Our renovation seemed finished, but it was only with Thorn that it really came together
We'd been working on it for six months. We'd spent weeks gathering dust, making choices about everything imaginable. From the flooring to the lighting, from the handles on the kitchen cabinets to the grout color between the tiles. And when the moment arrived, we thought: now it's finished.
Until we turned on the light.
The plastic switch from the hardware store stood out against the dark wall. The click echoed through the new room. And at that moment, we knew: something wasn't right.
The detail that determines everything
Our contractor had simply done his job. The standard switches were properly connected. But they felt like an afterthought. Everything in the house had been carefully chosen. Except for that one thing you touch every day.
“If we're going for style,” my partner said,
“Why do we stop at the wall then?”
And so began our search for something we didn't even know we needed.
The discovery of Thorn
On the recommendation of an interior designer, we ended up at Thornwood . That's where we first saw Thorn's glass touch switches . Black glass, subtly illuminated. No button, no sound. Just a flat line, a touch, and an ambiance you can literally control.
We ordered for the entire ground floor:
- Black glass switches for the living room
- Dimmer panels for the kitchen and dining area
- Matching sockets for a quiet wall
The installation was simple. The impact was enormous.
What changed
Where it once felt like we were living in a beautiful house with standard details, it now felt like the house was truly ours. Everything exuded tranquility and a sense of refinement. Guests no longer ask about the kitchen, but about these switches .
“You only notice that something is annoying when you see how it could be done differently.”
And that was exactly what Thorn let us experience.
What we want to share with others
When investing in a renovation, don't forget the finishing touches. Choose not just what works, but also what's right. Switchgear isn't an afterthought. It's the detail you touch every day. Make it part of your style.
