We typically don’t need to go into that room when we have guests, only occasionally to fetch a book or an item from the closet.
On the other hand, our family leaves doors of unoccupied rooms open, and having a room closed off with no one in it bothers me a bit.
Is there any etiquette around this? Relatedly, if a guest does leave the door open, is it OK to go into the room when they are not there? Maybe I’ve felt too free to enter, and this is why the guest closes the door. GENTLE READER: Or perhaps they are worried about the mess you might find in there. But yes, Miss Manners believes that there is an unspoken contract that once occupied, a guest room is largely the guest’s territory -- within reason -- and exceptions should come with notice: “I may have to go in occasionally to fetch some work when you’re gone, but I will do my best not to disturb anything.”
This gives your guests sufficient warning that you may have to enter -- and that they should keep any private items hidden.
