Light switches are pretty plane jane. The are just plastic flip switches that pretty much every home has. Personally I like the thick flat toggles. Those of you that just have to be different now have an option. The look is like a steampunk, retro mechanical switch. They come in a variety of different styles and colors and are available from a an online store called Buster and Punch. They sell all kinds of weird fixtures and things. Check out the video of their Hero light. I think If I had that hanging in my house I would never get a date again.
I don’t know depending on your house that loft look is really in right now. A friend of mine is renovating a house and he wants to have a salvaged brick interior wall for a cool look. He wants like a really industrial look to the building he was considering urethane cement floors covering too.
