Specifically, how many is enough, in your opinion? Is there a standard (x number of outlets per y square feet, or the master gets so many, the living room so many, etc.)?
Whoever built the addition on my house went gaga for outlets-there are 9 pairs (18 outlets) in the family room, which is reasonable since it's larger than 30' x 15'. But the master, built at the same time, is much smaller (half that size or so-something like 15' x 15'), and still has 7 pairs (14 outlets). Considering people didn't have home computers and complicated home theater setups and the like in 1978 when the addition was buillt, I wonder what they used them all for. The entire house has almost 80 outlets; pretty good for 1,750 square feet.
