I am currently working on the electrical installation and have once again encountered the problem of how to arrange the living room. I basically have 3 options: 1. TV on the wall opposite the terrace door The problem here would be that the door cannot be used (which wouldn’t be so bad since there are additional doors next to it anyway) 2. TV on the side wall next to the terrace door Here I see the problem that the couch would have its back to the rest of the apartment. 3. TV on the wall between 2 terrace doors Here the TV would already be quite far angled away from the couch. Which option would you prefer?

What a question - are you a bachelor?

The species "fair spouse" is said to have the trait of rearranging seating groups every three years anyway. Which leads to the logical consequence: equipping all walls with sockets for power and speakers, since all three variants will come into play once within the next ten years. Setting the seemingly optimal solution now only leads to extension cords during the phases when one of the other arrangements is en vogue.

OK, you caught me. :-) I had already considered the idea of installing appropriate boxes on all three walls. Then I guess I'll do it that way...

And now with the backup that I said it. The same species "dear wife," who doesn't like extension cords (because of the appearance, tripping would be less of a problem), actually likes the many sockets that avoid that, then again doesn't like them either ;-)

I would definitely choose the 1st option.
