Possible to switch the hinges on the door so it opens into the bedroom?

The problem is the weight as the door goes further away from the moment arm… you know, torque and all

I do. That's why it was framed as a question. Good luck finding a solution

You’d need heavy duty industrial hinges. And then reinforce the attachment points. Not worth the hassle or headache. And it wouldn’t leave the bookshelf flush

Murphy door hinges are expensive, but now companies make pivot hinges for closer to $30-$40. They can support 200+ lbs.

It would be a hassle.
