You need to clarify, are you speaking of bedroom as your question asks or a closet in your bedroom as your heading asks? I believe bedroom doors are definitely required while closet doors are not.

sorry for the confusion. I mean the door of the closet in a bedroom

I do not believe closets are required to have a door.

City codes differ, but I am in California, live in a 3 bedroom home while remodeling another. There are closet doors in both homes. Five are walk-in closets. We keep the doors open. One has mirrored sliding doors, and we keep those closed.

I'm not sure that is code or builder preference.

I am not sure that doors are required in any room in a residential setting by international building code. At least in my region I have been in houses that don't even have bathroom doors on all the bathrooms.

I worked on several projects that had no doors between the basement and the main floor, only open stairs, and bathrooms open to the bedroom if they were within the bedroom proper. In a loft style dwelling the whole place may be essentially one big room.

Here is my big idea. Why not wait for the inspection and see what they say? If they make you get a door, then do so.

If not, you don't even need a curtain!

I am in California and I have heard from real estate agent regarding the requirement of a room to have a closet to be considered a bedroom but not sure if closet needs to always have a door.

curtain is only to hide the clutter :)

thanks all anyway!

I think your local inspector in Wisconsin may have himself on a power trip with his interpretation.

A friend had to take doors OFF a closet in a basement office. It didn't have a legal egress window, and that closet door is what made it a "bedroom." Whatever works.
