I’d like to add a door to this section of my home since we’ll be using the space as a primary bedroom. We can’t figure out the best way to incorporate it and could use creative suggestions from the brain trust here!
Details on problems / considerations / preferences:
- there are already two doors near where we want to put this third one that may have to be moved. We are willing to do this but have limited space to do this given one is a bathroom door we want to keep outside the primary bedroom and the other is a closet which naturally has a small space to work with.
- we’re not sure if we can include a pocket door because the left wall on the second photo might be loadbearing, but otherwise that would be the first choice (and we’d have to move the closet door which would be annoying but perfectly fine and doable)
- an angled door would take up semi import space in the bedroom and any door resembling the drawn picture or the tab on the ground representing the door, frame, and wall in this space renders this wall almost unusable (especially when the door is open)
- ideally we would have a 36 inch door since furniture for moving would come through this hallway for the rest of the home. Our contractor says he would need 44 inches of space in order to put a 36 inch door to reinforce the door frame with 2 two by fours on each side.
- we’re working with a 37” hallway
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
