When it comes to the exceptional or something unique for that special project, Hamilton is the natural choice, offering non-standard plates in a special finish or colour, made to client’s own design requirements. Using Hamilton’s bespoke design and manufacturing service, Savile Row, Hamilton can create tailor-made prototypes to a highly finished standard to show clients exactly how the interior designer’s ideas will look, and work as a custom-built electrical accessory.

Ian Hamilton, Managing Director of Hamilton says: “We are seeing a growing trend among interior designers for ‘exclusivity’, especially within the boutique hotel sector. Interiors professionals appreciate our consultative approach. Simply tell us what functionality you need, what style and finish you are leaning towards, and our in-house team of experts will design and manufacture a unique personalised solution that will match your exact requirements.”

Boutique, bronze with a touch of Boleyn
Hamilton’s numerous finishes include 4 sophisticated shades of bronze. One of which is featured in a recent ‘Boutique’ project, within Hever Castle’s luxury Bed and Breakfast accommodation – The ‘Anne Boleyn Wing’, comprising a series of 9 new suites and a breakfast room. Here Hamilton advised and fulfilled a bespoke brief. Designing and producing individual plates to meet the needs of the interior designer and the project installation.

Hever Castle Project interior designer Sarah Clark of Interiors at Nine to Eleven says: “I was initially drawn to Hamilton for its Mercury® Lighting Control system and range of stunning switch plates & sockets which perfectly suited the needs of this project. However I soon came to appreciate and value the fabulous personal service and consultative approach provided by the Hamilton Team. I know we achieved the best system we could for the space. Hamilton was outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Everyone I came in contact with gave huge attention to detail. The price was cost effective too and worked within our budget.”

Setting the mood
Mercury’s programmable multi-scene lighting control is ideal for projects that require changing ambient lighting. Control plates are available from the Hamilton collections, for that co-ordinated look.

Hamilton’s product range of high quality switch plates & sockets encompass 18 unique plate collections available in metal, plastic, wood and glass. A British company established in 1968, Hamilton Litestat has an eye for design and concern for quality within the interiors fashion industry.
