Feedback Electrical Planning New Construction

Ok, the spots will be reduced.

What do you think about the number and positioning of the sockets?

I am missing a power outlet next to the door under the switch in the children's rooms; as well as the [Dämmerlicht] thing in the upstairs hallway.

Also a power outlet in the upstairs storage room

What I've noticed so far while reviewing:

On the ground floor hallway, I would put a socket next to the door into the living room.

In the guest room, I would probably place the TV and co on the wall by the stairs (I imagine a bed against the current wall, more comfortable than lying with your head under the window or right next to the door).

In the pantry, I don't see the point of the double socket. I would rather plan sockets in the wall with shelves (where will the microwave, bread slicer, freezer go?).

What do you need the triple socket in the living room by the door for? What is supposed to be plugged in behind the couch? We planned sockets right next to the couch. And one in the window recess above the couch—great for charging cables.

Upstairs: if the beds in the children's rooms are placed as drawn, you'll need to put an extension cord under the bed for a bedside lamp and alarm clock.

Generally, check where furniture stands in front of sockets. For example, bedside tables in front of sockets: the positive is that the sockets are hidden. The negative is that if something needs to be plugged in or unplugged, you have to move the bedside table. Also, because of the space a plug requires, you can't always push furniture completely against the wall.

In the storage room, I would plan a socket just in case. If you want lighting in the dressing room, that would need power too.

In the bathroom, you could consider having the sockets hidden inside a mirrored cabinet.

Basement:
In the toilet, I would at least provide a socket, just in case. I don't have the energy for the rest or the switches right now.

By the way, we discussed and changed our plans several times, so don't be discouraged.

The roller shutters have to be raised in case of wind. How do you regulate that? Is there any kind of "automation" for this? With that, you could also create certain scenes so that not all windows are controlled individually or simultaneously.

Especially in the basement, I don't think it's a good idea to plan the blinds with a strap and would definitely have them done electrically.

Also, I can't understand what everyone finds so great about all the ceiling spots. It's a matter of taste, but as already mentioned: the positions in the kitchens don't fit and if I imagine sitting on the sofa with such illumination from above... I would take another look at that!

For the guest room, I would probably place the TV and the like on the wall facing the stairs (I can already imagine a bed against the current wall, more comfortable than lying with your head under the window or right next to the door)

Guest room is unfortunately the wrong term, it will be a study (private use)

What do you need the triple socket in the living room by the door for? What is supposed to be plugged in behind the couch?

There will probably be a sideboard there at some point and I’m not sure where the phone and router will go. Either here or in the hallway (so a network socket is still missing)

The sockets behind the couch are intended for lamps, laptop, and phone charging cables

Hm, I personally prefer my sockets to be freely accessible. If the couch is against the wall, the plug (also of the charging cable) must be permanently plugged in. Or the couch has to be moved every time a plug is pulled out or plugged in again. If the couch always has some distance from the wall, I still wouldn’t like to bend down over the backrest until I reach the socket. I don’t find it visually appealing to place sockets so that they are above the couch.

If the window behind the couch has a sill, consider a reveal socket. But then on the side where the window sash is less frequently opened, so that you can leave devices plugged in (we also have a reveal socket by the couch, it’s really great for charging cables ).
