Practical Bedroom Switchboard Placement Guide by Pressfit Electricals

Designing the right switchboard layout for your bedroom can significantly enhance comfort and convenience. The right height, placement, and choice of switches make it easier to control lighting, fans, and other devices. Here’s a quick guide to help you plan your bedroom switchboard effectively.

1. Main Switchboard
   Place your main switchboard near the door, about 36″ to 42″ from the floor. This makes it easy to turn lights on as soon as you enter. A two-way switch system will let you control the main lights both from the door and your bedside.
   Tip: A two-way switch system is perfect for larger rooms, saving you trips across the room.
