Hire a professional- get it right the First time!
Location of Electrical Switches
When installing light switches carefully consider the locations of them. You don’t want them installed behind doors. You want them to be intuitively located when walking into the room. Usually you will want to place them within arm reach of the doorway at a height of 48 inches or so off of the floor.
Also consider 3-way switches, which means you can turn the light off at two locations within the room. This is particularly helpful if there are two ways of egress from the room. Don’t forgo this type of switch, if your wiring your own home or room, just because it seems too complicated. You will regret your decision over an over. A 3-way switch is not too complicated. It just requires the right type of switches (two 3-way switches) and reading the wiring instructions in the 3-way switch packaging. You can also find instructions online
