Minecraft – How to keep the villagers out of your house in Minecraft

minecraft-java-edition

This is my house.

Due to the improved design, my house is much better illuminated than the surrounding houses, what causes most of the villagers to pack inside. Since I didn't like it, I have started using iron doors to keep them out. The problem, however, is that I get stuck quite often. Now, I'm looking for a different way to keep the villagers away while I can still use normal spurce wooden doors. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Instead of facing straight on to the doorway while placing the door, stand off to the side. You'll know you've done it right if the door places in an open position instead of a closed position. This will make it so when the door is "open" it will actually be closed, and when it is "closed" it will actually be open. This will confuse the villagers to the point that they will be unable to open the doors to get into your house.
