting frame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A frame that matches the modules gives a seamless look, while a contrasting one makes the block stand out.
