Current guidelines for bathrooms published in 2010 allow the bathroom door to swing inward as long as there is a clear floor space beyond the door swing when open.
Bathroom door open outwards.
I appreciate your advice about the quadrant versus cubicle for space.
Sonia thank you for taking the time and being able to share your bathroom design which i think looks fantastic by the way.
Make a bathroom door swing outward for more space.
An inward opening door should swing in the direction needed to provide adequate passage.
If it bumps or blocks passage because of a wall barrier or other object when you open it such as a toilet or cabinet the door should swing in the opposite direction.
This gives a somewhat unrestricted view of the inside of the restroom from the hallway which is not preferable to most people.
A door swinging out from the restroom opens up the entire width of the door frame.
An easy low to no cost fix to this problem is to reverse the way the door swings.
Unless the door opens directly into a set of stairs doors can generally be installed to open in either direction.
Reversing the hinges and turning the door around places its hardware on the opposite side of the doorjamb or inner sides of the door opening.
I think your bathroom is also surprisingly similar in that you open the door and see the toilet the sink in the middle and the quadrant corner shower.
