How wide should the bedroom corridor door be?

1. 3'4"

2. 3'6"

3. 3'8"

4. 4'

The correct answer is: 3'8"

Large furniture such as beds and dressers can be difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways, which can be inconvenient and potentially damaging to the furniture. The standard width for a bedroom corridor door is usually between 30-36 inches (2.5-3 feet). Option A and B fall within this range, but may still be too narrow for comfortable passage of furniture. Option D is wider than the standard, but it may take up unnecessary space and can be more expensive to install. Option C, with a width of 3'8", strikes a good balance between practicality and cost-effectiveness.
