Closed and locked. Open doors in the dark are creepy. Besides I want some privacy for certain "tasks".

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Greatly prefer it closed, but leave it cracked for the kitty.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Open for air circulation. My fiancee and I live in a too-small, old apartment which, naturally, has trash airflow. Getting the AC to decently reach the bedroom requires multiple fans.

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I live on my own so all the doors in the flat are open all the time, even the bathroom ones.

[–] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Closed because I’m afraid of the dark most times. My cats don’t care they run around the living room. Dog sleeps with me on the floor at the bed to protect me.

Open. The decline of the political climate in this country since 2001 has made me fear for my safety since I was in middle school, so keeping the door open helps satisfy that part of my brain that's always in threat detection mode by allowing me to hear everything in the house from my bed.

Plus, I live alone. So pretty much every door is open all the time.

Cracked open so we can hear across the house to our kids room (also cracked open)… baby gates in front of both rooms to prevent the cats from disturbing our sleep lol

Window open, door closed; window closed, door open. I do what I can to prevent unnecessary door slamming in the night caused by a draft from the window

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Open but I live alone in a small 1 bedroom apartment. Mostly so I can shuffle to the bathroom in the night if needed without needing to open the door

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

I want it closed, but the dog wants it open and his litter box is in the hallway. So, open it is.

[–] nueonetwo@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I keep mine closed but not latched so the dogs can open it in the morning otherwise they sit outside and scratch and wake us up.

Open both for airflow and because we have animals that do not like to be restricted.

[–] Oha@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Closed. Like to keep my room temperature like 10Β°C lower the rest of the house during the night

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Closed, keeps the dogs in so they don't leave us a surprise.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Open, so I can see and hear out.

[–] dicksinabag@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Open - just me and my husband here and it keeps the room cooler.

[–] construct_@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing dicksinabag

Closed, because I don't wanna be snuck on.

Open in summer, for ventilation. In winter it stays closed to let the bedroom be chilly, without affecting the rest of the place.

Don't have a door but a stair. Don't need a door cause I'm the king of the castle

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

All depends on whether you live with other people or not. If others can be in the house making noise then door closed. If you live alone then it doesn’t matter.

[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have a door

Open when I was at my house. Closed as I'm renting an apartment now with several flatmates.
