Hello everyone,
Our new build has a basement (a pure storage basement without windows) and our "pantry" with a total area of 39m² (420 ft²) is actually half pantry (some packaged food, drinks, and storage for various items) and half hobby room. The space is open and not divided.
In the hobby area, we often play darts, which is a lot of fun, but at 16°C (61°F) it is not always very comfortable. In winter, it is definitely colder than in summer.
Now to my question: What heating system would make sense for this room? Since the space is completely open, the other half will naturally also be heated, which is not necessary but certainly not a problem, as I won’t be able to quickly raise the temperature above 20°C (68°F) anyway.
The goal, however, is to quickly improve the temperature in the hobby half by 2-3°C (4-5°F) with a short lead time.
Is this basically feasible or rather difficult, and would it be better to separate the rooms? However, I currently have little time and interest in installing a drywall partition...
Attached you will find the floor plan of the room.

Infrared. The reason is that it does not heat indirectly through convection or the air, but rather uses radiant heat to warm the body directly. This means the small heater does not need to first warm the entire air volume in the room; instead, people receive the maximum heat on their bodies and feel it immediately. This is especially useful when heat is needed in only one part of a large room...

Yes, a curtain is definitely an option. Although at that size, it can get quite expensive. I might consider drywall instead if it’s already planned for the future. Fabric itself isn’t really expensive if you look for shops with a wide selection. At least the effort involved is minimal.
Ok, I was only thinking of ready-made curtains, and in oversized dimensions they already cost a few hundred euros. If you can (and want to) sew the curtains yourself, of course it’s cheaper. For someone like me, who is clumsy and not skilled at sewing, that would involve more effort than assembling the frame and screwing on a few panels.

For someone like me, who is really bad at sewing, that would be more effort than assembling a frame and screwing on a few panels. I can simply buy two or three individual curtains at €40 each and thread them side by side. I think this is actually the most cost-effective solution.
