Electrical planning - How many sockets are enough?

At the bed, I would make the bedside lamps switchable from the door and the bed (for comfort)

More important is to be able to switch spatially from the bed. But still a good tip.

The latter

Yes, same here. Standby power is not an issue if the devices are not about 10 years old. Peanuts.

Well, I would largely want to avoid switches in a new build...

I see it the same way. If you’re doing it new, then right away according to needs (plus possibly some buffer). But I wouldn’t want to overdo it either; sockets don’t look all that great, and they’re not free either. Some people get charged quite a bit by the general contractor. Especially at the TV furniture I would find a switch helpful, if the sockets are not enough, but it’s bearable since it can disappear invisibly in the furniture, as well as the power strip.

I would arrange extras directly with the electrician. Talk to him directly on the construction site; usually, he is about 30% cheaper. There is saving potential with a double socket: have only a single one installed and make a double one yourself right before moving in.

Does the heating have a power outlet? Can a second refrigerator still be supplied with electricity in the utility room? For parties and such. If you get [Glasfaser], the modem needs one too. There must be one outside! On the terrace. And also outside at the carport garage.

So above, next to the bedroom, there is a pure storage room; you won't be able to work in there.

The idea of light on/off from the bed is a cool idea... I always find that so cool and cozy in hotels.

Sockets in the recesses of the windows for Christmas decorations are worth considering. A colleague said also a socket under the roof, to be able to attach something up there!

In the bathroom, you could add 2 more sockets on the small wall... The problem is that the last part, for whatever reason, is not Ytong but concrete.

The electrician says if a socket is present, he wants 8€ for another socket on the same circuit. I would say that’s more than fair, right?

The heater has no socket... we have underfloor heating and a towel warmer that is also coupled with the underfloor heating.

A second fridge is not planned so far, so no socket for that... but I already notice we can plan some more sockets in the utility room!

We are getting fiber optic, does that mean we need a socket at the fiber entrance as well?

Outside on the terrace, we have one, and a cable is also planned for the garage.


Questions:
My father received 10 Gira sockets as a gift from an electrician.
Theoretically, I could just connect these myself, right? Like simply tapping power next to another socket and connecting them.

What about the sockets at the bed, do you put them low down or rather higher up so that they are above the bedside table and thus easier to plug something in?

If you have no idea about the subject, I would leave it; better invest the 8 euros.

Oh, regarding the socket under the stairs, at this living room wall.... we also thought about that... but maybe I want to put some kind of fountain there. Although you probably need a socket for that too
