You’re probably right, but it’s also the wrong approach to thoughtlessly install 2 sockets, etc. in every corner.

You should play through the daily routine of all persons, where who will most likely connect their sports device, mobile phone, game console, PC, kitchen appliance and other items to the socket. Besides, indirect lighting should also be planned.
Still, for example, you don’t need a working socket under every light switch...

Oh man! What kind of floor plan is that? But it should be revised before the electrical work ;)

As I said, behind my TV I have 2 free sockets,... TV, sat receiver and Blu-ray player are plugged into a power strip so they can be completely switched off. I just wanted to point out that more is not always better. What's the point of countless sockets (all with child safety locks—you won't be happy with kids anyway) that are never used? Just because something is plugged in every 3 years, I’m not going to install sockets everywhere. Ypg is right. Go through your daily routine and see where you really need which sockets.

The floor plan is still the old one in terms of the electrical work (before the renovation) :p Everything will be redone!

Well, my 10 sockets behind the TV are occupied...

I also wrote that one should consider where something might stand at some point... nevertheless, I am in favor of planning at least 2 sockets in every corner... afterwards you regret not having spent a few more euros and then the multi-socket adapters end up lying around everywhere.

For example, I have a total of 13 sockets in the bedroom and only 4 of them are still free.

On the other hand, I only have 4 in the hallway and these are "still" all unoccupied...
