I am in the stage of painting a spare room, which, on one wall, has an access panel to service the bathroom tub plumbing. Currently, the panel area contains basic door trim molding with a 1/8" thick grooved board screwed into the wall at each corner as it has been since I bought the house. I would like to remove this set up and have a better layout which offers easier access without the need of a screwdriver and a more stylish or hidden design, if possible. I am also trying to avoid purchasing a specialized sized access panel which will require cutting and modifying the current opening area. Any suggestions for a better layout?
Thank you
