Hello everyone,
how did you approach the topic of electrical installations? How many sockets/power outlets did you plan for, and where? The homeowner has calculated a certain amount, but I believe that won’t be sufficient.

I have often noticed different behaviors between apartments and houses. I also keep realizing that my preferences change over time, even when I was previously absolutely certain about something.

An apartment and a house differ significantly, especially when it comes to electrical systems.

The need arises as you and the house or its furnishings change.

Exactly... and with prior planning, you think: Oh, look, the outlets are already there.

For example, we have completely rearranged our children’s rooms two to three times, one child even moved to another room, and soon a new bed will be added—so a full rearrangement again. Outlets were never an issue. There are plenty of them.

We have quite a minimalist / simple setup: I almost get annoyed by every unused, visible outlet. Well, one alone is still okay, I don’t want to overdo it... But I prefer clean walls.

Same here, but that doesn’t have to be contradictory. In my living room, I have a low cabinet with the TV above it, a sofa, and a gaming corner.

Altogether the room has 20 outlets (16 power, 3 CAT, 1 satellite). Only two of them are visible. And you don’t see a single cable—well, except the one from my laptop while I’m sitting on the sofa.

It’s similar in the other rooms. As I said, planning is important.
