Interiors experts Alisa and Lysandra Fraser have just completed brand new homes, sharing the journey in their online show “The Design Duo: Twin vs Twin”, where the sisters competed in each episode to see who could create the best rooms. One thing the pair agreed on from the outset? Choosing PDL for their switches and power points, smart home system and security.

Distinctly different styles

While the townhouses look exactly the same from the outside, the moment you step through the front door of each home the twins’ distinctly individual style is apparent.

Alisa’s home has a bright, light aesthetic in cream and white tones. She chose PDL Iconic Essence in Arctic White for her home. Its clean white finish complements her colour palette, the rounded edges echo the curves in her styling, and the birch trim adds a complementary natural texture. The Iconic Essence range has a variety of additional options and Alisa chose power points with USB chargers for her butler’s pantry and home office so devices can be charged easily, and bedside switches with dimmers for simple control of lights.

Next door, the scene is set for Lysandra’s bold style with the dark timbered flooring and staircase of the entranceway reflected in a huge bronze segmented mirror wall leading visitors into the kitchen and living area. Lysandra selected PDL Iconic Styl for her switches and power points. The dark metallic finish of Silver Shadow is the ideal partner for the moodier textures and a striking contrast against white walls in other areas. In the master bedroom, Iconic Styl in the lighter Crowne shade sits beautifully against the marbled bedhead. An Iconic Styl motion sensor switch at the foot of her staircase triggers tread lights automatically.

Smarter homes with Wiser

PDL Wiser provided the smart finishing touches. PDL Iconic switches link easily with the Wiser system, and using Wiser Connected Smart Sockets means other appliances like side lamps, gaming consoles or even heated towel rails can be added and controlled with the Wiser by SE smart device app too.

The sisters also chose Wiser cameras and sensors for added security and peace of mind. Wiser Outdoor IP Cameras were installed at the front doors and in the back gardens. Linked to the Wiser by SE app, they offer viewing on your phone from wherever you are and have an intercom, HD night and day video recording, and motion detection.
