Pocket door is double the door width plus I believe 1" (Johnson 1500 and cannot imagine anyone else being much less) so that would be out from what I can see. If you want a door and you want a useable size what you have is about all you can do.

It is what it is. Spend your money on things you can do something about. Like the baby boy blue paint.

Yeah, that is going away. I just need to figure out how much the kitchen renovation is going to cost me and then see if I am doing a bath renovation too, or just paint...

you could do a barn door that sits on the other side of the bath wall. or you could do double barn doors, and only need half the width on either side of the doorway.

Is this your en suite master bath or a bath in the main part of the house?

it's an en suite master bath, and outside the door is a small hallway, door wide, with closets on each side.

unlikely to be able to do a pocket door on a wall with plumbing. I think the door you have is the usual/most practical solution. are you having a particular problem? if it's about a towel rod, put one on the back of the door, or a couple of hooks on that wall...

Or something like this:

The plumbing is on the opposite wall, and we were trying to make the bathroom seem larger, that door hits the bathtub when fully opened and it slices the room in half almost...

what about a bypass barn door with doors half the width of a regular door? Do they make them so small?

Instead of bypass barn doors, would a bifold be out of the question?

Can you change it so the door swings out?

On the outside of the door there is a small hallway, door wide, with closets on each side. One closet is a walk in, the other has bypass closet doors. If I change it to swing out I might hit someone that was trying to get to those closets...

How would you get through the opening if you did bypass barn doors. Even if you can fit through on your own, with a load of towels in your arms or a laundry basket you'd never fit.

If the door banging on the tub is the problem, you can put a stop on the hinge so it will only open so far and not hit the tub. It can open well past 90° now which is not such a bad arrangement; I've experienced lots of bathroom doors that bang walls, tub, or sink and don't even open as far as yours does. In fact I don't think I've ever been in a bathroom where the door doesn't hit *something* if opened wide enough.

I'm afraid adding barn doors, pocket door, bifold doors will just make the bathroom less private and won't necessarily acheive what you're hoping for. The bathroom isn't big. But there's a lot you can do to make a small space charming, if you embrace what you have.

PS I'm currently living with your bathroom's little sister powder room. Same colours, finishes, etc. And the door slams into the sink if we don't latch it; floor is sloped. So I get the frustration completely.

ETA: after reading your last post, I think the chance of bashing someone in the closet is relatively small. You could just mention "coming out" when you leave the bathroom if you think there might be someone there.

Our not so big master bath had three swinging doors! Our old door into the toilet area would make you shimmy out of the doorway to close it, when you got tired of that and just left it open, well, nothing like having a doorknob at your nose while you're sitting on the Loo! This is what I
