I have a medium sized bedroom
there is only one double socket on a wall in the room.
Basically I need another socket on the other side of the room.
I would prefer not to have an extension socket with trailing wires or to damage the decoration by installing another socket.
Any other options please ?
Thanks very much.

Nikola Tesla it is claimed found a way to transmit power wirelessly to a local town, but in real terms we can work an ear piece wireless with a crystal set radio, and we can charge phones wireless with induction pads, but the losses are high, there has been talk about charging electric cars but at the moment that seems a pipe dream.

So a 13 amp socket needs wires.
 
The new location, is there a power point of the other side of the wall? If so might be able to pick up a power supply from there.
 
A socket can be part of a ring final, or a radial, or a fused spur, or unfused spur, the latter can't be extended without it being converted into a fused spur first. Since you don't say what the "power point of the other side of the wall" is we can't tell you if it can be used.
 
Lift a floor board and run cable to new socket on other side . No reason to damage decoration or fit a floor socket .
