Hey,
which location would you prefer for the electrical outlet?
In the corner on the exterior wall or next to it on the interior wall?

With the picture, his comment also makes sense, and my first response becomes unnecessary. It probably makes more sense to install one at both spotsâone next to the door and one on the left, if there is a cabinet there to place a lamp on. This way, the outlet by the window would always be free for charging a phone, etc. Iâm not sure what the room is used for. Possibly a childrenâs room? Then with a bean bag in front of the window and the phone plugged in.
There will be one anyway to the right of the window. The wall to the left of the window extends about 2.30 m (7 ft 7 in) forward.
A TV stand might go here. The "guest room" opposite has a sofa bed at the knee wall. The sofa might just fit tightly against the left wall, but the long side (chaise) would be in front of the window, facing the knee wall. The TV stand would then be placed in front of the knee wall.
Therefore, it would be more practical to have the outlets to the left of the window, so as not to block the usable space on the left wall.

An interior wall is always better!Why?

Hmm... I would have thought an exterior wall instead. So you donât lose space on the interior wall due to power outlets, LAN, or satellite sockets.Depending on the layout and how you want to arrange the furniture, you canât generally say exterior wall or interior wall.

The electrician usually doesnât like to install an outlet on the exterior wall, Iâll say it as it is.Iâve never heard that. Why wouldnât they want to do that?I would put several power outlets, LAN, and satellite sockets on the interior wall. You can make a nice TV wall out of that. Place a sideboard and drill holes at the back for the cables. Donât forget an in-wall cable duct. Donât let anyone sell you a "multimedia duct" unnecessarily. A simple duct is completely sufficient and costs less than 10⏠(around $10). You can even do it yourself in 1-2 hours with a hammer and chisel if the prices are outrageous.

Ideally, no â so you definitely need another outlet on the left wall.
A floor plan of the room would be more helpful for evaluation, by the way.
From my basic experience⊠every wall in a room should have outlets, sometimes more than one.
