Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

We’ve got some guests coming next year and want to put a door here. Not sure what would be best suited…barn door? Normal door? Curtain? Thoughts?

What is happening behind the vase? Is that a knee wall? For lots of reasons I would put a conventional door hinged near your target. Depending on what is happening behind the vase and that furniture, the door could open all the way and be almost flush against the wall or you could leave it in line with the stairs. That obstacle is preferable to blocking the laundry door on the right.

Keep in mind that closing that door could make a mess of air balance in the house. Make sure that there is a return in the basement (even if you only open it when guests are down there).
 
Curtain and expanding stick rod is super easy and cheap. Up only when guests arrive.
I was thinking door as kids are getting older and MP likes to play video games occasionally. It's nice to be able to close off basement for noise as well as visual.
 
Im thinking door too only because you are going to lose some headroom coming down the stairs with a barndoor, either from adding a header for the track or from the ceiling mount track. Also going to have to do something with the crown moulding.

My first thought though...wtf are you shooting at that target???
