   My parents have had this kitchen for years, but I still occasionally think "wow, this arrangement of these sockets is really really neat". https://social.heldscal.la/attachment/1553006

      It's not necessarily immediately intuitive. Like, you might think "that's not volume efficient". Yeah, but that corner between wall and cabinet is dead volume anyway, not much you could use it for.
      
      Putting these under the cabinet would be inconvenient to work with, and putting them vertically on the wall would steal wall area. And note how a plug can fit with cable pointing either up or down and either way there's enough distance for the cable to veer off neatly.

         Also, they have nine sockets above the stove/workbench/sink area.
         
         We have like nine for our whole apartment. And we're *lucky*. In a HK apartment it's usually more like "Power sockets? Yeah, there's a socket.". :-)
         
         Extension cords galore.

            (Unhyperbolically, I think we actually have 14 sockets, of which 6 in the bedroom. We're *very* fortunate. First apartment out of 5 that has been this good socket-wise.)
