Removing internal door.

[Thingsthatgo]

The door to our dining room is always open. I'm considering turning it around, so it opens to the wall rather than onto the room.
Then I thought that maybe I'd just take it off altogether, but does that make is less safe in case of fire? I never shut it, even at night.
(My house isn't open plan, the dining room and living room are separate and both come off the hallway.)

What is bothering you about the door always being open?

We've done this, it gives more space around our dining table without the door in the way. Slight downside is that visitors to the front door can see right in to our dining room now where the door used to give more privacy.

I've had two doors taken off. Then had the top corners rounded to make them into arches, pleased with them.

I think there should be a door between the kitchen and the stairs, but it doesn't sound like you are removing that! So go ahead

@WeThreeKingsofOrientAre it isn't that fact that it is open that bothers me, but the door opens into the room, which takes up space, trickier to navigate around and also bocks some light into the hallway from the dining room window. If it opened onto the wall instead it would solve all of those problems. Which got me thinking, maybe I could just take it off, instead of reversing it.

Take it off and see how you get on. You can always put it back.

Or you can try it hanging the other way.

Neither are drastic, no going back moves.

Seems like both could be workable options!
