and updates on our exciting projects. Join our growing design community to stay at the

of interior design: circulation spaces in floor plans.
Tip 1: Understand the Purpose of Circulation Spaces
Circulation spaces are areas in your floor plan that allow people to move freely from one room to another. These include hallways, corridors, and pathways within rooms. Well-designed circulation spaces ensure a smooth flow throughout your home, making it more accessible and comfortable for everyone. By prioritizing these areas in your design, you can enhance both the functionality and the overall ambiance of your living space.
Tip 2: Minimum Width Requirements
According to industry standards, hallways and corridors should be at least 900mm wide to accommodate comfortable movement. For high-traffic areas or homes with accessibility needs, increasing this width to 1200mm or more is recommended. Adequate width ensures that people can pass through without feeling cramped, making your home more inviting and practical.
Tip 3: Room-to-Room Transition
Smooth transitions between rooms are essential for a cohesive floor plan. When planning your layout, place doorways strategically to facilitate easy access. Ideally, doorways should be at least 800mm wide. This ensures that movement from one room to another is effortless, enhancing the overall flow of your home. Additionally, consider the placement of windows and other openings to optimize natural light and ventilation throughout your spaces.
Tip 4: Furniture Placement
Furniture placement plays a crucial role in maintaining good circulation. Avoid placing large furniture pieces in pathways, as this can obstruct movement and make your space feel cluttered. Ensure there’s enough space for people to walk around comfortably. A minimum clearance of 600mm around furniture is recommended. Thoughtful furniture arrangement not only improves circulation but also enhances the visual appeal of your interiors.
Tip 5: Embrace Open Floor Plans
Open floor plans are popular for their spacious feel and flexibility. In open spaces, use furniture and rugs to define different zones while maintaining clear pathways. This design strategy enhances flow and makes your home feel larger and more connected. By creating distinct areas for different activities without the need for walls, you can achieve a harmonious balance between openness and functionality.
