£45
This finish is made to change and age with wear, making each switch unique, differing from batch to batch. We strongly advise ordering items for the same room together to ensure consistency. If fitted to plastered walls, there is a chance the dampness will encourage the finish of this switch to corrode.
A hand-finished switch that gives layered lighting a darker, more characterful architectural edge.
At a glance
A Blackened Steel double rocker switch makes layered lighting feel more intentional and materially rich. Designed to control two circuits from one plate, it combines everyday practicality with a hand-finished darkened steel surface that brings depth, texture and a quietly established feel to the wall.
The feeling Blackened Steel brings a more grounded, characterful kind of contrast. It feels darker and more architectural than softer metallics, but with a richness and timeworn quality that stops it feeling harsh or overly minimal.
Where it works best A 2 gang rocker switch is ideal where two lighting circuits need controlling from one point, such as kitchen pendants and spotlights, bedroom ceiling and bedside lighting, or layered living room schemes. The finish works beautifully with plaster tones, natural stone, timber and aged metal accents.
Why it works Combining two switches on one plate keeps the wall looking cleaner and more resolved. The hand-finished Blackened Steel surface adds depth and authenticity, helping a practical fitting feel like part of the room’s architecture rather than an afterthought.
The design detail Hand-finished in-house, the darkened steel surface gives the switch a timeworn, industrial heritage feel with a more nuanced character than standard matt black. It feels aged, established and tactile without looking overly distressed.
How to style it Use Blackened Steel with antique brass or bronze hardware, fluted glass lighting, warm plaster walls, oak joinery and darker stone to create a layered interior with a subtle industrial edge.
