Power Points & Lighting: Are You Using Your Home the Hard Way?
Power Points & Lighting: Are You Using Your Home the Hard Way?
If your home feels awkward to use — constantly juggling appliances, relying on power boards, or dealing with poorly lit spaces — the issue often isn’t the home itself. It’s the electrical layout.
Many homes in Perth were designed long before modern lifestyles demanded power everywhere.
Here’s how to tell if your power points and lighting are working against you — and how small changes can make a big difference.
Signs Your Electrical Layout Isn’t Keeping Up
Too few power points
When one outlet has to power multiple appliances, it’s a sign your layout needs updating.
Permanent power boards and extension leads
These are meant to be temporary — not everyday solutions.
Poor lighting placement
Rooms that feel dim or unevenly lit often suffer from outdated lighting design.
Awkward switch locations
If you’re walking across rooms to turn lights on or off, your layout isn’t practical.
Rooms that don’t match how you use them
Home offices, entertainment areas, and outdoor spaces often need more power and better lighting than originally planned.
Why Electrical Layout Matters
A well-planned power and lighting setup:
Makes daily life more convenient
Reduces reliance on power boards
Improves safety
Enhances how your home feels and functions
The good news? Many improvements are simple and don’t require major work.
Small Upgrades, Big Impact
Adding a few well-placed power points, upgrading lighting, or relocating switches can transform how a space works — especially in high-use areas like living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.
