I’d like to get nice sockets in our refurb - does anyone know a good supplier? I’ve tried to attach a pic of the kind of one I’d like.

Oooh, marking my place as I also need to order sockets and switch plates soon...

thank you @meloncolic for starting this very useful thread

@Ribb I was thinking matt black too, feels a bit out there on one hand but on the other makes sense. I've been debating about matt switches but I have wallpaper in some rooms so though clear would be better

I will have skirting to match whatever wall colour I've done

I took a punt on these and am so pleased with them. Simple, elegant and smart enabled do they can be used just as normal and can be turned on/off remotely with an app.

We also have the matching light switches.

I just love them.

@locak ive got wallpaper in the switch in my dining area. Let me see if I can find a pic. I'm not at home or even in the country so if I can't find on my phone I'll upload one on Saturday!
It's so hard to know. I took a gamble and it's worked out. My walls with the clear switches are F&B blackened so a very light grey off white. I'm not convinced that I needed the clear switches there but they still look good.

Ah, forgot the link. Sorry

@locak it's really dark so you won't get the full idea but you can kind of see the clear with a sample of wallpaper in to match the wall........(just before the wall had been finished hence the missing piece on the wall!)

Screwfix have a very wide range and the more you buy the bigger the discount. They do matching light switches and TV Ariel socket too.

@Ribb that room looks great! ! thank you.

I was wondering whether to not use clear in the painted rooms but probably best for cohesion to all be the same.

Ribb · 02/06/2022 21:31

@locak i think cohesion is the key of you want a holistic consistent feel.
Update when you've decided!

TLC and screwfix are cheapest in our experience.
