Netizen@不吃不 retreat I installed a barn door in my bathroom. It was just for appearance at first, but all kinds of problems came one after another: friends came over.Inside, because there was no lock, I accidentally bumped into my husband going to the toilet. The scene was embarrassing for a while… I thought it was over. The barn door is not soundproof. Every time the parents-in-law come to the house, the real sound I have realized that I don’t even dare to fart!

Actually, a ghost door is somewhat similar to a barn door, but because it has no open rails, it looks more textured. Since the ghost door has some gaps that are not airtight, it is relatively not soundproof and has no The method is to lock the door, so it is more suitable for some spaces that are not very private.

.04 folding door

Construction difficulty: ★★★★

Applicable space: Its usage scenario is generally that a certain space is closed with a folding door, which may be a study or a spare guest room. When it is opened, it is part of the living room.
