Hamilton Litestat: Inspired by nature

Hamilton Litestat explains how to perfect finishing touches for interiors to capture the spirit of natural surroundings…

Interior design trends come and go, but one reoccurring theme that always feels fresh is interiors inspired by nature. Bringing the natural world inside has an energising effect, while also bringing a wholesome feeling of calm that is particularly important for today’s focus on self-care.

Currently, the botanicals trend is particularly prominent, while some boutique hotels are being inspired by the landscapes within their local vicinity. Whichever way the outside is brought inside – natural or faux plants, wall hangings, soft furnishings or accessories with botanical or nature-inspired prints – Hamilton Litestat is offering a selection of carefully crafted wiring accessories that perfectly complement natural themes.

 When striking wall finishes showing bold leaves and flowers shouldn’t be interrupted, Hamilton’s Perception CFX is the perfect choice. The clear plate allows your selection of wallpaper to be inserted resulting in an almost-invisible finish. The contemporary switch plate has eight insert designs and concealed fixings to make it disappear and allow the wall covering to take centre stage, such as the ATADesigns.com bold wallpaper, Kews Dramatic Roses in green.

Alternatively, Hamilton’s Paintable range allows you to pick a colour from the wallpaper, or even a contrasting hue from the room’s soft furnishings, and have the switch plates painted to exactly match. These can be pre-painted by Hamilton ahead of installation or can be primed ready to paint on site. This option is available in the stylish Hartland CFX and Sheer CFX designs.

One hotel inspired by its local area is Hotel Indigo Cardiff, a 122-room boutique hotel designed by Matthews Mee Interior Design to evoke classic Welsh heritage. The greatest attention has been paid to crafting unique spaces throughout the hotel that reflect the history and vibrancy of the Welsh capital.Hamilton’s Hartland collection of box-fix decorative wiring accessories was nominated as the perfect match for the interior design theme. In the 72 ‘Made in Wales’ rooms and the 31 ‘Welsh Industry’ rooms, the decorative accessories were finished in Matt Black with Copper switches and Matt Black inserts. Meanwhile, the 19 ‘Music’ rooms feature Hartland products finished in Antique Brass with Antique Brass switches and Black inserts. All bathrooms are fitted with Hartland plates finished in Satin Steel with White inserts.

Whether the look is lush green jungle or inspired by the diverse colours of the Welsh hills, Hamilton offers a variety of decorative wiring solutions that will perfectly complement and complete the look.
