The Best Way To Divide A Smaller Space

This is the prime example of what you should do if you have a compact space in your home or apartment that needs to be divided. The base of this room divider is a storage unit – yes, we love extra storage, especially in smaller homes! While the storage unit is solid, the upper beams of the division allow light to flow through and not make the space feel even smaller. It’s keeping a balance between division and openness is essential so that the area doesn’t feel too closed in.

A Fun And Functional Room Divider For Your Home

Here is an inspiration for a fun yet functional divider for your home. This integrated divider can be handy but also look fantastic. The metal frames are set up on a plywood base with more closed storage – if this is in your living area, you can keep items like remote controls, games, and more. The frames on the metal partition allow you to display beautiful things such as a vase of flowers or pieces of small sculptural art.

Making Your Divider A More Permanent Feature

As a more permanent way to divide rooms, you could definitely look into adding sliding doors into your home. Sliding doors that fit back into the opening of a wall or parallel to a wall aren’t taking up unnecessary space. This design gives you the best of both worlds – you can enjoy an open-plan home or close off the spot when needed. You can choose for your sliding doors to be made of wood, plastic, metal, or glass – depending on your home style and also considering safety.

Hang Your Sliding Doors From The Ceiling

Continuing with the sliding partition inspiration, ceiling-mounted sliding doors are becoming super popular. You might not always be able to drill into the floor to have normal sliding doors, so these are a great option. This style of the sliding door also helps to raise the ceiling height of your home if you make them extend high enough, which can add a beautiful aesthetic to the space. With room divisions, the goal is never to create a smaller area; it’s just for practicality, so these elegant and tall sliding doors help to make it feel larger.

Choosing A Frosted Glass Sliding Door

These sliding doors run from the floor to the ceiling and are stunning. The frosted glass is the perfect way to create privacy, which a clear glass sliding door wouldn’t. If you have a studio apartment, this could be the way to create a division between your living area and sleeping area. You can keep it open during the day when you want to feel like you are in a bigger space and close it when you sleep at night to feel more private. You could also use this in a room where the bathroom is ensuite, and you want a more open plan feel but still an air of privacy in the bathroom space.

Wrought Iron Room Dividers Are Wonderful

Cutwork screens and wrought iron grills are incredible options for room dividers – you can have big ones or small ones – whatever suits your needs. A wrought iron divider is ideal if you just want to slightly divide up space for a visual reason rather than a practical one. You can still see through them, and they can have some exquisite designs integrated into this room divider style. It’s going to be a permanent feature so make sure you are ready for this commitment before spending lots of money.

It’s Time For Some Wooden Fins In Your Home

Slatted wood “fins” are a good idea for partitions where you don’t want to block an area visually. When you allow for gaps between the slats, the light can pass through, keeping the space light and bright. If you have them too close together, you may as well have gone for a solid wall. It’s also an amazing idea if you want to do a curved design instead of a straight line of the wood panels. You can literally create any shape you like and mold it to your home’s aesthetic.

A More Natural Room Divider

We’ve shown you a set of shelves with a tree intertwined within it to create a room divider, but what about going full tree to create a more natural look than the wooden fins made with slats? Line up bamboo poles, tree logs, or branches to complete your room divider. If you want a more delicate look, opt for the slender stalks of bamboo. If you wish for a more coastal chic look, pick something that resembles driftwood and start your DIY day. Wood is so effective in home design and seems to be a popular room divider trend.

Swap Out Your Glass Divider For A Mirror Divider

Swap out your glass room dividers for something even more fun – mirrors! Mirrors are fabulous for small spaces when used as partitions because they don’t make the area smaller and create an optical illusion that the space is much bigger. If you have an open-plan bathroom and bedroom, this would be a great option as you can also use it when getting dressed in the morning before work. Putting the mirrored divider on wheels will be even better as you can move it just like you would with a barn door.

Many people have old clothing rails lying around in the garage, so put this to use and turn it into a divider in your home. Make it even more interesting by incorporating some greenery into the look.
