The Perfect Fit for Colour Drenching
Colour Drenching is a long-standing interior design trend gaining huge popularity. A bold, immersive approach to decorating where the entire room is painted in a single, unified colour. Walls, ceiling, skirting boards and doors are all coated in the same shade to create a serene, enveloping environment.
If you are looking to incorporate colour drenching into your home, our Paintable Range of switches & sockets are the perfect choice allowing walls and details to blend together in harmony.

Easy Application for a Custom Finish
For the best results, we recommend spray painting the primed white plates for a smoother finish. However, you can also apply paint with a brush or roller. Any high-quality paint can be used on the primed surface, allowing you to create a truly unique finish that complements your interior perfectly.
