Hi..
Right behind my bathroom door is my shower. Thus, when my bathroom door swings in, it blocks most of my shower. Plus it collides with my shower door when the shower door opens (swings out) and my bathroom door swings in. I thought about pocket door, but that wall has electrical outlet and switch and it doesn't seem to be a feasible option from reading about installing pocket. I thought about having the door swings out, but this means it will block most of the entrance to my closet. Can you please provide me any suggestion to my dilemma? Thank you!!!

Welcome to the forums! Think about it a minute. If you took the door and frame out, reversed it, would it, now, collide with anything? Remember it will be on the opposite side. If it does collide, consider buying a door with the opposite swing.
