Door for a tight space

8 years ago
My husband and I are in the middle of a bathroom remodel at our cabin. We’ve done everything from ceiling to walls to currently floors.

The bathroom has two areas. One area houses the giant two person jet tub/shower. The other is the toilet and the sink. There was a bifold door that we took out while we work in the room. My husband wants the door back.

It’s a pretty narrow opening, made narrower by the bifold door. I’ve attached the current view (we’re in the middle of tiling the floor), and a before with the door closed and open.

I’ve thought of barn door and pocket door. Pocket door would be ideal, but we don’t want to deal with opening walls and moving electrical. Barn door would work I guess, but it would block that outlet. I would like to eventually get a small sauna to the right of the doorway (apparently there used to be one in that spot because it was marked in the electrical box), so we would use that 220 outlet. It wouldn’t work on the other side because the doorway to the bedroom is on the right. We actually flipped the opening direction of the bathroom entrance door to swing into the bedroom because the door would basically cover the narrow doorway. The left side on the other side has a thicker wall juts that about 6 inches so a barn door would work in that direction.

I’ve even thought of the accordion style, but it would feel too RVish.

Any other thoughts or ideas?
