Okay, so you are building a new home. Lots of decisions right. Well, along the way you will probably meet with your builders electrician to choose where you want any extra plugs or switches, etc. Let me point out a few extra areas that you may not have thought of but come in very handy for plugs.
Plugs in closets. Yes, place plugs in closets, especially a vacuum closet. Many vacuums and similar household cleaning tools are rechargeable. What better place to recharge them, than where they are stored. Even if your vacuum is a standard plug in vacuum, you can probably still just leave it plugged in inside the closet and still vacuum a good portion of your house. This can be really convenient for quick clean ups.
Plugs inside your kitchen cupboards. With all the cell phones, and cameras, and gadgets we all have, counter tops can become very cluttered with charging cords and cell phones being charged. Why not pick a cupboard to hide these items in, place a plug or even a couple plugs in the back of the kitchen cupboard and nicely hide away all your charging electronics. You could also use the closet as a place to charge digital cameras and camcorders also.
