We do not have a door to the en suite master bath. There is no direct line of sight into the bathroom from anywhere in the bedroom. I think that makes a difference. I wouldn't want to be able to actually see into the bathroom from the bedroom. Within the en suite, the toilet is in a separate water closet with a door. I think that's essential ... especially if you forgo a door into the bathroom itself. And a good exhaust fan. ;->

I like an open Master Bath as long as the toilet is enclosed. We once stayed in a B&B that only had a half swinging door into the sleeping area. The toilet was smack dab in center of the wall opposite the swinging door. It was the most uncomfortable few days I can remember.

It depends on the relationship between the ensuite and the placement of the bed IMO. Do you have a floor plan or photos you can attach ?

Did you Consider a sliding door set up?they could disappear in the wall even maybe.I'm doing something a little different myself

I think I'm probably traditional in that I like the bathroom to be a separately enclosed unit. With that said, as long as the toilet area was enclosed, I wouldn't be a hater. :)

We once had a master bed and bath without a door separating the two and it was a big pain, luckily it was temporary. The reason is that we are a couple and we keep different schedules. My husband would get us in the morning to take a shower, shave, etc, and since there was no door he would wake me up. I work different hours and this interfered with my sleep schedule immensely. I think this is a lifestyle consideration and something you need to consider for resale to an extent. If you are single it's clearly not an issue but I think it's a possible problem for many couples. If I saw a home with a master suite that I could not easily add a door to it would be a deal breaker for me because I'd think of this issue.

Two jobs, two master bath door problems. First, like curcaoblue was a couple where the husband got up at the crack of dawn to head to work and woke his wife. Her life was impacted negatively. Second was the shower door was visible from outside the glass front door..up through the staircase! Remodeling and additions took care of these issues, but the cost to the owners was steep. I vote to put doors on and if you don't use them, no issue. One instance where I vote for resale over personal choice of investment.

I vote for doors! For all the above reasons. Unwanted sounds /smells and sights, reduced privacy does not appeal at all. Big negative for resale.......

Doors hands down. In an en suite, please keep the door closed.

thanks!

I’m redoing now in 2019 and NO DOORS! I think your personal status dictates... Living alone, how much privacy etc.

if you have room, go for the door. if you are challenged for space and can hide the line of site to shower and enclose the toilet, maybe no door?

I hate glassed in toilets or similar arrangements where you lack privacy on the wc, that is a big consideration.
