Don’t forget the Power Points!
Who can think of 3 places where they would love to add an extra power point in their home? We bet most people could think of 5!
Power points are like dinner reservations in Covid times, high demand but low availability. We use so many electronics these days, for both practical and decorative purposes, it’s so easy to run out of places to charge them.
When you choose your home design, you already have a set amount of power points in place for the necessities. However, during Prestart, you have the option to add and move power points within your home to best suit your lifestyle. Pretty nifty, right?!
You may think these little suckers are insignificant, but we are telling you, power points are worth the time and consideration. Many people skip this step and just think ‘I’ll add them later’, ain’t nobody got time for that! To save yourself the hassle of messing around with double adaptors and extension cords, check out this list our New Homes Consultant, Jess (@home.hacks.with.jess.and.max), put together for the most common places people forget to add power points.
11 places people forget to put Power Points
?? Christmas Tree Corner
Don’t want anyone tripping on an extension cord and falling on the presents.
?? Laundry Cupboard
Whether it’s a Dyson or Kmart equivalent, you need somewhere to charge the stick vacuum.
?? Beside the Couch
Now your phone won’t die while you’re having a scroll on socials and watching TV
?? Bedside tables
One on each side for your lamps, saves you having to leave your cosy bed to turn the light off when you’re finished reading your book.
?? Under the Eaves
For the Christmas lights in December.
?? Island Bench
Convenient when your reading the recipe off your phone (so it doesn’t die) and for any kitchen appliances you need when whipping up a storm in the kitchen, you little masterchef.
?? Wherever you do your ironing
Most likely near the TV, again, so we don’t have to mess around with extension cords (safety first!)
?? Pantry
So you can tuck away the microwave, toaster and kettle.
?? Hallway ‘drop zone’
Handy for your docking station and for making sure you can vacuum the hallway.
?? Alfresco
What’s an alfresco without fairy lights?

For those productive days when you feel like cleaning the car you need a power point for the vacuum or pressure hose.
There you have it. With the the help of this list, you’ll never find yourself searching for a free power point again.
