Hello everyone,
In our case, the angled wall (115mm (4.5 inches) sand-lime brick with a reinforced concrete strip on top) was unfortunately not built with the slight offset shown in the plans, but directly against the door jamb:
The door opens 90°, but it’s quite tight (though a bit of plaster will come off).
Some ideas would be to choose a less protruding handle (this is still the construction door) and/or to create a recess or small niche in the wall (but how? – the electrician has a tool for hollow core drilling for sockets, I can’t think of anything else). Possibly even make several niches and put decorations in them?
Or is this all a bad idea and I should just choose the narrower handle?
Looking forward to your feedback – design isn’t exactly my strong suit :\

In my opinion, moving the door looks awkward if you first have to head toward the corner instead of into the hallway. Well, a front door that can’t be fully opened would bother me more. Just imagine coming home with your hands full or during furniture delivery; that can be really inconvenient. Not to mention the marks the wall will inevitably get over time. I wouldn’t like the recess in the wall either.
And if you move the door by 25cm (10 inches), then the corner really isn’t such a big issue.
But everyone has to decide for themselves, we can only offer suggestions. ;-)
