Re: A learning experience: My new Kitchen
Just from observations I have determined there seem to be some unwritten rules about the opening direction of doors. Bathrooms: always out, bedrooms: always in, living rooms: always in, exterior doors: always in. No fast and hard rules but overall that's how most doors in a house seem to open.


There may be local differences for Germany:
Bathrooms / Toilets: normally in, even if you can't open it complete because the washbasin limits it. Exception is if you are building according to DIN 18040 for persons with wheel chairs. In this case you have also to take care of other dimensions.

Exterior doors: If it is the door of an apartment then in, if it is the door of a house with several apartments then out.

The others are the same in Germany.
