Where to put electrical outlets in the kitchen?

Depending on the electrical layout of your house, you can install outlets in places where there are accessibility and flexibility. If you’ve mapped out the areas where your appliances will go, then you can install your outlets right next to them or behind them. Since they will be hidden from plain sight, they won’t be used by everyone in the kitchen.

Next, you need to think about reach. How far are the electrical outlets from key active areas in your kitchen, including cutting and cooking countertops? You also need flexibility in case you need to move a few things around. Plan accordingly, and find the best places to install these outlets.
