Why the lighting in your living room is often just not right (and how Thorn solves that)
The living room is the heart of the home. You entertain friends there, watch movies, read a book, and sometimes even eat at the coffee table. It's a multifunctional space. But strangely enough, the lighting in that room is often... disappointing.
Too bright. Too cold. No atmosphere. And always the same light – regardless of the moment.
Sound familiar? We thought it was our lights.
Until we discovered it was actually our switches.
The biggest mistake we made (and that many people make)
When designing our home, we considered everything: colors, furniture, flooring, window treatments. We even chose a zoned lighting plan. But the controls? We left that to the standard white switches from the hardware store.
The result?
- 
Fine during the day 
- 
Too bright in the evening 
- 
Annoying during a movie 
- 
Completely lacking atmosphere when visiting 
The lights were fine. The wiring was wrong.
How one adjustment changed everything
We came into contact with Thornwood through an acquaintance. There we saw Thorn's smart touch dimmers .
Glass controls in black, white, or champagne. No turning, no clicking. Just touch. And dim.
We replaced the standard switch in the living room with a Thorn dimmer and immediately noticed the difference:
- 
The lighting felt calmer 
- 
The service was smooth 
- 
The appearance of the room became more refined 
As if we were finally beginning to truly understand our living room.
What makes the Thorn dimmer different?
| Aspect | Regular switch | Thorn touch dimmer | 
|---|---|---|
| Operation | On or off | Infinitely variable dimming via touch | 
| Sound | Click to switch | Silent operation | 
| Appearance | Plastic, visible | Glass, sleek and stylish | 
| Realm | Variable, often too bright | Adjustable per moment | 
| Smart | Not possible | With app, schedule or voice control | 
From frustration to comfort – every day again
Since we switched, we use lighting more consciously.
In the evening, we dim the lights automatically. While reading, we turn up the lights a bit. When you have visitors, we create a warm atmosphere with a single touch.
And the best part? The dimmer now matches our style, instead of interrupting it.
Do you also want the lighting in your living room to be just right?
