Some things you want to look good, and keep in mind this is the first impression they will get of your home on the inside when they come to tour the home.

It is NOT a standard size doorway. I already tried finding a door door that would fit there or a closet door....no such luck.

Dang, that's too bad...it's bigger or smaller than a regular door? How handy is your husband? Maybe he could change the frame somehow or shave the door or something. I definitely think that this is one of those small things you can do that will really pay off when you're trying to sell your house.

I am a realtor and also do home staging. I would suggest that if you can't find a door .. perhaps an accordian one. if your only resort is a curtain .. try to get some fabric/sheet/or dye the one you have as close to the wall color as possible so it doesn't jump out a people so much. You want it to blend in not stand out.

good luck

I agree on the door. Look around because there are adjustable ones. I know price is a factor but when it is the first thing you when you enter a house it is a priority.

If you must use a curtain then get a solid one. Something more neutral that will work with the room. Sheets are good on the cheap but I would lean more towards a real curtain in a heavier fabric to be more door like.

I have this weird opening in my finished basement (door size) that I covered up with a matchstick blind. We have wood paneling so I went with a wood tone. Maybe you could use a blind in the color of your walls.
