How we made our home feel more luxurious in one weekend with Thornwood
We sat at the kitchen table, looked around and said it at the same time:
“It's beautiful… but it doesn't feel finished yet.”
We'd just had new window treatments installed. Oak flooring laid. The walls freshly painted. Everything was perfect—until you got to the light fixture. Because there it was: the white plastic switch from the last century.
That weekend we decided to do things differently. And we discovered what a single detail can do for your entire home.
What We Changed – and Why It Mattered So Much
We replaced our old switches and dimmers with glass touch models from Thorn , through Thornwood . No renovations. No installer. Just did it ourselves. In one afternoon.
What immediately stood out:
-
The whole space looked tighter
-
The walls got rest
-
It felt more luxurious – like we were in a boutique hotel
And best of all: the service was even better than the appearance.
Why this small upgrade felt big
|
Formerly |
Now |
|---|---|
|
Clicking sound at every switch |
Silent touch control |
|
Different styles throughout the house |
One style, multiple glass colors |
|
Plastic edges and visible wear |
Shiny glass that continues to shine |
|
Practical, but visibly old-fashioned |
Modern, subtle and stylish |
We chose black glass for the living room, champagne glass for the bedroom, and white glass for the hallway. Everything was delivered within 48 hours. Everything was replaced in a single weekend.
It felt like we weren't doing something technical, but something aesthetic.
As if we weren't buying switching equipment, but a feeling.
Why you can do this on the weekend
-
Fits standard flush-mounted boxes
-
Installation is easy (even for non-DIYers)
-
Immediately noticeable in appearance and use
-
Provides peace of mind and comfort in everyday life
What started as "let's do that too" became one of the most valuable changes in the house. No new furniture. No extra decorations. Just a better foundation.
Thorn switching equipment via Thornwood: small gesture, big effect
Since then we tell it to everyone who talks about interior design:
“If you only want to improve one thing about your home, start here.”
“You feel the difference every day.”
