Does an En-Suite Bathroom Need a Door? Yes... and No — Here's What Architects Say

A bedroom with curtains separating the sleeping space from the bathtub.

I hope I don't sound strange when I say this, but sometimes, a good hotel room can be the highlight of the entire holiday. Don't get me wrong, I love lying out in the sun as much as the next person, but there's something special about waking up in a beautiful, open-plan bedroom. So, I have been on a mission to create this feeling in my own home, which has left me thinking, does my en-suite bathroom really need a door?

Granted, this is far from the only thing holding my bedroom back from feeling like the luxury oasis I experience on holiday, but this fluid, open-plan format does seem to have a serious impact on the overall feel of a room. It creates a more relaxing, laid-back atmosphere, blurring the lines between the two environments and making one cohesive living space. It has quickly become one of my favorite en-suite bathroom ideas.
