How do I plan traffic flow around TV and fireplace layouts?

Plan traffic flow by maintaining clear paths of at least thirty-six inches around TV furniture and fireplace seating areas. Avoid blocking usual walking routes with bulky cabinets or benches. Position sofas and chairs facing the TV with pathways behind or around them. Keep the area near entrances and exits unobstructed. This balanced arrangement ensures safety, easy movement, and comfortable viewing without creating cramped or cluttered spaces in your living room.
