ᐅ How many electrical outlets do you usually have? Do we need to install more?

Hello everyone,
We will soon have a meeting with the electrician (I believe initially to discuss penetrations through the precast concrete slab (?)). Nevertheless, we wanted to address the topic of electrical outlets.
According to our building specification, we have a total of about 85 outlets (give or take) for approximately 190 m² (2045 sq ft).
In the children's rooms (~15 m² / 161 sq ft), for example, there are 7 outlets (1 single, 3 double) plus one outlet for telephone (LAN) and one for TV. Is that sufficient? I think my childhood bedroom only had 3 outlets (which was not ideal).
The living room has 12 outlets (plus telephone and TV), the kitchen 10 (including appliance connections), the dining area separately another 8, the bathrooms have two double outlets, and so on.
What do you usually have plugged in the living room? TV, media player, speakers, telephone, 2 cabinets with lighting, a floor lamp, 2 laptop chargers, a phone charging, vacuum cleaner, music system… you can easily reach 12 without much effort.
How much does an additional outlet typically cost? I’ve seen a wide range from €50 to €150.
Thanks for your input,
Best regards

Additionally, you can easily control network access centrally – not just by removing the adapter, which can be easily forgotten.

Well, to be honest, I don’t want to get too deeply into it, and I already have two boys at the computer age. For us, this was the better option for the kids’ room. In the living and workspaces, however, we still have direct network connections.
In the end, everyone decides for themselves what they need and what they don’t.

Sebastian7919 Jun 2015 18:30Well, that can be seen in different ways – how do you limit your children’s internet usage? Nowadays, it is definitely something to consider, as the internet can be overwhelming... I certainly would not allow my children to surf freely.
