To separate your rooms as you see fit, an interesting alternative could be sliding panels ( like this Chicology “Provencal Maple”-style one). For example, here is an elegant room divider in “ivory fabric” with a metal frame. You can find them in a multitude of style, from classic Asian inspirations to more contemporary ones.

They are very convenient for small apartments or rooms that need the occasional separation. Screens can also become extremely small when folded. They are ideal for separating a room without closing it off completely. More traditional, the long-forgotten room screen dividers are back. Sliding doors like to play on materials, and are perfect to match whatever decor you prefer. You can choose them opaque, colored, plain or transparent. In addition to visually defining an area, when they’re closed off, the doors are able to completely isolate everything from sound, sight and smell. Suspended, in a wall, staged or hidden, sliding doors offer many possibilities for structuring your space and divide a room. To counter a “blocking” effect, and change the perspective of your room without reducing its size, avoid using furniture that reaches both the ceiling and side walls. Since they’re often without an actual bottom, or back, they can even let light through. They’ll define the space both aesthetically and playfully. You can put them in the middle of a large living/dining room, for example. There are countless of variations to play with.Įxtremely useful, storage cabinets, shelves and libraries are smart solutions to separate a room.

In addition, curtain flexibility and lightness provide amazing height, and add an aerial look to your room(s). When closed, it’s a change of scenery, and two intimate spaces are created.

Simple and easy to install, curtains ( such as this one) will be able to create a defined space in a snap. Here are five ways to divide rooms, helping you to define your space along the way. Fortunately, there are several solutions that are also easy to implement. Creating two distinct living spaces from a single room, without closing either off, can be quite a conundrum.
