How to properly position the outlet in the bedroom?

Entering an apartment with standard electrical wiring is often accompanied by the purchase of a large number of tees and electrical extenders. The reason is utterly trivial: there is no exact general definition of the universal location of power sockets. They are chronically short. They are always in the wrong places. Only here extenders do not add sophistication to the design, and the dangers associated with their use weight. But how to say goodbye to unsightly wires, consider the example of a bedroom.

The smallest number of outlets needed in the bedroom is:

• one device near each bedside table;
• 2 TV sockets and for related equipment;
• "Point" near the front door;
• power socket under the iron;
• outlet near the dressing table.

The scheme of the universal location of points, at which it will be possible to rearrange the furniture and change the situation in the bedroom without compromising comfort, is very difficult, if not to say - impossible. So, we must act according to the situation.

The task of the "point" near the bedside table is obvious - Connect a small lamp or sconce, used as a night light.

A third “point” would be useful - for a portable computer., an electronic clock or a similar electronic device powered by a 220 V power supply. Of course, for a 2-bed bed, everything mentioned is doubled.

TV in the bedroom today - a phenomenon very common. Only one of them functions very rarely - the number of broadcasting channels and the poverty of their programs do not satisfy all of the requirements, even in large megalopolises. Basically, the TV functions as a monitor connected to a digital TV tuner or satellite TV tuner, as well as for viewing software over the Internet. Also need to exercise installation and connection sockets for aerials.

Consequently, the number of sockets for the television zone is rarely limited to one. As a rule, 2 “points” are mounted (TV + TV tuner), and this is also an imperfect solution. Much more often in the sleeping room is installed A full-fledged “knot” of 4-5 outlets, giving you the opportunity to connect not only a TV, but also video and audio equipment without worries.

In the small apartments, and the vast majority of our fellow citizens live in them, it almost does not go to isolate an individual office for work, because the workplace in almost every family is placed in a bedroom. And the power to the first thing you need is a computer. If you have a laptop - one outlet is enough. And if the stationary personal computer, then the smallest - 2 sockets for the system unit and the monitor, and also one for the speakers. Also, do not forget about the Wi-Fi router and desk lamp. In general, you will need 3-4 pieces.

The need for an electrical outlet near the entrance door to the sleeping room is not very clear, however, time has shown that its purpose is to connect household electrical appliances with high power, such as a heater or vacuum cleaner.

Moreover, spacious rooms need to have 2 similar sockets, located in opposite corners of the room diagonally. It is also a good idea to take into account the third “powerful” electrical socket at the window - if necessary, you can connect a mobile air conditioner or heater in case of frost.

A power socket for an iron, as opposed to a “point” for a vacuum cleaner, is certainly taken into account in small apartments with small bedrooms. In spacious houses and cottages, as a rule, laundry rooms or dressing rooms are made, and in bedrooms, there is no need for ironing. The iron is a powerful electrical device, with a considerable consumption of electrical energy. Therefore, it is necessary to install a personal “point” for it.

The socket next to the dressing table is needed to connect a hairdryer and other electrical appliances that any woman needs. With a single socket, the business almost never ends - as a rule A block of 2-4 devices is installed. They are mounted a few centimeters above the table top.

The height of placement of electrical sockets in the bedroom is determined only by two conditions: ease of use and organic fit into the design of the room. The vaunted "European standard", according to which the electrical sockets are placed no higher than a few dozen centimeters from the floor level, is not suitable in the sleeping room. In these rooms, all existing places for powering electrical appliances should be easily accessible.

If there are no bedside tables, sockets are mounted at a level of 0.5-1 meters from the floor. The height at which the "point" is set under the iron is taken in the range of 100-120 centimeters, just above the plane of the ironing board. The main thing is to place it correctly. Mounting below or above complicates the use of the device and creates difficulties with it constantly for all the clinging and tangling cord.

Let's talk about the methods and techniques of exterior design of electrical sockets, practiced in the design of modern interiors.

When an apartment or house is created in this “rustic” style, which prefers everything natural, we advise you to buy products with environmentally friendly outdoor leather. The skin can be both real and artificial.

This interior style can be found quite often in the design of a modern home. For it is perfectly suited unpretentious rosettes of dark colors: beige, black, gray. Power socket configuration is a square with rounded corners.

This modern style will be decorated with samples with chrome lined or tempered glass, colorless.

Colorful geometrically correct products will perfectly fit into the design in modern style. The color set is extensive: yellow, green and red squares, circles and triangles will be most welcome in such a home.

Is an American style, which implies large spaces, it becomes fashionable in large cities of Russia. Power sockets in the interior of the loft must be made of thick opaque glass, such as industrial decoration. Samples decorated with colored glass and steel will also look very harmonious.

For this "natural" interior direction is extremely important natural occurrence of materials, because in the best way samples of electrical sockets imitating such materials will fit into it:

• dark mahogany;
• light maple wood.

Such historical trends suggest pomp, wealth, chic-shine, in this regard, love all the spectacular, pompous, beautiful and reminiscent of the decoration of locks. The design of electrical sockets also cannot be behind the general grandeur, therefore, in such a case, you can practice gold-plated patterns topped with a pattern, luxurious decor, pebbles, rhinestones.

Such interior style suggests rounded outlines and rather large sizes; therefore, in the given case, sockets must be solid in terms of size (rectangular, round or square).
