So, my husband an I bought our first house and we are doing some upgrades. I have a big problem with the doors that open the wrong way (see here). I don't know if this is a British thing, but as I am an architect and having designed loads of spaces, I was always told doors should open towards the room, not towards the wall. Needless to say, I found out why I was taught that. Opening the doors makes furniture really hard to arrange and this is already a small house, so I feel there is a lot of wasted space as well as the trouble of having to open the door almost 180 degrees to enter a room.I was thinking of flipping the doors but, as getting new doors would mean getting new linings, it's a bit over what we have in our budget for the works. How difficult would it be to flip the doors and add normal door handles? Any tips on how to do this, hopefully without having to contract a chippy? via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2F9qhYq
