Color, an ideal ally for shared room divide

the room divide

Color is one of the best resources for dividing environments. It is a quick, visual and economic option that comes very well especially for shared spaces such as the children’s rooms of several brothers.

To maintain a certain order and respect the space of each one, one option is to delimit the area of each child with its color, there may even be a third color for some shared area.

In this way we will get everyone to have their space and through this “code” we will also bring color and joy to children’s spaces.

We can apply it by painting walls, floors or simply introducing color in furniture and decoration.

The unevenness helps us to delimit areas

The floors at different heights are also a very effective option to room divide spaces without resorting to walls or walls. No need to create large differences, simply with a small step we are already defining a space. The kitchen area higher than the living room. Or the bathroom area higher than the dressing room can be a very good solution to comfortably separate the different areas of your home.

Change of zone, change of soil

The other day in the article about the multiple functions of a carpet we talked about separating spaces with them. Thanks to its colors and textures, we can easily delimit a section, highlight it. Or redirect people according to how it suits us. And in the same way, we can visually separate the environments if we opt for floors with different designs.

A window inside the house Why not?

It will help us to separate the spaces without losing amplitude and luminosity! And it will also add personality and style to our decoration. A singular piece, a recycled window of industrial or English style. We can find one that goes according to the rest of the decoration of our house. And arrange it as we prefer: up to the ceiling, in the middle of the room, coming out of the wall, with low …

Another great option to consider is to generate a small greenhouse or interior patio. This type of division requires a bit more space. But the result is wonderful. A little green brightens any space!

And if we love the idea of glass but none of the previous options convinces us. We can always resort to a standard glass division that will give us an elegant and sophisticated touch, as well as practical.

Divide spaces with natural elements

A curtain of plants or a row of trunks, are some simple ideas that can go great in more natural style homes. We can opt for fixed or mobile structures type screen.

Recycled elements to separate environments

If we want something more creative and we like to give a new life to objects in disuse … an original separation made from recycled elements, can be our solution. Glass bottles, paper curtains, vinyl records. Or strips of stoppers can be effective ways to distribute space.

Curtains, a very effective classic

It is a classic and it is also an economical and practical option to establish a rapid division of spaces. It is ideal for those stays in which we seek a bit more privacy such as the bedroom or bathroom.

Personally, I recommend the use of lightweight fabrics, with discrete colors and patterns that allow light to pass through for this option. We must remember what its function is and avoid falling into too flashy. And dense designs that take all the prominence.

For shared children’s rooms it can also be an interesting resource and in this case if we can opt for more colorful and daring designs if the decoration allows it.

Furniture, versatile and effective solutions

The shelves are undoubtedly the star element to room divide spaces. They act as a barrier fulfilling the main function of separating, they allow objects to be stored, so they are very practical and can also be moved easily by letting light through.

But buffets, sofas, small closets or chests of drawers, can be good allies too. Depending on how we arrange them, we can create fantastic distributions in a very subtle way in open rooms. The best of all is that being a dynamic solution, allows us certain adaptability when it comes to modifying it depending on the needs on each occasion.

A part of these resources, we will always have the famous screen, the option of raising small low, mobile panels or incomplete wall separations that do not reach the end, simply to delimit.

And remember that whatever form we choose, the important thing is to better organize the open spaces delimiting the areas for each of the uses within our home.
