The Value & The Costs of
Custom Light Switches
The Value
Custom light switches can enhance the overall aesthetic of the interiors of your home, while providing smart solutions for comfortable, safe, and efficient living.
Rather than the standard plastic on/off switches of the past, custom light switches are becoming increasingly common in well designed homes that value the details.
From handmade light switches that utilize materials found elsewhere in the home, to switches that are programmed to control entire wings of the house, these new products can enhance the aesthetic and function of your daily life.
Save time and energy by scheduling lights to fit your routine, or even make use of sensors and timers that turn the lights off for you. Opt for hands-free switches in areas where you could use a free hand, such as kitchens or bathrooms. You can also enjoy added convenience in your hallways with switches with built-in night lights. Fully integrating lighting with other custom electric options, such as USB ports for charging or control of window coverings, is also available.
The Costs
Custom light switches can elevate the look and functionality of your home. Often, they are made from high quality materials with luxury finishes, and some switches may even be assembled by hand.
Custom light switches with additional features may also require specialized installation and will likely be integrated into larger smart home systems, which will add additional costs to the project.
However, if the upgraded light switches are purely an aesthetic choice, the cost will likely be rather insignificant. Even though the high-end light switches can be up to 10x more expensive than standard switches, this will still have a minimal impact on the home’s total construction costs. Since the number of custom light switches in your home will also contribute to pricing, we often recommend them in highly trafficked areas of the home or on walls with specialty materials to enhance your overall experience in the home.
