A COUPLE has a literal no-closed-doors policy in their household as one woman explained her bedroom's strange feature.
She explained that no amount of brainstorming has helped her find a workaround.
Maggie (@maggiemcgaugh) revealed the feature in a video shared with over 1.4 million TikTok followers.
"The weirdest thing about our house, our bedroom doesn't have a door and there's nothing we can do about it," she said.
She panned her camera up a flight of stairs that led directly into her bedroom with no door.
Despite her best efforts, Maggie couldn't figure out a solution to her problem: "If we put a door right here, we're going to have this weird space showing," she said, gesturing to the area behind the stairs.
"We can't put a sliding barn door because it'll just come out into our room and there will be a gap under the stairs," she added.
Even a makeshift door, such as a curtain, proved to be problematic: "It would be a tripping hazard," she said.
Although Maggie saw a video with a potential sliding door solution, she sighed with exasperation as she explained that a vent in their wall prevented them from building a similar sliding door.
"I'm truly sorry to our future children because we don't have a door to our master bedroom," she said.
Even a door built at the bottom of their staircase wouldn't work as she'd have to build a wall, creating a space too narrow to get furniture through.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her dilemma.
Many shared their suggestions: "How about a sliding barn door at the bottom of the stairs that covers like a wall?" said one commenter.
Some were more creative than others: "Fog machine or spotlight shining down the stairs to blind them?" joked another.
Maggie took the suggestion in stride: "I'll do both," she said.
