Things I never thought of...

* The perfect amount of space between a mirror and the top of a mantel is 7"

* The ideal height to hang your flat-screen TV is at eye level when you’re in viewing position. The ideal viewing distance is 1½ times the size of your flat-screen TV.

* Dining room chandeliers should hang 60” to 66” above the floor.

* Light switches are located about 36” above the floor. That way they stay out of the way of the art on your walls. Switches are about 1 ½” to 2” off the side of the door casing for the same reason.
