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.
I keep mine usually half opened or half closed… Really depends on who you ask though
Married for 30 yrs. We never shut the bathroom door. Period
Open. The midnight sprint to the toilet needs no obstacles
I close my bathroom and my bedroom door. Makes it feel more like a cocoon.
During the day open but for sleep I usually close it because we have lights in there that can be annoying
Only closed while showering or if I dropped a good one. The rest of the time I didn’t notice. I suppose it depends on the layout of your bedroom how much it bothers you.
When I slept in the room with the ensuite, we didn’t care when we slept. Mean don’t think either of use dropped deuces (#2) close to sleep time there, we also have 2 other toilets so that bls.
Basically my thought is, if someone can smell it less if I pooped elsewhere in the place, do it that spot. Cause I don’t like smelling poop so assume others do not care to either.
Course I have my own issues but still assume that’s a good rule to live by. Man when a date had a curtain over the bathroom doorway and not a solid (well semi solid there mostly empty in the middle) door I couldn’t relieve myself. Mean enough making out maybe I could tinkle but that’s about it.
closed for less sunlight through the bathroom windows that reflect off my mirror out into the room
This, don’t mind during the day, but it can wake us up earlier if left open
Open. I have a Samoyed and he likes to lay on the tile floor. also helps there is a vent on the lower half of the wall that blows over his chest when he’s on his back.
Closed mostly to prevent light coming in and waking me up early. Haven’t thought about the poopmosphere
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.
My master bathroom (attached only to my bedroom) door generally stays open partly because the toilet has its own micro-room with its own door that can stay shut, partly because the dog likes lying on the cool tile, and partly because the HVAC system is more efficient that way.
I also have a bathroom between two rooms. My office and kids’ room share one. The office door stays shut all the time. The kids’ room generally stays open for a little additional light, to reduce accidents because they were sleepily fumbling with the door and because kids are inherently kinda lazy about things like closing doors.
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.
Open. It has no windows, and I don’t want moisture to turn into mould .
By “bathroom”, I mean ensuite. It has no bath. It’s just a shower and a sink.
Open. In fact I could remove the door. My bathroom doesn’t stink and if anything is making noise in there then it needs maintenance anyway.
That being said, the doorknob has become a home for trash and recycling bags for the bedroom, so I guess that’s handy.
