"how do you account for outlets and light switches on the walls?"

I know this is the hillbilly way but I cut the piece to fit wall space.
Then I put butter on the outlet or switch hole make sure you
got enough to stick to the matting when your put cut piece to the wall.
Now place cut piece to the wall to mark outlet.
Pull cut piece back and the butter stain will show you where to cut.
Cut hole smaller than mark so that you can get it just right when you put up matting.
I'm sure some people just feel for the outlets and cut out hole after matting is up.
Or you could measure twice and cut once. But I could never get this one right.
Good luck!!!
