Planning checklist
- List the appliances that will use the outlet
- Mark preferred heights and furniture positions
- Identify whether the wall is internal, external or tiled
- Include USB requirements only where they will remain useful

Quick answer
A new outlet is planned around where power is needed, what will be connected and how cable can reach the location. The existing circuit and switchboard protection need assessment before work is finalised.
Well-placed outlets reduce reliance on extension leads and overloaded powerboards. Kitchens, studies, bedrooms and media areas often need different outlet and USB configurations.
A visually simple new outlet may still involve wall construction, roof or underfloor access and circuit capacity.
Many locations are possible, but cable access, wall construction, nearby services and circuit capacity determine the practical route.
Powerboards can be appropriate for some low-load uses, but persistent reliance on adaptors or extension leads is a reason to discuss properly located outlets.
