Hello,
I am currently planning the furniture, electrical outlets, and light switches on our floor plan. My wife thinks we should already plan for larger beds (1.60 m (5 feet 3 inches) wide) or even set up with those right away (children: one is 3 years old; another one planned).
What do you think about this? Does it make sense to plan for a large youth/adult bed for children? For me, a bigger bed leads to more complicated room layouts, and it also takes away valuable floor space for playing, which is especially important for young children.
The rooms are each 3.80 m by 4 m (12.5 feet by 13 feet), about 15 square meters (160 square feet).
A 1.6 m by 2 m (5 feet 3 inches by 6 feet 7 inches) bed takes up 3.2 square meters (34 square feet). A 0.9 m by 2 m (3 feet by 6 feet 7 inches) bed takes up 1.8 square meters (19 square feet). That’s almost a 1.5 square meter (16 square feet) difference...

In every corner of the room, there is a triple socket outlet, so you end up with 12. That doesn’t seem excessive to me.
We also have network connections in the kids’ rooms, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they never get used since they don’t really match the devices or how they use them.
We decided against using switched outlets in the kids’ rooms as well. The furniture arrangement is too unpredictable, and there are bedside lamps anyway.

If the cost difference between installing a single, double, or triple socket is negligible, I would go for the triple. Otherwise, I believe that fewer sockets are sufficient in a child's bedroom. From what I understand so far, these "small details" are often a major cost driver.
Well, we have two locations with LAN and triple sockets for PC/TV. Then a few double and single sockets spread around the room. We’ve only been living in the house for three months and have already rearranged the children’s room once. But since there’s no PC or TV there yet, it’s not a big deal!
Don’t underestimate the LAN sockets in the children’s rooms!
As soon as the first PlayStation or gaming PC is set up, the LAN connection will be chosen because it offers a significantly better ping! It doesn’t matter whether the devices have Wi-Fi or not...
Just because parents may think LAN sockets in children’s or teenagers’ rooms are unnecessary, it doesn’t automatically mean that’s true...

Good joke, the industry earns more than Hollywood. Recently, I was at GameStop, and it was full of girls! That didn’t happen in my time, a completely new group of buyers.
The next emerging trend is game streaming. This is even more susceptible to latency. A LAN connection is a must-have!
Everyone around 13-14 years old had a 1.40m (4 feet 7 inches) bed where I come from. Quite normal in my opinion.
