When should you divide a room?
When your household lacks privacy, when you want to create a cozy corner or when spaces are too large to be practical.
Zoning a room is useful if you want to:
- Create separate spaces for siblings who share a room;
- Separate the bedroom area from the dressing room;
- Separate a corner for reading books or a laptop workstation from the rest of the living room;
- Separate space for toys and create a comfortable play area for the youngest members of the household.
What to use to divide the room?
There are several solutions to achieving greater privacy in a single interior. Check out the list below and choose the one that suits your interior design options.
Not sure what to use to divide a room in half? The following solutions will work great and meet your needs.
Curtain
This is a simple and quick way to create a cozy corner in a room. All you need is a curtain, a curtain rod and a runner. The great advantage of this solution is that you can easily move the fabric according to the needs of the rhythm of the day of the household. Therefore, the curtain is perfect for a room with one window and the need for separate space changes throughout the day.
Furniture
You can successfully divide up the space in a room using furniture that is already there – just arrange it differently. A wardrobe and a shelf or bookcase for books or handy trinkets will work just fine. By choosing an open bookcase, you will ensure that light flows through the room. A closed bookcase, on the other hand, will provide slightly more privacy.
Sliding doors
This is a great way to divide the space if the room can accommodate such an arrangement. If you want convenience, the doors can be mounted on tracks fixed only to the ceiling. With their mobility, sliding doors do not take up much space and do not permanently darken the room. They can also be an attractive decorative element and combine practical considerations with interior aesthetics.
Partition wall
If you are still wondering what to use to separate a room and enjoy a comfortable division of space, our answer is a partition wall. Slats will be perfect for this purpose. This is the most striking option – check out the following options for arranging space with partition walls.
What to use to build a partition wall?
If you have already decided on this option, the next questions are “how” and “from what”. You can successfully erect a partition wall using plasterboard or cellular concrete. These are, however, solutions that require a more extensive renovation.
Are you wondering what to use for the partition walls in the block of flats and for the house? In both cases, versatile and striking slats are the answer. Wooden partition walls will work well in any room, regardless of size. Also, there are additional benefits of slats, such as soundproofing the interior or enlarging it optically, depending on how the slats are installed.
Wooden slat partitions – for lovers of simple solutions
What can you use for a partition wall and bring a practical decorative element into a room? Prefabricated wooden room divider panels will work great and will easily match any interior. You can choose from a variety of colour suggestions, opting either for perfect harmony with other accessories or a striking contrast.
Why slats? A wooden slat partition will ensure a free flow of light in the room, making the interior look tastefully decorated and still adequately illuminated (no lighting changes required).
Inspiration
Slats are not only a great idea for separating spaces. With slats, you can also create a striking balustrade at the stairs to ensure safety (especially for children) and a practical flow of light on the staircase.
Wood slat partition – how to do it right?
Now that you have made up your mind, let’s look at the technical issues involved with the slats (partition wall). You do the installation yourself, using the screws and dowels included in the slats kit.
Importantly, when ordering a free-standing slat partition from our shop, you will receive the slats cut to the size (height) you specify when placing an order. To make installation easier for you, we will pre-drill the holes. To install the slats, you will need a spirit level and, depending on the option you choose, glue or a screwdriver.
As you can see, there are several ways to create comfortable zones in a room. We suggest choosing ones that combine practical considerations and can be easily arranged while at the same time being a durable and striking decoration for your flat or house.
