Plan electrical points from a furnished layout before walls, frames and floor finishes are fixed. A conservatory needs task, ambient and after-dark lighting considered alongside reflections, blinds, doors and flexible use.

Build the electrical brief

• Mark furniture, desk, dining and cleaning positions.
• Place sockets so leads do not cross routes or doorways.
• Identify outdoor or damp exposure and the required equipment rating.
• Plan switching from each practical entrance.
• Consider glare and reflections in glass after dark.
• Include heating, cooling, blinds, data and charging loads.
• Agree testing, certification and responsibility for making good.

Fixed electrical work should be designed and installed by a competent person under the rules for the jurisdiction. This page is not a wiring guide.

FAQs

Where should sockets go before furniture positions are fixed?

Avoid guessing: test at least two layouts and place outlets to support them without creating trip hazards or blocked access.

How can lighting reduce reflections after dark?

Use layers and controllable fittings, avoid aiming bright sources at glass and test likely sightlines. Blinds may also help.

Suggested component

A drag-and-drop room plan for sockets and lighting with safety prompts, not circuit design.
