Play with modern light DIY screens! Check out how I used it in my projects. Literally built my self. Get compliments on them all the time! Carpenter’s wait time and price were a joke. If interested will give you details of the process (3 hours total time :-) One is horizontal and the last one is vertical, separates dining and living. Black defines dressing area from open space loooooong master

Knowing that this the only room on the first floor, now I understand why you have a bath there. It's nice that guests could use the bathroom without climbing stairs (and that you can, too, while you're working from home in the home office). I think the tiny sink on top of the toilet is pretty ingenious, given the space limitations - I've never seen anything like it! I'm not a pro, so please take my thoughts with a grain of salt (or a heaping spoonful): Squeeze as much of your bedding as possible into the closet. If it doesn't all fit, consider getting a storage ottoman or bench/chest and squeeze the rest of the bedding into that. You could use it as a footrest for the couch most of the time, and then tuck it alongside the far wall as a nightstand when the pullout bed is extended. I like the idea of mounting the TV opposite the current couch position on the wall. Then you could see it from the couch/bed. Are all of those paintings just possibilities you are temporarily resting there? The space will look less cluttered if you get rid of some of them, and if you hang them properly on the wall rather than leaning them against it. Consider getting a white fan that will blend in with the ceiling. The current wood color of the fan blades doesn't go with your floor, and I think it makes the room look smaller. Find a spot for the lamp elsewhere in the house. Edited to add: Consider getting a rug in soothing colors; something with cream like your walls, taupe/brown like your couch/floors, or a soothing accent color (soft green or blue?). I'd avoid a bright bold pattern like your current rug, given the limited size of the room, and that I generally desire my office and bedroom to be calming spaces.

You’d have to narrow the wide opening in order to fit pocket doors, but you also have some hvac and electrical to deal with that I can see which might still make pocket doors problematic. What if you just walled off the dining room and have the only entry to the office be via the hallway? Or narrow the dining room opening, do traditional French doors and a long transom on top? I think you could get away with traditional French doors in the entry foyer also, but again, that’s a lot of French doors and they wouldn’t be terribly effective at blocking sound.

yes. that's how you get color. Let me show you an example. Look at this room and take away the rugs, Pillows, and throw. what do you have? you have a wood floor and white furniture and white walls. that's it. see how much life those items add? same for your room. Except I'd have to throw in a plant somewhere. every room needs some greenery. here's a neutral room w/greenery and some prints and texture this room takes a risk w/pastel blue/purples. see all the diff prints? they all work together because the color palette is the same. I love this one. notice the window treatments, and tree. and every room needs a bit of leopard. what do you think about the woven wood blinds and some white linen drapes? do you like that look? I posted this room because of the rug. I love the soft blue tones w/the warm rust/orange tones. they'd look great w/your gray and your wood floors same thing w/this rug. find a rug you love and then pull those colors onto the pillows/throws. bring in pattern/textures and don't forget a plant or two!
