Bedrooms
It is best to look at the space that will become bedrooms. Consider where you will place your beds, dressers, or other furniture. You can use outlet locations to accommodate your needs by considering how you live in these rooms.
You might need an outlet to charge your phone, read a book, or for alarm clocks. Do you have a TV or computer in your bedroom? If so, will you need additional outlets? A dimmer switch can be used to control the lighting. Plan accordingly by taking into account all your requirements and furniture placement preferences. Talk to a general contractor for help.
