How Many Powerpoints Do You Really Need in Your Home?
When you’re building, renovating, or updating your home, it’s easy to overlook one small but important detail —
how many powerpoints you actually need. Too few outlets can lead to messy cords, constant unplugging, and even electrical
hazards. At DB Electrical, we help homeowners across Brisbane’s Northside design safe and practical electrical layouts that make
everyday life more convenient.
Why Having Enough Powerpoints Matters
Today’s homes rely on more technology than ever — kitchen gadgets, TVs, computers, chargers, and smart devices all need power.
Underestimating your powerpoint needs is a common renovation mistake that can affect both safety and functionality.
Installing enough outlets keeps your home tidy, efficient, and ready for whatever technology comes next.
Signs You Don’t Have Enough Outlets
• Relying on powerboards or extension cords
• Constantly swapping plugs between devices
• Tripping circuit breakers from overload
• Powerpoints hidden behind furniture
If any of these sound familiar, it’s probably time to add more outlets.
How Many Powerpoints Do You Need? (Room-by-Room Guide)
• Kitchen: 6–10 outlets (appliances, fridge, kettle, etc.)
• Living Room: 4–8 outlets (TV, lamps, chargers)
• Bedrooms: 2–4 outlets per wall (lamps, chargers, fans)
• Home Office: 4–6 outlets (computer, printer, lighting)
• Laundry: 3–4 outlets (washer, dryer, iron)
• Outdoors: 1–2 weatherproof outlets (tools, lighting, BBQ)
Adding a few extra outlets now can save you the cost and hassle of future upgrades.
Upgrade to Modern Powerpoints
• USB powerpoints – charge phones and tablets directly
• Smart outlets – control devices remotely
• Child-safe outlets – extra safety for families
• Weatherproof outlets – perfect for outdoor areas
Small upgrades can make a big difference in comfort and safety.
