light switch location

We are having a two storey extension built and can’t decide where the light switch should go in the new bedroom. We’d like a wardrobe in the location I’ve marked in red so I guess the light switch has to go after the door on the right hand wall as you walk in? Is that the most logical in your opinion? Many thanks for you help!

light switches and sockets - anyone else ok with white
Comments (22)We are having a mixture. Brushed steel in the kitchen to go with the appliances, as they are quite visible at worktop height or in the sides of the island. White flat plate in the hall and drawing room. White plastic upstairs. I agree that it’s better to get white plastic from a reputable supplier which won’t go wrong, than a cheap metal socket or switch which looks the part but will give up within a year, or be a nightmare to fit. Also bear in mind the flat plate ones require a deeper back box (35mm) so if you already have standard 25mm ones you won’t have the flat plate option....See MoreWhat colour light switch plates?

Comments (17)Motion sensors have a minimum energy consumption, depending on the type of motion sensor some of them may use about a watt of energy on standby mode (23 hours a day) and 5 watts on active mode (about an hour a day), so they are energy efficient if they are installed in medium-to-low traffic rooms, like closest, bathrooms, storage rooms, etc.. I would not suggest to use it for a heavy traffic room like the living room. Since the question here was referring to a bathroom in my opinion this is a viable option....See MoreDoor reconfiguration in medium sized flat
Comments (11)Hi, I would check with buildings regs first, but there is also the possibility of going open plan too. By combining the living room and kitchen you would have a spacious living area with room for a decent sized island with bar stool seating and lots more storage. Depending on how the communal area is laid out there is also the possibility pushing back the bathroom wall, installing a sliding door and then bringing the front door to the left wall. That will give you both easy access to the living/kitchen area and space for guests to take off shoes before entering the living area....See MoreJonathan
