LOL - most my furniture is on wheels. It makes it so much easier when cleaning.

I agree Kay, small house with large rooms/large spaces.

Definitely go wide. Angling doors helps as well. It will eliminate sharp turns.

In my old place I had a U shaped kitchen, which had plenty of room for a wheelchair/scooter to move around in. However, I hated it as my balance was so horrible that the space was not functional at all. I now have a galley kitchen and love it. For me it works well as I can turn holding one countertop and then grab on to the countertop on the other side.
