I would want a door between the bedroom and bath. If the door is open, just my wife taking a quiet shower is enough to wake me up.

Personally I would also want a door in my bedroom to my bathroom to keep out light and noise.

We had a similar situation but luckily the opening was door height. We added the door.

I was also thinking frosted glass. I would want the door.

A lot depends on your habits and lifestyle. Our old house did not have a door between the master bedroom and bath and had no issue with AM sun. The toilet area was private. My husband sleeps hard in the early AM and I could shower, dry my hair and leave for work without waking him. We almost never heard each other get up during the night. Our new house has a pocket door to the bathroom we close due to AM sun. Maybe it is being used to no door and being older and not sleeping like a log anymore, but we often hear each other open and close the bathroom door at night. I don’t think the pocket door is particularly loud, but I am starting to seriously consider leaving it open and alternatives like bathroom window shades that can be closed at night to address the AM sun. Right now our bathroom has beautiful big windows and loads of natural light, with window film on the bottom and no issues with people seeing anything but head/shoulders - and not much of that - through the top.

I had a master bath with no door in a house.. Never again. Have actually decided against purchasing a house several times because of no door.

We had the same - no door in the master bath. Craziest thing I ever saw. We bought a door and had it hung immediately.

Personal preference and depends how long you plan to live in home. My mom’s place has no door, they remodelled it that way ten years ago or so, they’ve never missed the door. They also have zero plans to sell and when they do a developer will tear down their charming bungalow anyway

I polled my husband. He says he thinks it's weird to not have a door. I think it's nice seeing the light come through. I think it's uncommon and unexpected, but it looks like your bathroom is large. What can be seen from the bed? Do you both get ready at the same time in the morning? I'm probably not the right person to ask because I love space and light. I love how tall the ceiling is and how it just goes around the corner. I wouldn't block it in, and visually bring the ceiling down. I wouldn't care what others think, I likely would just shut the door to my bedroom and leave the bathroom open anyways. 🙃 Do you have any pictures of how pretty the skylights are? My last home had high windows in it that reflected on the mirror -all 96"of it. Swoon.

As others have posted, it's a lifestyle issue. Many people with an enclosed toilet never or rarely shut the actual bedroom door. Many homes built in the 1970's era deliberately did not have a door between the bathroom vanity area.

I don't shut my bathroom door typically and the glass in my shower keeps the shower toasty. I don't have issues with the warmth in the actual bathroom - don't use the heated toilet seat option :-).

If you typically use the bathroom when the other occupant is sleeping and would be disturbed, then you probably need a door to shut off the light and noise. If it's just a theoretical need because bathrooms *should* have a door, then you don't necessarily need it.

I do have a bathroom door but it is mostly lamina which is completely opaque but is luminescent so it doesn't feel as heavy as a wood door would when it is closed. It is also amazingly sound proof as I discovered when I moved in while the last of construction was going on and was holed up in my bedroom with the door shut (bedroom door has the same lamina).

Definitely a door. What about a transom above the door to let light through? But that would also let the light from the middle of the night bathroom trip...

Thanks! I am considering a lamina door as I like the idea of it feeling less heavy and have heard most people prefer the lamina to a frosted glass door since frosted glass can be hard to clean.

I would do a regular and not any kind of glass door. It is seriously annoying if your spouse gets up at night to go in the bathroom and turns the light on, trust me.

how have YOU been using the space? do you wake each other up at night? how long have you lived there?

if you're considering resale at all or if it's been bothering you, then definitely put in some sort of door. vi think the majority of people want a door. I get up before my husband and can get ready without waking him up. no way I could do that without a door.

If you are wanting to sleep in or have a nap during the day would the uncontrolled amount of light be a problem?

Are these 2 story (or close) ceilings? It looks very high. If so I don’t know how you could add a door here. You’d have to add a wall first and rework the whole space. How far away is the actual bed? We are building a house and not putting doors in our master bath, but it’s a large bedroom and the bathroom is off a hallway/vestibule so far away enough where you can’t even see it from the bedroom area.

You need a door -- if not for your marriage, for the resale value of your home as someone said above. If you want light, a transom, again, as suggested in a photo above, is a good idea; I like the one pictured below because there are also frosted panes in the door and their transom runs the length of the wall - both of which add even more light. You have great high ceilings -- a glass feature with beautiful mullions, fretwork, etc. could be an amazing focal point.

We added transoms over our interior hallway doors. It is just a piece of glass

with trim, so you could do any size or shape!

Get a door, put in a header. Just use glass instead of solid materials.

I agree. Glass transom + frosted glass interior door. Check home center websites for ideas.
