Do you like your decision to have the doors swing into the room vs. the bathroom? Regrets? We are deciding this for our new home and can't make up our minds. »

katydidit Where ever it will be least obtrusive. Also, you can slide the door into a wall if you don't have electrical or plumbing on the wall.

hilltop1155 I believe you should always have bedroom and bathroom doors swing into the room, and outside doors should always open inward. The exception, as katydidit mentioned, is to use pocket doors.

I personally don't like pocket doors for bedrooms or bathrooms because they don't feel private; they are hard to lock securely. I do have a pocket door between my master BR and it's adjacent bathroom, but privacy isn't a concern there and an inward-opening door was awkward. I'm okay with it, but I must say pocket doors can be problematic in their function; mine have warped just enough to scrape as they open, making marks on the door's paint. It could be caused by poor installation, but I've seen it happen too often and won't be using pockets in my new home.

If doors interfere with a dining or living room space, another option is french doors. Even in a 36" opening, you can get two 18" doors so there isn't one wide door to take up a lot of floor space in the swing.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
A few baskets in plain sight work particularly well to encourage young ones to clean up after themselves.
added by Shawn Gauthier to Kid Spaces: Making Room for the Brood
Bonus spaces. Many homes have odd rooms that have leave you scratching your head — you know, the ones that are too small to be a media room, or can’t be an office because it won’t fit your desk. These are the perfect playrooms. Outfit it with a daybed so it can double as a guest room.
added by Danyelle Mathews to Cozy Nooks Help Houseguests Sleep Tight
A daybed in the toy room not only gives the kids a soft spot for reading books and playing, but also provides sleeping quarters during visits. When guests arrive, remove the play table and toys from the floor, and add a vase of fresh flowers and a favorite book by the table lamp, and you're set.
Get the right window shades. Remember that this room will used for playtime during the day and sleeping at night, so the windows should be dressed for both. “Shutters, woven woods, Roman shades, roller shades and draperies are beautiful and functional window treatments with easy access to daylight as well as privacy and blackout come evening,” says Rosen.
