Opinions - Entrance how to fix this?

Page 1 of 1
Hi there,

Pretty frustrated with my builder right now delays after delays and so on, and then over the weekend I was presented with this front door being put it in...Originally it was a 800 door then we upgraded to 1150 door. So angry that I signed off on this after I was told it would be centred and blah blah blah........

From the outsided the entrance is centre and perfect with the house, however when inside the house and looking back this is how it looks like.

What would you do in this case? I was thinking a caesarstone bench when you walk in. I'm seeing the builder this Friday but would love any input on what use would do in this case. There are bricks to the right of the door so I can't just knock it out and move it over, cause then the supports not there and it wouldn't be centred outside.






I don't think it's such a big deal - looks fine. Having the hinges hard up against the corner is better than if there was a gap there.
The door won't be able to be opened completely as the door handle will hit the (internal) wall so you'll need door stop. If you put a bench on the opening side you'll bump into every time you come in the front door.
Just my thoughts.....
That looks fine. It's more important it looks even from the outside. The internal wall on the right of the picture would be perfect for a rail with coat hooks. Hang hats, coats and scarves as you come inside and would look like it was designed for that purpose.
Looks OK to me. A hallway table on the right wall would be good.
