The space a door takes to swing into a room is approximately the amount of space it takes to enter a room. If you need more space for furniture, make the room larger. Swinging a door into a hallway creates a hazard. Pocket doors into a bedroom is a bad idea due to frequency of use and the motion required to open and close the door. Pocket doors are in reality have limited uses.

Thank you
The house is framed & I am trying to think of furniture placement & if I can have the bed near where the door swings in! So basically how many feet do I need so you are not walking into the bed .. 4 feet with a 3 foot door or more? Thx!!

When I design spaces, I try to visualize (sometimes on paper) different furniture layouts in every space, during the design process. I try to leave at least three feet clear space for walk ways, four feet at entries into rooms.

Thank you ...after examining my plans for hours on end I realized I have a ton of hallway space ...so we were able to move the door jams back into the hallways so my bedroom space is not interfered by the door swing! I am so happy I thought of this now before we sheet rock! Thank you for your inspiration!

“jams” on the door will attract ants... ;-)

Thx again & for the funny!
