In a previous apartment, I converted the bathroom to a darkroom. Light-proofing the door and window proved to be a huge challenge. Fast forward to today, and now my wife and I own a house and I'm going to be building a darkroom in the garage.
In thinking about the doorway, and given that I get to build my own space, I'm wondering if a door is, in fact, the best solution. Would building a zig-zag entrance with floor to ceiling light-proof material work out better (less hassle, easier to construct and use, still light-proof)?
My thought is something like the image below, where the red lines represent lightproof drapery.
I should add - this is going to be constructed as a fake room in the garage - I will not have access to plumbing. So, I'll have a temp wash station but eventually I'll be going in and out to properly wash prints.
