Dr. Chris Kelson’s Orthodontist Oce
Colorful Electrical
Devices Demonstrate
Attention to Detail
and Create Unique
Look for New
Orthodontist Oce
In the business of straightening
teeth, correcting bites and perfecting
smiles, attention to detail is essential.
In fact, orthodontist Dr. Chris Kelson
would even say it’s his critical
attention to detail that sets him
apart from his peers. So it is not
surprising that he wanted to
emulate this professional attribute
while building his new dream oce
in Boise, Idaho. During the design
process, Dr. Kelson looked to
incorporate unique elements through-
out the oce that would achieve the
perfect combination of trendy and
whimsy to create an aesthetic that
grabbed the attention of his patients.
With vintage arcade machines,
learning annex and aquarium in
place, one design element stood
out in Dr. Kelson’s mind against
everything else – the outdated look
of traditional electrical outlets and
switches. Traditional electrical
outlets clashed with the modern
design elements that he had
invested time and money into and
stunted the overall atmosphere,
making his perfect space “incom-
plete.” While electrical outlets are
often viewed as a minute item – one
built from necessity over design – a
keen eye understands that even
the smallest design element like a
light switch can create a detailed
and unique space. In order to fully
embrace his dreams of a modern
oce, Dr. Kelson looked for electrical
outlets that not only fit with
modern styles, but also stood out
as a design element all on their own.
His goal was colored electrical
outlets and light switches…but he
just wasn’t sure if that was a reality.
Several online searches for colored
outlets introduced Dr. Kelson
to Renu
®
, a Leviton brand of
electrical switches, dimmers,
wallplates and receptacles. Since
the building has a simple color
palette, he was pleased to see that
Renu devices were available in 20
dierent colors. The fact that Renu
wallplates do not require screws for
installation also provided a sleek,
modern design that Dr. Kelson knew
would fit his unique design plans
perfectly. Being a Leviton brand, Dr.
Kelson also knew that he would be
purchasing quality products from a
trusted company.
Rather than selecting colors to
match his company’s logo, Dr. Kelson
opted for bright pops of color to
