To me it shouldn’t matter, but it feels weird having the bathroom door open all the time. Also my shower sometimes does a midnight clunk for no obvious reason and it’s loud.

I never really thought about it until now, since I’ve never lived in a “master bedroom” with attached bathroom until now. Still on the fence, leaning towards keeping it open for convenience and airflow/dehumidification more than anything. Obviously I shut it after things get smelly.

    Human monkey brains like enclosed spaces for security especially when we are the most vulnerable. Closed doors gives you the impression of safety.
    And on top of that I have a window in the bathroom that’s not have any balckout curtains on it. So it needs to be closed, else I would wake with the sun. And that’s not a desired outcome.

    Open, because there’s a window in there and it’s the only way to generate a through breeze if I have it open and the one in the bedroom. If I were to keep the bedroom door open the dog paces back and forth all night.

    Closed.

    Your average closet monster is restricted by the size of the closet. Can you imagine what size closet monster could lurk in an ensuite?

    I prefer to keep it open to get airflow circulating through this room that sees a lot of humidity, but my wife prefers it closed (along with the closet) due to monsters so it’s usually closed unless I use it last before bed and slyly keep it cracked open. No monster attacks to report as of yet.

    In my home, everyone puts the seat down, then flushes. The seat stays down at all times when not in use.

    The bathroom off our bedroom, has the cats’ litterbox in its closet. I cange the litter 2-3x a week, and always wash the bathroom down at the same time. We also have an air purifier right outside the door.

    So, we keep the bathroom door open unless someone is using it. That bathroom is reliably the cleanest room in the house at all times.

    Closed. Mostly because there’s no shades on the bathroom windows and blackout curtains on the bedroom windows (no one lives behind me), so it stays darker with the door closed.

    I keep it closed because I like my bedroom to be as dark as possible when I sleep.

    I position night lights at key locations through out my house so one can move around at night and not have to turn on lights, which can suck when you are in the wakening process. Also it makes it easier for guests to move around the house.

    So, i have a night light in each of my bathrooms, one in a corner of my kitchen etc.

    Our washroom is connected to the main hallway, where it goes to an open kitchen and living room. There’s a door to our bedroom there, making a loop. Our cats get the zoomies and run around and around that loop, making for some good cat crazy entertainment.

    Normally closed. Simply because I like doors closed in general.

    A second reason is sometimes that I like to have it really dark in the night, but sometimes light comes in through the bathroom window.

    i live alone in a two bed and I never close any doors.

    I don’t even lock my doors when I leave most of the time.
