How many electrical outlets are required in a bedroom? The room is 13'x13'

Just to clarify a bit.

The "no point shall be more than 6' from a receptacle" means they can be 12' apart, maximum, but also within 6' from a door or wall opening.
Fixed glass panels, such as part of a sliding door, are considered wall space. As are railings and half walls, as would be found around a stairwell opening.
Any individual space 24" or more requires a receptacle.


So, it all depends in the layout of the room, not just the physical dimensions.

And to continue Hanks info, if this is s new installation, the outlets must be protected by an AFCI breaker.

As a side note to the other good answers, "code" is minimum requirement, you can put them 6 ft. apart if you want. For a new DIY install, it will cost you less than $3 to install an outlet, so don't skimp. I still find extension cords under rugs because the outlet nearby if filled. I like to place outlets about 1 ft. either side of a bed location. That way, you don't need to crawl under the bed to connect lights, radio or a clock that might be on a nightstand or side table.

To further expound on the subject.

Put on any where you think you might need one. Recognize also that no matter where you put one the wife will place a piece of furniture in front of it. The more outlets you put in the more furniture she buys.

While also considering code, also take note of anywhere where you may wish to plug extra things in, like if you want to have a TV and sound system (or anything else) on one side of the room you may wish to add an extra receptacle.

Kyle,

Code has nothing to say regarding the placement of extra receptacles for a cluster of devices.

Just as there is nothing said about using a 20 amp run to feed this cluster of devices.

That's called planning and in some cases, also known as "Common Sense." :)
