Once overlooked as purely practical items, wiring accessories are now stepping into the spotlight as an important part of interior design. IEW stocks Scolmore’s latest aesthetically pleasing wiring accessories. Read on to find out why and how these everyday essentials now integrate into the design of your space as a whole.
From utility to design feature
The traditional white plastic switch may still dominate the market in volume – Click Scolmore’s Mode range of white moulded wiring accessories remains the company’s best-selling range – but demand for stylish alternatives has grown rapidly. Interior designers, architects and homeowners now view wiring accessories as an integral part of the overall interior design scheme. Matte finishes, metallic tones, and screwless faceplates are trending as homeowners look for premium finishes that complement modern interiors.
Balancing aesthetics with performance
The shift is being driven not only by designers but also by a new generation of consumers who are highly attuned to detail. In an era when social media showcases every corner of a home, people are more aware of the small touches that elevate interior spaces. Wiring accessories, once ignored, now play a role in creating a premium, polished environment.
While appearance is becoming increasingly important, performance remains paramount. Installers must continue to ensure compliance with safety standards, ease of installation, and reliability. The most successful products are those that deliver both – combining modern aesthetics with robust engineering.
Powering style and technology
As wiring accessories have evolved from purely functional items to design-led features, the next frontier is integrating smart, future-ready technology without compromising aesthetics. Click Scolmore’s latest innovation – the 13A 1 and 2 Gang Safety Shutter Socket Outlets featuring twin USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) ports – exemplifies this approach. These sockets combine cutting-edge fast-charging capability with the same high-quality finishes and design-led philosophy seen across Click Scolmore’s Deco, Deco Plus, and Definity ranges.
By incorporating USB-C PD, the new outlets address the growing demand for connected, technology-driven spaces. Users can charge smartphones, tablets, and laptops quickly and safely, while designers and homeowners benefit from a sleek, integrated look that complements any interior. Investing in these modern sockets ensures a future-proof solution for the devices of today – and tomorrow – without sacrificing elegance, functionality, or safety.
Benefits of USB-C Power Delivery
USB Power Delivery (PD) is an advanced, fast charging technology supporting a wide range of devices. It can charge smartphones and tablets up to 70% faster than a standard 5W USB charger. With universal adoption of USB-C PD, users can connect multiple devices without compatibility concerns.
Key features include:
- PD20W – fast charging 20W USB Power Delivery.
- 3A independent charging per port
- 4.2A shared output – intelligent chip adjusts output to connected devices.
- Twin type C ports – ideal for multiple devices.
- Three pin safety shutters – enhanced protection
- Easy retro fit – replaces standard or USB sockets without the need for a deeper back box.
The new Twin Type C USB Sockets are available across Click Scolmore’s extensive portfolio, including Deco, Deco Plus, Define, Definity, Mode, Part M, Polar, Metal Clad, and Metal Clad Pro, providing a consistent solution for every installation style and environment.
Design meets performance
The evolution of wiring accessories demonstrates that function and style are no longer mutually exclusive. From sophisticated matt black and bronze finishes to the latest USB-C fast charging technology, modern wiring accessories combine performance, safety, and design in a single solution.
For homeowners and designers, these products elevate interiors, create a polished, connected environment, and future-proof spaces for the devices of today – and tomorrow. For contractors and wholesalers, they offer tangible benefits as well: simplified installation, universal compatibility, and a product range that meets the growing demand for stylish, high-performance solutions.
