Hello there, Hang a curtain or Door from the ceiling?
How do u hang a door from the ceiling? That would be perfect!
What about a bifold door, or a door composed of 2 sides (second picture below)? These do not require as much floor space to open and close, compared with a conventional door.
O.K. I see the picture now that you posted.
IMO, there are three ways to approach this dilemma:
(1) Extend the wall on the left side so that it lines up with the length of the wall on the right side. Then a conventional door could be installed.
This option requires carpentry and drywalling skills. Also, a regular door requires a min amount of floor space to open and close adequately.
(2) Build a sliding pocket door (first picture below) that 'hides' in the left wall, and opens to the right to close off the toilet area. This option would also require carpentry skills, either to build into the existing wall on the left, or to construct an additional 'false' wall to enclose the pocket door when it was open.
(3) Mount a one panel sliding closet door (could be a mirrored door) on the front of the left wall. An overhead track would provide the hanging hardware, or in addition, you could insert a lower track into the floor for additional support. This 'door' would not have a built in lock, which may not be a critical factor for you to have. Examples are shown in pictures 2, 3 and 4 below.
This option wouldn't require construction skills as advanced as options (1) or (2).
Thank you very much!
