Privacy Screen and Room Dividers, I need advice!

I have two problems I need help with today. The first is that I live in a very old house in Virginia. What this means is that my bathroom probably was a tiny closet at one time and you can go to the bathroom, bathe and brush your teeth all at the same time. No room to change in. And there aren't master bathrooms in the master bedrooms in these old houses. So I then have to walk to my room to get dressed.

Dilemma 2: I am great with fabric selection, color and pattern matching, blah blah blah. . . .  But when it comes to the furniture in a room. . . . I'm a tad on the clueless side.

So, I am often changing in my room, and anyone with young children knows that you can't close and lock a door without tears and screaming. But my son is now six and I would like for him to not be the one to corrupt the kindergarten class by describing the state in which he saw his surgical scarred and gravity victim of a mother. So I am going to build a privacy screen. I am also redoing my bedroom and I think this is going to be the focal point. So I am completely starting from scratch.

Which style should I use?



I think I will most likely be constructing it myself. And I like the idea of the one above and using a wall paper to cover it.

Or maybe it will be easier to purchase one. . . . 



But I love the idea of using old doors.

I think I am naturally drawn to this fabric covered divider. I see it and think of all the fabrics I could put on it to reflect my style. But I think with the fabric on the window treatments over my two windows and the fabric covered headboard I should probably go with something else other than the fabric covered option. Thoughts?

Of all these beautiful options, I want to know what you would suggest. Does anyone use a privacy screen or room divider? What are your thoughts?

Here are some other beautiful options I came across. Enjoy!

  4. Abba Patio Retractable Folding Screen Privacy Divider from Bizarkdeal

    I live is a resort community. I love all the activities and neighbors. But sometimes it is nice to have some privacy. I saw this Privacy divider and thought I would give it a try. The retractable feature is what caught my eye. When I received it I just had to get it installed as soon as possible.

    When I open the box everything was packaged nicely. There are 3 internal boxes. The hardware was in a small bot, the other 2 boxes held the end post and the retractable divider and a shorter post were in the other. The hardware box has everything you need to install on any smooth flat surface. The installation is actually super easy on a wood decking installation application. Concrete would only need slightly more work with a hammer drill. The installation start to finish too me about 5 minutes. I as expecting it to take much more time and work than it actually did.

    After installation it take a slight bit of force to pull the retractable divider and place it in the end post. The divider function great and looks awesome. It is super easy to open an close the divider after you get used to how it functions.

    The quality of the divider is second to none. The main material is made of high grade aluminum. This must by why the divider is 5' tall and sturdy yet super light weight. The finish on the metal is very attractive. The canvas is very sturdy and looks very well made.

    Overall I think this is a very high quality product. When installed and maintained properly this divider should last for years to come.
