Fabric help!

[kitchen_kink]

So imagine you have a room. A room that used to be a porch. It's supposedly a four-season room at this point, except that it has very little insulation and is equipped only with a single baseboard electric heater. It also has ten-foot ceilings.

On one side of this long, narrow room, you have a little office. On the other, a guest bed. In the middle and to the right of the door, there's a beam in the ceiling that would be perfect for hanging a curtain from to separate the room in two. Which is my plan: separate the room, and get another space heater for the other side.

Question: what material would you use to make this curtain out of?

So what about a compromise, put the insulated plastic from the ceiling to about 7 feet. Attach it to a wooden 2x4 or something that you put up there. That will keep the light passing through most of it. And then an upholstery weight fabric would work. I also would suggest an old blanket, honestly. For years I had a wool blanket that I used, before I made a quilt to solve the same problem.
