How do door swings affect where you can place a desk?

A standard 36" interior door needs a 36" swing arc plus 18" handle clearance on the latch side — never place a desk within this arc or the door will hit it. Keep desk edges at least 6" clear of the door's swing path, and maintain a minimum 60" approach clearance if the desk sits directly across from a doorway.
