Help! Window covering for sliding barn door!

[Lola]

Is the door metal? Would a magnetized curtain work? Like this? www.amazon.com/MagneBlindTM-Magnetic-Mini-Blinds-Half-Length/dp/B000256NO0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433176950&sr=8-2&keywords=magnet+window+shade

Or would that stick out too far and get knocked off when you open it?

This is similar to what we bought that didn't work :-( will have to check if it's magnetic. I don't think so though- i think it's wood...

ETA: because it is visible to our living space, we are looking for something that is maybe fun or looks nice. I wasn't wild about the window stick stuff but DH was all gung-ho about it

Yeah i agree, I don't think it looks that nice, but maybe you could put a blind/curtain on both sides? So you cant see the black out stuff from the outside?

Are you allowed to drill into the walls? If so you could always do a curtain rod over the door and hang a long curtain.

Contact paper? Or removable wall paper? They've got pretty patterns at target (and I'm Sure on Amazon).

I think if I lived there I would do a tension rod in the door way and do a curtain that coordinated with the nearby space. Tie it to one side during the day and then at night it will fall over the doorway so you can live in the light

I think I would find this annoying to move out of the way every time I had to go in/out, even with tieing it back. The opening doesn't look that big, so it looks like it would still be in the way. Plus (experience here) tension rods can still be pulled down, especially by curious kids.

Can you hang a blind on the window? You can buy ones that don't have cords now, so that is a lot safer.

How about one of these types of curtains for the door. I like it because you can pull it up and it's out of your way
