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

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).
That is exactly what my wife wants. A sliding barn door.
@GreyGhost those are just shelves not installed yet. No knee wall or anything like that.
There’s a return in the basement already.
Only reason to install anything is when we have guests it allows for some privacy.
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???

Anyone using an Ecobee or Nest? I can’t seem to access either unless I’m on the same wifi network in the house.
Whole point Of the nest at the cottage is to turn it on from home so it can warm the place up before we get there.

The crown was Kevin. The baseboard was me when we had the water leak.
I use nest from anywhere with no issues. I wanted to use ecobee but it could control less wires so I went with nest.
