Now you have gotten the official requirement lets talk about reality.
You should have an outlet every 4 to 6 feet. That way you will have
an outlet wherever you need one. And there will be one that isn't
hidden behind something you would rather not have to move.

My mother used to plug an extension cord in before she put something
big against the wall. The other end was where she could get at it.

But she bought houses with wiring in already. If she were putting in
outlets, the more the better.

(Nods knowingly) Yeah, when I moved into this place, I saw how badly the
outlets were placed, and bought some of those 90-degree plug extension
cords, and even a split cord for the bed wall. Of course, when I went to
bring in the furniture a piece at a time, I couldn't find most of them.
Ran across the pile of cords the other day- I should probably drape them
over the furniture in question, so next time I bother to clean those
rooms, I can plug the cords in. Not gonna move those full bookcases, though.
