12 Ways With Room Dividers

12 Ways With Room Dividers
Sometimes a wide-open floor plan can be very intimidating. One wonders where to
even begin, worries the scale of the room will swallow up the furniture, and can be
confounded about how to create more intimate spaces within it. If you're searching for
more separation, consider a room divider before you call in the drywall guy. There are
so many versatile options out there — here's a dozen to get your started.
This dynamic wall's metal rods create a rhythm that is repeated in furniture throughout
this house.
This bookshelf blocks off the view of the kitchen. How much of the view is blocked can
change, as the shelves can be completely emptied, completely filled with books, or left
anywhere in between.
This unique built-in system allows for another kind of flexibility: Art can be displayed on
either side. The homeowners can change this composition with ease when they want to
open up or close off the wall, or when they acquire a new piece. They can even pull a
switcheroo and have the art face the opposite room for a fresh look.
These repurposed windows provide a feeling of separation but leave a nice view
between living and dining areas. Using reclaimed objects like the windows and
repurposing them is very appropriate in this former factory.
This light screening works like oversized matchstick blinds, creating a feeling of
separate spaces by placing a filter over the view.
A unique composition of plastic branches creates a temporary room divider that looks
like some sort of MoMA installation.
Intricate doors and windows can create a divider with exotic flair.
A simple grid of mirrors can take on a traditional, art deco, or modern look, depending
upon how the flat is decorated. Whatever the style, it allows light to filter bounce
around the space while creating a strong, physical separation.
A portable room screen like this one can be moved around to different areas. Also, its
unique construction lets it serve as a sculpture.
A wall of wine separates this music and movie area from the stairwell, creating a
corridor.
The glass on this divider is slightly mirrored on one side, which lets the light through
while allowing some privacy in the home office. At the same time, its translucence and
low height makes the space feel larger.
A very short divider can add coziness to a nook; this one only extends the width of the
windowseat. The divider emphasizes the horizontal and picks up on other rich woods
used throughout the home.
