Avoid bedroom bottlenecks by planning adequate shutter and circulation allowances.

Standard hinged wardrobe shutters are 18-20 inches wide and need full 90-degree opening room.

Allow 36 inches (900 mm) between wardrobe face and bed frame for door swing plus standing space.

Sliding doors eliminate swing conflict, requiring only 28-30 inches of walking clearance.

Internal drawers require 18 inches of extension plus 15 inches of user squatting clearance.

If wardrobe includes a dressing mirror, maintain a comfortable 36-40 inch viewing buffer.

Placing bed nightstands too close to the wardrobe, blocking end shutters from opening.
