Why do doors open into rooms?

I have had doors changed so that they open towards a wall, makes much more sense in smaller rooms

then you have the issue of moving light switches. :confused:

i had exactly that problem but I don't know what you'll think of this idea -
i fitted a dimmer switch with a press action for on/off (i don't use it as a dimmer).
then a small cupboard door knob screwed to the door so it hits the dimmer switch.

so you can switch the light on and off using the door. it works fine and is very "lazy" - you just bounce the door on the way in and out.

thats a great idea :D a bit unorthodox though ;)

glad you like it! just call me maverick...

it could confuse guests i suppose. it's only on my little office room. elsewhere i have moved one switch in the sitting room and yes it is a pain. but, after a room arrangement, so would have been leaving the door opening the way it was.

depending on the type of door and location of the switch you might not need the extra cupboard door knob.
