A cozy work area or a relaxing space for your “me” time seems an impossible dream when you are facing a space crunch. But surprisingly, it’s not difficult to create an illusion of separate space with a few ingenious ideas.
What’s more, getting it right isn’t rocket science. These doable space-dividing ideas will not only define your space, but will also change the way your home looks. What’s more, you don’t have to break the bank to achieve the impossible. So, how do you go about it? Let’s check out your options.
Screen Style Statement
The quickest way to divide your space is by using a screen. With so many options available, you can take your pick from traditional Indian jali work, bamboo dividers, or Japanese silk screens.
For more privacy, go for a solid structure for total privacy. To add character, why not customize a screen with paintings or a family photo gallery? The best part? You can move it around and use it as an accessory.
An Air of Mystery with Curtains
Wispy curtains billowing in the breeze are like a breath of fresh air. These are easy to install and allow you to open the space when you wish. Whether you go for lace, net, gauze, or linen; these wonders are sure to amp up the look.
Go the Bead Way
To give your room a touch of mysticism, nothing beats the bead curtain. These charming curtains are not only very practical but add an interesting element to the décor. What’s utterly enthralling about these gorgeous creations is the tinkle of the glass beads and bells on windy days. And with the color and style options, you can go to town with this one. Apart from gorgeous dividers, they work on windows and balcony doors too.
Go Halfsies
Room dividers aren’t always about privacy. To create an illusion of division without disturbing the air and light in your space, partial dividers are your best bet. These can be custom-made to suit your needs or store-bought units that can be used to section off areas. The best part about these dividers is they offer storage options and can be shifted to other areas of your home.
The Minimalist Approach
Lightroom dividers are a minimalist take on heavy structures that don’t allow light and air. These lean wonders are a perfect way to create zones in your home and also offer you the opportunity to go all out to dress up the divider. Plants and artifacts are a better option for these units, as you will see your knicks from both sides of the room.
Japanese Shoji Paper Sliding Doors
Shojis are multi-functional. Not only do they add an intriguing element to the décor, but also afford total privacy. As you can slide them open when you need to enjoy the expense of space, it’s a win-win situation. To take it up a notch, introduce a few tall bamboo plants and some calligraphy wall art to complete this fabulous look.
Center Islands
Center islands are a perfect way to divide your living space from the kitchen. This concept can work in other areas of the home too, in the form of writing tables or bureaus.
Rearrange Your Furniture
The easiest way to divide your space is by changing the arrangement of your furniture. So, how do you go about it? Try arranging your sofas facing away from your kitchen or dining space. The back of your couch forms a partition of sorts, effectively dividing the space.
Dining tables are just as effective for an illusion of divided space. If you want to take it up a notch, try using the dining room sideboard to divide the space.
Final Thoughts
These simple yet effective ideas will give the desired effect when you want to split your room into two. And the best part is, you can always change over to a single space when you get bored with your look. Homebliss.in always has a refreshing take on home décor related topics.
