Movement in a Room

Circulation is the path of movement within the room. A minimum of 80 cm of passage for fluidity.

Circulation: a minimum of 80 cm for a passage, 120 cm in a dining area. Draw paths on the plan before placing furniture. No obstacles between the door and the window.

Pitfall: furniture that blocks circulation and forces you to go around it. Test paths before finalizing the layout.

Good circulation in a room is essential to ensure a functional and pleasant living space. It allows for fluid movement, facilitating travel and preventing clutter.

To optimize circulation in an irregularly shaped room, you can strategically position furniture and fittings, avoiding dead corners. Use modular and multifunctional furniture to gain passage space.

In a kitchen, circulation must allow easy access to different work areas (countertop, sink, appliances). Provide a clearance of at least 120 cm between furniture for comfortable circulation.

In a bedroom with limited space, you can optimize circulation by choosing a compact bed, using furniture on wheels, and prioritizing wall storage. Avoid cluttering the central space to facilitate movement.

In a living room open to other rooms, circulation is particularly important to ensure a fluid transition between spaces. Consider defining distinct circulation zones while maintaining visual harmony.
