ideas for some privacy in a loft bedroom?

5 years ago
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and renting a 2-bedroom loft. The only problem is that the upstairs bedroom (as you would expect in a loft!) is open to the downstairs area. I would like to have a way of creating some privacy though if needed.
I was thinking of a long curtain (though there is no place to install a center support) or something to that effect, but if anyone has any ideas to share, please do so!
I have attached a pic for reference. Note that this will be rented, so nothing too invasive!
Thanks in advance!

Or a modular wall
Or office work screens.
Or tall bookcases, make sure to secure them so they don't fall
Or folding screens

Should I convert a 4th bedroom into loft area?
Comments (11)If we do this, we are going to stay there for at least 5 yrs or more, who knows... But since we are going to remodel kitchen/bathroom at the same time, so we of course will stay there for long. In order to make it a loft, I will have to break down one wall only (w/ the door and the electrical outlet/switch). So it will cost money to move the electrical outlet to the other wall. And since it is one wall, I don't think it is that hard to put it up again if the future owner doesn't like a loft, but again, I don't know how much it cost to build a wall, you know... I just don't want to create a mess and regret later... So I would like you opinion. And anyone who has a loft upstair, do you think it is useful? I am afraid that we make a loft, and still go downstair for activities :-(...See MoreModern Loft with Epoxy Floor Bedroom Remodel
Comments (4)You have some real issues with picking a style so maybe get a handle on that. Venetian plaster is IMO a very formal traditional look and not something I would use with epoxy floors.The sofa and those 2 gaming chairs don’t belong together ever. I do not see the bed and I am not sure which wall is shared by the bedroom and LR IMO this space has great potential but you need a cohesive plan...See MoreThinking about a loft bed for guest bedroom.
Comments (8)I agree teens will sleep anywhere and especailly boys. I think you need to think about the other guests you get and share that with us if you truly want help. IMO no adults want to have bunk beds. We have 2 gest rooms but usually one is used by an International student for the school year we have a single bed in that space and a queen in the other room . Once a summer we have 21 young adults who stay on hteir way to a music festival for one night and then return for a week stay they sleep where ever there is a flat spot and it is just pure fun.IMO you have a good sized rook but you do not need the desk set up and honestly in a guest room a small dresser inside the closet is all you need . Post a to scale plan maybe there is a way to layout the space with 2 queen beds ....See MoreLoft Room Rec/Bedroom Layout?
Comments (10)To clarify my question about wall height & direction of window -my house has a bonus room over a 3 car garage so it’s a good sized room - @ 380 sq ft - & also with sloped ceilings down the long sides. The wall height at bottom of sloped ceilings is 5’ & it’s 8’ in wide center of room. The 6’ wide window faces West & since it’s over the driveway, there is reflected heat from the West facing driveway to the 6’ wide window that affects temperature in the room. We do have a ceiling fan because of that as well as blinds plus a Roman shade mounted at ceiling height & with a solar backing on the window. We also have AC. The 5’ height of side walls does allow for seating along walls & no problem with headroom. It also allows for our very large TV that sits on a regular height console to be placed on the long wall across from the sofa. TV sits in middle of console top so height not a problem. We have a loveseat in front of window & a great table for projects & games sitting in a corner We do have a generous closet with a regular door that is built out from the side wall & has a half wall extension that continues @3’ from the closet & which has the stairs on the other side. No bathroom in the room & also no door at top of stairs. The room is open at top of stairs with the half wall - stairs don’t ’load’ directly into room as yours do. Ours are a side entry. We have had guests sleep there on air beds - 3 boys. Likely not a good solution for your MIL. Murphy bed might be a solution for you to place on left wall next to door but quite an expense & not sure about safety with the spring loaded bed & kids playing up there. Maybe a trundle bed set up used as a day bed? Sofa sleepers are notorious for lack of comfort but may be the only choice if you don’t want the room looking like a bedroom. Lots of info but maybe will spark some ideas for you....See Morepartalius
