Jason Ng, MK Electric MarketingCommunications Specialist, discusses howelectrical accessories can really contribute insetting the tone of an interior space.“There has never been a better time to design forinteriors. A review of statistics from Haskel andPesole notes that businesses in the UnitedKingdom are investing up to £35 billion a year ondesign and that design-intensive industries areemploying up to 350,000 people with many moreworkers in design-related roles.“Designers are talking about ‘new luxury’;creating spaces that elicit special feelings,experiences and memories for clients. Thisdiffers from ‘old luxury’ which was more aboutthe products themselves, and the expensivebrands. ‘New luxury’ demands that electricalaccessories contribute to a room’s overallaesthetic impact.“Ranges like MK Electric’s new ElementsCollection of wiring accessories equip designerswith a palette of colours and textures. Dimmersand sockets can now take on the appearance ofstone, wood, hide or ceramics to complement orcontrast with their surroundings. It’s this sort ofattention to detail that high-end designers arelooking for to create a space that they can trulyclaim is unique.“Hand-in-hand with the designer’s quest to
create something individual is the user’sexpectation of the latest in technology, a demandexperienced in both the luxury hotel andresidential sectors. Specifiers are looking forfunctionality, which is high-tech but alsoinstinctive, such as MK’s new touch technologyfor on-off switching and dimming functions.“These are exciting times for interior design
globally. Electrical accessories are a small part,but an important one: that first touch of a switchcan set the tone for the whole room experience.”
