How Much Room Behind A Reception Desk?

Hey everyone, just curious—how much room behind a reception desk do you actually need to move around comfortably?

You should leave at least 42 to 60 inches (about 1.1 to 1.5 meters) of space behind a reception desk.

This allows the receptionist to move freely, pull out their chair, and handle documents or greet visitors comfortably.

For high-traffic or multi-staff reception areas, it’s recommended to increase the space to 72 inches (about 1.8 meters) for safety and comfort.
