Smaller Homes Bedroom Living Room

Dividing the living room and bedroom

My other posting for the balcony had me thinking I should consider dividing the living room and bedroom instead.

So, I ’m looking for a way to separate the bedroom from the living room, mainly for privacy and to reduce noise - especially when someone is sick. At the same time, I’d still like the "daylight" from the living room window to reach the bedroom when no one is in there, particularly at night.

Sketch of the layout and dimensions (in meters):

Any advice, ideas or different layout suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Ikea makes curtain tracks for the ceiling that can surround your bed. Here is the US site's version:

You will probably be able to find something similar online wherever you are in Europe.

Thanks, but main focus is privacy and to reduce noise - especially when someone is sick.

I would use bookcases to separate the area and drapery. I would rotate the bed and the sofa so you have walking room and remove the closets and use the bookcases as the closets. You may have enough room to double the bookcases so you have storage on both sides. Can you use the dining room instead as the bedroom? Then make the bedroom the dining room together with the living room?
