Hi Rose!!! Can you share a photo so we can brainstorm better? We have a similar problem with our door just missing the toilet and no real way to move anything or replace the door. Something that really helped me feel better about it was painting the wall with the toilet and putting a nice painting there, because then my eyes go there instead of down...
Our master bathroom was the same way. My husband just rehung the door to open out, not in and boy do we have extra room now. it took a little while to get used to but we wouldn't have it any other way.
My thought exactly! While it may not solve all the issues Rose has with her bathroom, it is the quickest, easiest and least expensive solution to her problem of the door barely missing the toilet when opened. Also Rose, to make the bathroom look bigger, paint your ceiling a bright white, your walls a soft color (a nice soft grey would be nice) and the trim in bright white. If you like color, bring that in with your accessories. And avoid too much clutter, even on the walls - that serves to make the room seem smaller and confined. Best I can do with no actual picture of your bathroom to work from but I hope these ideas will help some. Good Luck!
If the door has to swing in, could you get another door, and have it hinged on the opposite side to open flat on the wall? I think your best bet to get personality is your color selection and accessorizing. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AU4nFjXPheorVs06NkP0N8-OkedsjZS1MO05HEuhz5w30r4gbGiOjdI/
Here are 4 pictures. Reversing the door so it opens into the bedroom is a good idea we will consider. (They probably didn't have the door open toward the vanity, thinking a view of the vanity is better than a view of the toilet.) I accidentally clicked the problem resolved button, and see no way to cancel it.
