poll Poll: which way your door opens?

[campanula]

Well.... 

I have now a real problem with my new apartment....

I do not know how to install a door in to the bathroom which is 4 sq.m. small.

So I'm asking you: which way a bathroom door opens in your home?

 

Heeeelp! LOL

Install it in the direction that would have the least restriction.  If opening it to the inside of the bathroom blocks the way to the toilet or sink, you may not want to do that.  If installing it so that it swings outside blocks a hallway or some other access then you may want to rethink that.  Will doorknob slam into something whenever you open it?  I know here in the states most bathroom doors open to the inside of the bathroom.

Another thing to think of would be that when it is opened you do not want it to cover/hide the light switch.

 

If your bath is really small, you might consider a curtain instead of a door -  or, see if you can install a pocket door (one that slides to the side "inside" the wall)

The question is can you still use the sink with the door open.. Assuming it is an inswing door..

A pocket door is a big job to install..

A sliding surface mounted sliding door is also a possibility if you have the room.. Or if you are really desperate a bifold door..

Oh yea, that's some kinda privacy!! Don't use the potty unless everyone else leaves the house!

[LeslieDean]

Wellllll, Lance did suggest using the sink! But only for #1

[normadenardo]

Where am I standing when I open the door? Inside the bathroom or outside the bathroom? I need to know so I can answer the question.

Thanks for good ideas, Lance...

Yes, I can use the sink and everything else with the door opened inside. 

A sliding door is not an option  because the door is too heavy for mounted slide system.

Jerry, what a good idea !

Then my bathroom will be unused and clean after service meeting. LOL

Thats why I bought a massive wooden door LOL because of privacy issues...

Outside. You have to go in before coming out LOL

Leslie, that was a bad advice. 

Don't do that anywhere. And also do not wash your hands in the pot.

Be a good girl!

Don't get any of that Sudoku toilet paper. I did and it was faulty. You could only fill it in with number ones and number twos.

[campanula]

OK, brother, I  won't, But what about origami? Is it also bad?

Plow furrows with those corners. Not nice on the roids

Our bathroom is small so it opens out toward a closet door on the right side of the bathroom door. Doors usually open toward a wall which ever way they open.
