ᐅ Opening direction of the bathroom door in the attic

Hello,

Is there any particular reason why it wouldn’t be advisable to plan the bathroom door in the 1.5-story house, that is, in the attic, to open outward into the hallway?

Currently, as shown in the drawing. But the idea now is to install a glass wall on the shower base behind the open door. That would require placing a door stopper in front of the shower base. Alternatively, as mentioned above, the door could open outward but in the opposite direction—meaning the handle on the right when standing outside, instead of on the left as it is now.

Thanks for your feedback.

Door stoppers or buffers are not a problem in my opinion. However, a door opening into the hallway (unless it opens at 90 degrees against a wall and never gets in the way) is a makeshift solution and not suitable for a new build.

Yes, I agree with your idea. On the lower floor plan, there would be the roof slope, so there is nothing that the door would obstruct.

Yes... for me, there is no objection to a door that opens towards the shower wall. Therefore, I would not want to deviate from the standard version.

Nonsense, why call it a makeshift solution? It’s all about what works better. Our bathroom door also opens outwards, and not as a last resort but because it’s more practical that way. It doesn’t restrict us, we’re not annoyed by it, and no visitor has ever found it unusual or mentioned it.

In our case, the door opens 90° outwards in front of a wall, so it’s not in the way.

I shared my personal opinion. Why do you consider that nonsense?

Besides, I mentioned that I would probably do it for a door opening at a 90-degree angle to a wall.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference. I really only know it as a last resort in a 1.8 m² (19.4 sq ft) guest toilet or a 6 m² (64.6 sq ft) main bathroom...
