If you decorate at the holidays and like the look of candles in the window, put outlets beneath those windows.

If you have an open floor plan where your sofa will be sitting in the middle of the room and not against a wall, put an outlet in the floor for a reading lamp or end table tamp.

Hi, I am reading a book called Residential Lighting by Randall Whitehead. I got it out of the library. I just read to put rope lights under the toe kick of your bathroom cabinets. Not sure if that is one idea we'll implement but I pass along to show the depth of ideas in the book.

Definitely consider where furnishings will be placed in your new home so that outlets are convenient to things like lit china hutches, nightstands and entertainment centers. If your home has a fireplace consider having an outlet in the mantle for holiday lights.
