That’s generally pretty subjective. Usually the closer to eye-level the layout is the better it looks. So consider your height, how far you can reach at that level, and working underneath the layout.
My personal preference is to start somewhere around 48″ from the floor. I’ve seen layouts anywhere from 36″ to 60″ above the floor.
