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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I don’t like open doors directly connected to where I’m sleeping, unless I’m just taking an afternoon nap and someone else is awake in the house. We keep the bathroom door closed enough to just before the doorknob latches, so it isn’t noisy opens/closes the door when using the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    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.
