cabinet door hinge question

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Hi All! I'm building a bathroom vanity that will fit tightly between two walls. The carcass is 3/4 ply and the doors will overlay the carcass but there will be no other face frame. My concern is whether my doors will open entirely. I know they will hit the wall at 90 degrees - and before that depending on the handle. I plan to use concealed hinges. Am I correct that if I use a partial overlay hinge I can get enough room to open these doors? If absolutely necessary I can put a little filler strip between the cabinet and the wall to allow more door swing, but I'd like to avoid or at the least minimize that as much as possible. I'd appreciate some real world advice. Thank you!
