Dear forum members,
We are currently working on the electrical planning.
We are thinking over the following issue:
Next to the door, there will be a sideboard, on which a floor lamp will be placed. The sideboard is about 40–50 cm (16–20 inches) away from the door. Normally, sockets are installed low next to the door, but in this case, the cable would be exposed for about 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) leading toward the cabinet. Would it be best to place the socket directly behind the sideboard and use an extra-flat angled plug?
How have you handled similar situations?
Thank you in advance.

Then the question about the outlet "behind the dresser" becomes irrelevant here, since you will have to leave a visible cable anyway.Yes, you're absolutely right. If you don’t want to see any cable at all, you obviously shouldn’t be able to or want to switch the lamp off directly.
