A proper house requires a table, chair, light, background walls, and at least 60 total tiles, plus an entrance, to be considered valid for an NPC to move in and respawn.

A door is a movable barrier (swinging, sliding, revolving) controlling entry/exit to a space, like a room or vehicle, but the term also extends to similar access panels on furniture (fridges, cabinets) or metaphorical opportunities, functioning as a portal for passage or access, not just human entry.
