Another thing currently lined up is the ceiling beams. You could shift the table and light over a bit but it won’t be in the center of the two beams. If you have the budget and really want more light, I would widen the window over the sink. For the space on the side of the door outside you could do an asymmetrical design like a mosaic or something so it’s not just a painted board on the one side.
I think u can make the door bigger but at same time u can try putting something symmetrical ,though not perfect it could make u happy and at the same time life does not needs to be perfect at all the times😊
Hello there. Definitely bigger…. One way how to keep the symetry (if you really want) is to add the third door wing, so the original center (of the middle frame) will stay the same….and will be lined up with the arch and the light …the table…. For me to have as much as natural light as possible is a win win situation. …I don't know if you're planning to enlarge the kitchen window (BTW it doesn't seem to be centered regarding the beems f.ex… there will always be something, some small detail to break the the symetry) but I wouldn't mind to have bigger door… always better option. …also I think sometimes to walk out of your comfort zone and break the symetry brings refreshment and breaking free from beeing perfectly symetrical…. which might be borring and so predictable sometimes… So good luck. Make a good decission. I am sure whatever you decide for it'll be amazing as the rest of your house. I can't wait to see your new door!!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
I would keep the door the same size, reduce on the cost of opening up the wall and keep the symmetry, I would get a bigger window for sure (hopefully a sponsorship)
I feel like the siding could be removed and replaced with a side glass panel/window without needing to change the door size. Which could be more cost effective in the long run
I vote for more natural light and enlarge the opening. The center of the door and table are symmetrical, but it appears to be off center with the dining arch opening to me?
More light…always…so bigger is better. Also, depending on your area the doors opening out is against code. But we live in a snowy area so you have to be able to get out in a fire if there is 3 ft of snow pushed up against your door.

Bigger and more light

I’m always a fan of more natural light! And you could always create new symmetry or play around with fun asymmetry.

I don’t mind it being off center tbh
Bigger, more light and asymmetry done right can be really cool 🙂
(too much symmetry is boring, in my opinion)
I like your ideas!!!! Probably bigger!! But a sliding door could be great too! ❤
U could just use a slide door and then u don't need to worry abt the symmetrical issue and ull get more light

My vote is more natural light.
I’d say keep the same size and get a bigger window.
Bigger door and you could make the arch wider and move the table🤷♀️
Natural Light!

I like the “bigger” idea because I also like the more natural lighting idea 👍
Yes you definitely need a bigger door and you also need a bigger window otherwise why else why would you have bare walls. 🎉🎉🎉
I'd go for a 3 panel "stack and fold" door that opens up completely.
I prefer more natural light over symmetry
More natural light over symmetry for sureee!

Keep the door big the same and save the money for the bigger window you wanted

Bigger and 3 panel stack folding accordion mostly all glass.
