I have an awkward doorway between the kitchen and the dining room. It is too big for a regular door and too small for a double doors. And I am not sure I want the doors anyway - I like the flow. However, I am starting a B&B and would like to have an option of having a screen between the two rooms occasionally. What other options can I have?

Have you considered sliding doors? There are lots on the market in different sizes and finishes, some with very discreet fixings - once opened, you wouldn’t know it is there.

Modern sliding doors in my character cottage? Not sure it would look right. Besides, I don’t want a full-blown building job, just a quick screen.

Then sliding fabric panels might be a good option. These are basically long stiff fabric panels sliding along a very discreet track you can fix to the ceiling. On the high street Argos sells them a under the name “panel blinds” in a choice of white and cream. Or, for more variety, try Ikea’s Anno panel curtains - they come in a range of designs to mix as you please.
