OK, so there’s really no magic to horizontal or vertical receptacles; it’s just about preference. That said, WHOSE preference is it? DIYers have it easy in this category, but pros need to be mindful of homeowner or general contractor plans in order to make an educated choice that will match the rest of the aesthetic in a space.
