Compare the options

Slats or patterned screens

Mark the angle from the entry. Slat depth, spacing and orientation determine what visitors can see through the screen.

Light-borrowing glass

Choose a clear panel where the view should remain open or a frosted section where seated privacy matters. Ask how the frame is fixed without interfering with nearby doors.

Movable divider for flexible rooms

Check its deployed and stored footprint. Leave an easy path around furniture and ask about stable feet and safe handling around children.

Check sightlines with the furniture in place

Draw the front door, windows, seating and television. Test the divider line from a standing and seated position. A movable mock-up shows how much daylight and floor space the design changes.

For a family room, check stable supports and ask about exposed edges, finger traps and glass specifications for the chosen divider. Keep low furniture clear of screens where it could be used as a step.

Example for a 1.2 m entrance screen

Mark a 1.2 m screen beside the door on the plan. Compare a full-height slatted design and a lower screen against the same line. Check door opening, approach and the remaining view to the window.

Common questions

How can I screen the front door without darkening the room?

Sketch the view from the doorway. Consider spaced slats, a patterned screen or a frosted upper panel, and check how it looks in daytime and under evening lighting.
