In a compact room, getting through the door is only the first movement to consider. Our Ellon ensuite combines a pocket door, a compact wall-hung basin and cupboards above and beside the toilet, with push-to-open fronts.
When reviewing a similar design, imagine opening the storage after you have entered. Check where you will stand, what sits in front of each door and whether nearby fittings obstruct the movement. Try opening the cupboard while standing in the place where you would naturally reach for what is inside. Handle-free fronts remove projecting handles, but the cupboard doors still need space to operate. Looking at entry and storage access together helps avoid a plan that appears neatly fitted yet becomes awkward when several parts are used in turn.
