Arrange the switch horizontally or vertically?

Hello everyone,

we are planning to place our switches for lighting and blinds next to the doors. Since we will have several by the door, the question came up yesterday whether we should arrange the frames horizontally or vertically?
I have seen both - are there any advantages to horizontal or vertical?

How have you positioned the frames?
Thanks for your opinion.

It's a matter of taste - but I would prefer vertical. Horizontally, I only have it behind the TV and above the sofa.

Next to the door, vertical orientation can also become inconvenient to operate depending on the number.

Exactly for that reason, I wanted to ask again how others have solved it. I am assuming a 3-gang frame in some rooms (double changeover switch, 2xRaffstore partially) So we then have a 3-gang frame. Do you think the operation is more comfortable horizontally than vertically in such a case?

It's just a matter of getting used to it - I guess that over 90% of households have the switches next to the doors positioned vertically. So at first, it seems strange - you get used to everything. But I find it nicer in a parallel line to the door than opposite to it.

Thank you So, is it like this for you?

Hello,
we initially also considered positioning the switches for our roller shutters on the doors. However, among other things, we abandoned this idea again due to the number of switches on the doors. Only the central switch in the living room is located near the door.
I have to say that I am happier with it this way. Especially since I don’t have to think every time about which switch to operate for which window.

But that doesn’t seem to help you anymore.

I would also be in favor of a vertical installation of the switches. Otherwise, you quickly block some space there as well (it doesn’t always have to be cabinets). But is of course right, it’s just a matter of getting used to it.
