Placement of outlets in the interior

Indeed, as a result, the eye will cling to the placed anyhow like sockets, and they can spoil the overall impression of the work done. Of course, first of all, everything should be evaluated through the prism of practicality, but a decent appearance should not be ignored either. After all, there are always compromise options that will simultaneously let you enjoy both parameters. Therefore, in this article we will tell you how to arrange sockets so that they do not spoil the interior.

The first and most important factor, in spite of everything, is the ergonomic location and accessibility of sockets in terms of operation. They should be as accessible as possible for use, there should be enough of them, and they should be easily repairable.

After all, sockets are used very often and access to them should be easy. And because of their demand, they are highly prone to wear and tear, so regular maintenance is a must. If you have the opportunity, then you should order non-standard equipment like an electricity metering cabinet. An important rule that you must consider when repairing is that you cannot install sockets in the bathroom and bathroom. After all, electricity is extremely sensitive to moisture, and increased levels of humidity in these rooms can lead to huge problems. Sockets are best placed on external walls outside of these rooms. The exception is sockets for electric shavers.

Although many people ignore safety precautions, they are still very important if you do not want potentially dangerous situations to arise.

1. One of the most important points is the placement of the outlet. Some say that the outlet should not be placed lower than 50 cm from the floor, as then it will be accessible to small children. However, now a huge number of special dampers, plugs and other things have appeared. And they are quite capable of protecting your child from dangerous interaction with sockets. But on the other hand, low-lying sockets are more convenient to use, and they look much better, as they are located close to the baseboard, and do not stick out in the middle of the wall.
2. Spring loaded sockets are the best option as they are the most reliable and safe.
3. Do not fix sockets at a distance of less than 50 cm from metal objects with grounding.
4. If you are planning to install sockets on the same wall, but on different sides, for example, in the bedroom and

living room

, the easiest solution is to mirror them, connecting them in parallel, through a hole in the wall.
5. Do not skimp on the number of outlets. It is better to calculate in advance how much equipment you are supposed to use per room and add 1-2 more pieces to this number. So you are guaranteed to have enough outlets and do not have to suffer with carriers, tees and other similar things.
