Curtained doorways for inner walls are very functional. In Europe that
are called Portiers ( from portal) and in many houses around the world
heavy tapestry door hangings keep out drafts, allow privacy and can
come down in the summer months.
In my old house I use sheers in the summer to separate the kitchen and
LR for visual privacy, and in winter a hand made quilted curtain-set
stops drafts and keeps the heat where I want it , in the room I am in
most of the time. I think fabric door quilts can be a beautiful
statement for any cob or other type home, and are low cost to make.
