The above answer is a cop out!
As a decorator, I'm often asked to advise on what things would/will look like, by people who genuinely do not know. My advice is based on aesthetic principles to do with colour, finish, light and space.
In the end, of course it is up to the customer and I have on occasions had to apply colours and finishes which I think/know look naff. But I know enough about domestic architecture and colours and materials, to be able to recommend schemes which I know will look good. In my experience, good joiners have an equally good sense of where form meets function.
It seems to me that many electricians do not (if the answers on this thread and the positioning of the circuit board in the house I'm currently decorating is anything to go by...)
