I have a "sort of" similar set up. Walk in to our bedroom suite and you're in the "sitting room". Sofa, chairs, fireplace, reading area, etc.

Off through one wall to the right is an arched opening that leads to the "sleeping room" with bed, etc.

Off through a wall on the left is another arched opening that leads to the bathroom. Or you could have full-height saloon type doors.

Here's a shot from in the bathroom looking towards the siting room:

We always thought we'd add heavy draped curtains in the arches, sort of like heavy velvet, and have them swagged open and then released closed as needed.

But we've never felt the need, so the arches are still open.

You could add a standard arched door, do you have the swing for it? I've added arched doors to what were originally arched passageways where no door was intended.

It might not be as attractive, but another thought would be a "saloon" type door or doors mounted in double-swing hinges. It would still be partially open at the top of the arch, and partially open at the bottom.

Or you could have full-height saloon type doors where the entire arched opening is filled by two half-doors.

There are a few ways to attack the problem.

Would adding 'feet' to the bottom of your screen solve the tippy issue and make that solution viable again?

Have you considered a barn door set up? Lots of styles to choose from. Here's some that look great in a bedroom setting and a link to lots and lots of pictures.

Couldn't help myself, thought I'd post this too, I love the way they look.{{gwi:1493980}}

lukkiirish--That's very cool. Reminds me of prettykitty's kitchen, which can be found in the Finished Kitchens Blog. A great example of using barn door hardware indoors.

For some reason, I posted a response earlier thanking everyone, but it didn't come through. Must be in cyberspace somewhere. Mongoct, your bathroom is spectacular. I am definitely looking into the barn door solution this week, although it would have to be on a smaller scale. My arched opening is not that big. I am really excited about looking into that as a solution. I have been looking on line for door companies to check out this week. Thank you so much. I will keep you posted.

Your bathroom is absolutely beautiful! It looks like it came from the page of a magazine! Did you do all the work yourself?!

Jakefield, try this site:

Thanks for the kind words. Yup, I did all the work myself. The only thing I subbed out when I built my house was the foundation, the chimneys, and the drywall.

I do have to say the barn door was something that never even crossed my mind! Ever!

Jakefield I'm glad it helped. I love the way it looks, it's different and clever. As Marcolo pointed out, you can buy the hardware separately, so any door would really work. If you have problems finding something you like that is specifically made as a barn door, don't let that discourage you. I have often thought it would be cool to get an old door from the salvage yard and use that for a barn door.

Mongo, I love your bathroom too. You did a great job! It's beautiful!

I just never tire of seeing Mongo's craftmanship!

Thanks Mongo

Please post more!

I have similar situation where I would have liked to have a door into my master bath area. We considered a pocket door into the whole area and the barn door too. Problem with the barn door is you pretty much loose that wall for furniture unless you pull furniture forward of it's movement. I also just couldn't visualize it in the spot I need it. Maybe when all this construction is over. So in the mean time I plan on getting a huge full palm on wheels. I will pull it in place for a visual block when showering. Think living screen! I won't have a curb in my shower so after use I can pull it into the steamy shower in front of the window for light. Well see how it works.
