1. Go for a decorative screen
Screens with intricate carvings, trad jali (traditional Indian latticework) or contemporary metal designs can breathe oodles of character into a room, while serving as effortless dividers. If you prefer not to jar the aesthetic of your larger space, consider going for a screen with delicate fretwork, as pictured above, to channel light both ways.

Alternatively, if you want to create two distinct zones within your room, go for a solid screen like the one on the left to maintain maximum privacy on both sides.

2. Bring in a shelving unit
A basic shelving unit – open or closed – is perfect for giving your room a multifunctional facelift. By placing your unit between your two spaces, you can create a sense of division while also maximising the space within the unit for storage and display. An open unit is a good option if you plan to keep a visual connection between your zones…

4. Play with elevations
Instead of using dividers and screens to close off spaces, consider splitting your room into functional levels. In a kids’ bedroom, for instance, you can easily accommodate a split-level play room like this one. However, make safety a priority when planning such elevations in a kids’ space. Consider this option only if your kids are independent enough to handle being at a height unsupervised.

6. Seek out a sculptural accent
Is it a sculpture? A shelving unit? Or something in between? The truth is, anything can work as a room divider if you think about it, and a divider that bends the rules can easily straddle the line between aesthetics and ergonomics. Think outside the box and consider accents like statues, handicrafts and quirky furniture to divide your room while also serving as its pièce de résistance.

Indoor plants bring a touch of nature to any bedroom, which makes using plants as a divider extra special.

Then again, if you have an extra-large bedroom, you can use any type and size of plant that you like. Some homeowners have used a lineup of hanging plants to divide their bedroom, which can look amazing. You can line them up straight but hang the plants at different heights for a pleasing, all-natural bedroom dividing wall that purifies your air at the same time. Be sure that, whatever you use to hang them, it’s securely attached to the ceiling.

This idea is probably the most time and energy-consuming on today’s list and will take moderate to expert DIY skills. You’ll need to build a sturdy platform first, and steps to reach the elevated area are also required, which makes this an involved project that will likely take a weekend or more to finish. Another small drawback is that if you get tired of the new arrangement, taking it down will take time and energy (and you’ll lose all that money you invested in the materials).

12 ways and 25 original examples

1 Partition wall

Dividing a room with a partition is one of the most popular ways of zoning. In fact, in this way you designate a wall, but do not erect it. Partitions can be low, transparent or openwork. Five amazing options - in our video.

2 Bookcase

Shelving is a functional alternative to a partition wall. It can occupy an impressive area, or it can be narrow or low.

In the far part of the room, you can arrange a sleeping or working area.

The opening can be left empty or equipped with sliding doors - as you wish.

4 Niche

Niches often form a sleeping area. The reception can be used in the nursery, where it is also necessary to organize a workplace, or in a studio apartment, where there is simply no space for a separate bedroom.

Suitable as a finished niche in the room, and made independently, with the help of a partition.

5 Curtain

Another popular solution for zoning a bed is curtains. They can curtain both a bed in a niche and a free-standing bed. During the reception of guests and at night, the bed can be curtained, the rest of the time it can be kept open.

6 Podium

The area moved to the podium already seems to be a separate space. But you can complement the zoning with color or even a partition to enhance the visual effect.

Traditionally, a sleeping place (usually with storage space) and a work area are placed on the podium. Although it is possible to equip a game room, a library, and even a dining room there.

7 Color

Highlighting zones with different colors is a smart design move. However, you need to think over the right combinations of shades so that the interior looks whole and harmonious.

The color can also be used to decorate an accent wall in one of the zones. See how the designers coped with this task for zoning the bedroom and kitchen.

8 Wall decor

"Wall" zoning is not limited to color - you can safely use decor for this purpose.

Photo: Instagram idea.decor.home

In this case, the living room area was marked with wallpaper with geometric patterns, and the bedroom was highlighted with an original lamp. Color, however, was also used a little - but not on the walls, but in textiles.

9 Furniture

It is known that the back of a sofa can already separate one zone from another. This technique is often used in the kitchen-living room.

Photo: Instagram idea.decor.home

More non-standard solutions are also acceptable. For example, in this room, the desktop was “continued” to the wall and ceiling, and thus outlined the boundary of the two zones.

And in this studio space, the dining table was fitted into a frame. It turned out to be a kind of barrier.

10 Light

Thoughtful lighting scenarios are not only a guarantee of a comfortable life, but also a smart zoning technique. Try to choose lighting for different areas. For example, here a floor lamp was placed in the living room, pendants were placed above the dining area, and the kitchen was accentuated with LED strip.

Photo: Instagram best_design_interior_ideas

Another option is to mark the working area with hangings, and table lamps placed by the bed.

Photo: Instagram pillows.almaty

11 Carpet

A sofa group is often combined with a carpet and outlines the living area. In this example, the colors are correctly chosen: the shades of the carpet are combined with bed linen. As a result, the living area is separated from the bedroom, but there is no dissonance in the design.

Photo: Instagram ideidlyaremonta

Can be used for zoning and multiple carpets. For example, put the same in different zones, as in the photo below.

12 Different flooring

We often see this technique in the projects of hallways and kitchen-living rooms: easy-to-clean tiles are laid in a more “branded” area, for the rest of the space, wood or materials imitating it are used.

However, this zoning option can be used in other rooms. So, in this bathroom, with the help of flooring, even three zones were outlined: the wet zone was marked with tiles, the rest of the space with wood, and an additional carpet was laid in the rest area.

One-room apartments are quite suitable for people who are used to living alone or for married couples. When children appear in the house, someone often comes to “visit” or just want the odnushka not to look like a sleeping place, the issue of personal space becomes relevant. This is where the idea of ​​​​dividing the only living room into two zones comes in: for children and for parents, or a living room and a bedroom.

A plasterboard partition will visually divide the space into two parts. This will make it possible to use each zone for its intended purpose.

Features of dividing a room into two zones

How to divide a room into two zones? There are many options. But, setting to work without a well-thought-out plan, you can achieve even more discomfort.

When zoning a room, the following rules must apply:

  1. The sleeping area must be located on the darker side of the room. But the working area or the living area is in the brightest part.
  2. If partitions are used in the division, then each room must have a window.
  3. When the room is small, and the partition is planned with the help of partitions, the latter are needed as thin as possible so as not to take up much space.
  4. The sleeping area should be in that part of the room where there are no doors. The exit is needed in the living room, where it is planned to receive guests.

To determine the sleeping area, you should take into account such details as the total area of ​​​​the room, the height of the ceilings, the number of windows.

There will be almost no sound insulation when dividing a room, since the walls of the partitions are very thin.

The rules are simple and very important. In addition, in this process, one should not forget about the interior and its practicality and functionality. For example, not putting a closet with clothes in the living room is not aesthetically pleasing. A TV with a sofa have their place definitely not in the bedroom.

It is recommended not to load a room divided into two separate zones with unnecessary furniture and small details. Minimalism involves the use of simple furniture and functional closed cabinets.

These features are valid not only in a one-room apartment, but also in a village house with one room, in a country house, in a studio apartment.

In a country house, you can make a partition to match the beams on the ceiling. This interesting technique is often used by designers.

How to divide a one-room apartment

Modern ideas for dividing a room into two zones answer the following questions: how to divide a room into two zones? With what can this be done? What division options exist?

So, you can share a room in a physical and non-physical way.

Important! If the room is elongated and, accordingly, narrow - in no case should you divide it along! Thus, you get two uncomfortable zones!

The division of a one-room apartment into zones is a complex design task, which must be approached with all responsibility. Don't limit yourself to just installing a partition. Think over everything to the smallest detail - the color scheme of the interior, furniture, curtains and even the smallest details and accessories.

Partitions in a room division

Partitions are used to make a room multifunctional. They can be made of various materials, follow the tastes and preferences of the owner of the apartment, play a certain design role in the design of the room.

When dividing a room in this way, it is advisable to take into account a few useful recommendations:

  1. Where a window highlights a large part of the room.
  2. If a small functional area is separated in a room, for example, a children's playroom, a green corner with plants, a work area, then the division is made at the rate of 1:2 or 1:3.
  3. Arches are enough to divide the boundaries of the living room or bedroom.
  4. When selecting a bedroom in the room, the wall is not necessarily installed to the ceiling, you can install it at 2/3 of the height or as desired.

It is not necessary to use a room divider. A small decorative wall can also divide the room into two zones.

Fixed wall

This type of partition is appropriate in the case when it is not expected to periodically combine zones into one. Doors can be installed here - they are hinged or sliding - depending on the dimensions of the room. This is the only option for zoning a room where soundproofing is present. Let it be small, but it exists.

Divided into:

It can be made from plywood or drywall. The latter is most often found in the stationary method of dividing a room into zones. Drywall is a very soft, malleable material in terms of design solutions, but at the same time reliable.

Plasterboard partition will allow you to allocate space into separate zones - for sleep, rest and work. At the same time, you can arrange everything in the same style, and if you wish, focus on different colors.

A plasterboard partition usually consists of a metal or wood frame covered with plaster. Such a wall requires laborious work. It can be of various modifications, not necessarily flat and smooth, high to the ceiling, etc. They make decorative windows or niches with shelves in it, where you can put both designer trinkets and functional things.

Stationary partition wall can be designed as a cabinet or shelves. This will make it more functional.

Sliding partition. Sliding door

A good option for zoning a small room. They look non-standard, and perform the functions of a visual increase in the room. For example, a mirror sliding partition will not only expand the boundaries of the room, but also hide the second zone. No one will immediately guess that a bedroom is hidden behind a large mirror if the doors are closed.

Materials for making sliding partitions:

Glass and transparent plastic also enlarge the room. In addition, they play a decorative role.

Compartment door can be made of plastic, mirror sheets, glass or wood.

Decorative screen

Plays not only a decorative role in the room, but also performs its functions - it hides the selected area from strangers. It is made in a frame made of wood or metal. The cover material is mostly textile. For folding and unfolding, special loops are built into it.

Most often for the manufacture of screens, fabrics of various textures and colors are used. Due to their lightness, they not only create separate zones, but also carry a decorative function.

The advantages of this partition are that:

The division into zones of a small room with such a screen is considered the easiest and most inexpensive. There are screens, folding - which are with a folding mechanism, and single-screen - a kind of small mobile wall.

Zoning a room with a portable screen can be done at your discretion. It does not take up much space and, if necessary, it can always be removed.

Glass room divider

More often than not, false walls are made of glass. They give the room a stylish look and also make it visually larger.

Why glass? Because it is safe:

  1. First of all, it does not emit toxic substances.
  2. Second, it's completely safe. It is made of impact-resistant materials that will not shatter into fragments upon accidental or intentional impact. Does not deform and does not lose its properties under the influence of moisture.

These glass walls can be used to highlight the bath area, for example. It is enough to choose frosted glass or glass with drawings for this purpose. Also, the glass partition saves space in the room due to thin profiles. Such a separator is difficult to transport and transfer due to its fragility.

Modern designers love glass partitions in the room. Such designs are not bulky, they visually increase the volume of the room and give it airiness, and they can also be beautifully framed in a frame made of plastic or wood.

Retractable Folding Doors

The disadvantages of such doors are that they have rather fragile fittings, so they are installed in places where there is as little traffic to the room as possible. Also, the sound insulation is very weak, almost none due to openings at the top and bottom.

If it is necessary to divide the room into two separate zones, the partition walls move, and if you need one large room, you can easily remove the partition wall.

How to fence off a room with one entrance with curtains

This seems to be the most unpresentable method of dividing a room. But it's not. Curtains should not stand out from the general interior of the room, it is desirable that they flow gently and fall from top to bottom. The convenience is that they are easy to change depending on the mood, holiday. They create comfort. There are three ways curtains work:

  1. The main and most important is the side extension.
  2. Raise up.
  3. May simply flow.

They are perfect for separating the sleeping area. It can be arranged in a fabulous version by making a special canopy. Or use Roman blinds. And it is possible in the form of threads freely descending. In general, massive heavy curtains would be the best option.

Allocation of the sleeping area in the common room with a canopy not only delimits the space, but also looks romantic.

It would seem that this is the cheapest and most rustic way of dividing zones. But it has its advantages - such a section, unlike a stationary partition, is mobile. It can be removed, changed, etc. Compared to a screen, curtains provide a greater sense of privacy.

Space zoning with curtains is the simplest, but very effective way of dividing a room into two parts. Here you can use a variety of techniques and choose different textures of the fabric.

Zoning rooms with two windows furniture

Zoning furniture is perfect for a studio apartment. Here you can use both cabinet and upholstered furniture.

If there are two windows in the hall, you can successfully divide this space into two light zones, just put a rack or wardrobe. In addition, furniture will help to successfully adjust the proportions of the room. It is enough to put a wardrobe-compartment, which will also be a wall separating the bedroom. The main thing is that it should be combined with the interior of the apartment, and not stand absurdly in the middle of the apartment and hide the bed behind it.

There is a non-standard, but very interesting idea for zonal selection. Furniture module with transformation. If you really need to highlight the sleeping area, then a bed built into the wall would be ideal here. During the day it is a closet, rack or shelf, and at night a soft and cozy bed.

Furniture-transformer is convenient for small rooms or in cases where it is necessary to delimit the space. Blocks can be placed separately.

The same goes for the sofa bed. This option is more common in one-room apartments. A cozy soft sofa in the evening becomes a full-fledged place to sleep.

The sofa bed is a great option for sleeping and relaxing. It transforms according to your needs. It can be easily converted from a resting place into a sleeping place.

Separate and organize a sleeping place and a variety of racks with shelves. Also, they must fit into the interior of the home. In addition to the division into zones, they have a practical function of storing various household trifles and decorative elements.

Dividing a room with shelving does not require coordination and repair and will make it possible to change the appearance of the room. At the same time, you can always place many different accessories or things on the rack.

Sofas and chests of drawers are great room dividers for loft-style interiors. Attic style involves casually harmonious placement of furniture around the room. Design - as a result of rich imagination, will turn a cramped room into a spacious apartment.

Look how simple and effective it is to divide a room with two windows by a sofa. No costs, unnecessary construction and repair - just arrange the furniture correctly.

Studio apartment. So you can easily divide the room into two parts with the help of a sofa.

Zonal division of space with color, light and material

How to divide a room into two zones if there is very little space? The physical methods of fission have been described above. And in this case, you need to pay attention to the non-physical.

This is the perfect solution for small apartments and cramped rooms. After all, you can’t put partitions here, and even separation with a curtain may seem ridiculous. It remains to turn on the fantasy and carry out visual zoning.

This is an easy way to visually divide a room into two zones - using different types of wallpaper.

There are several options for this:

With the help of photo wallpaper, you can highlight a separate area and change the overall look of the room.

As it may seem at first glance, highlighting the zone with color is not enough. If you approach illiterately to the solution of this issue, then the apartment will lose harmony and comfort. The colors in the room should be combined with each other. There should be no imbalance. Even having decorated the room in different colors, designers are advised to purchase different decorative elements to match.

For example, a picture with nature is suitable for the green area of ​​the kitchen, a few matching pillows can be thrown on the sofa in a pale pink living room.

Highlighting can be done together with color zoning. That is, each zone in the room must be provided with a separate light source. It can be wall lamps, floor lamps, sconces. But it is obligatory in each allocated zone. Such zoning is also carried out without color schemes on the walls.

Separate lamps or floor lamps can highlight the dining area in the room.

As for zoning with finishing materials, different floor and wall coverings in the zones look great. It brightly catches the eye at the entrance, visually dividing the territory. Such zoning has recently been very fashionable and popular among owners of odnushki. It is produced at the stage of repair and finishing work.

Unusual way of separating the work area with a pedestal.

For example, if you decorate the entrance hall with stone, and highlight the living room with decorative plaster. Drape the bedroom with cozy rugs and blankets, etc. Modern materials will make a small room stylish and non-standard.

This method is good for studio apartments, when the whole apartment is one continuous living area in which you need to find places to sleep, cook and receive guests.

Do not forget about another modern demarcation of the territory - with the help of stretch ceilings. Specialists can install multi-level, single-level ceilings, with or without photo printing, carved and with lamps. It all depends on the planned design in the house.

You can delimit the space with a stretch ceiling.
