Easy-to-Reach Switches

Appropriate placement is key to ensure that light switches are easy to reach. Consider aligning them with the same height as door handles. If switches are in areas with counters, make sure they’re easy to reach while seated, typically in the range of 36-42″ above the floor and not against the far wall.
