re: If you were rewiring your house, what new places would you put outlets?

i'm renovating an old house a room at a time. last year, i did our bedroom, and put an outlet about every 3 feet. her friends made fun of me when they saw the pics of the progress. Today, i charge my phone in another room because i can't reach a goddanm one of the plethora of outlets i put in the room. so, yeah, put them everywhere

Docking Drawer for the wife’s shite. This has a GFCI and a temperature cutout in case the wife leaves it in.

Eaves
Switches by the bed so you don’t have to get out of bed to turn the light off.
Create a charging station for the electronics.
Charger (at least wiring) for an electric car if you’ll be there a while.
Transfer switch and power inlet for generator
Under/over cabinet lighting

all my electricity is wireless

Mother-in-law's bathtub

Behind any wall mounted TVs.

Inside kitchen cabinets.

Attic: Put a couple of good circuits that aren't dedicated to hvac in the attic. You'll thank me later.

Any closet that may become a media closet. Or, hell, just every closet in general.

Along stairway if a 2 story home.

Near main entrance for a phone charging station.

I wish I had more in the garage.

Get the ones with the 2 USB ports on the side and you still have 2 electrical outlets to use.

Instead of putting them on your kitchen backsplash, put them underneath your upper cabinets. I was told this was a preferred look by kitchen designers.

Under the sofa (if located away from wall)

Nope. That is going to cost well over $300. Just the brass fixture was $175 and that was 20 years ago. I did install one and the wife moves shite around so much, I don't think it was ever used.
