Liven up a room by partitioning the space and redecorating the different spaces. Choose a partition that fits your style. Whether you are remodeling on a budget or just want to hide some unsightly space, you can find a wall partition that will make you the talk of the town. Folded screen panels, regal Shoji sliding panels or a row of bamboo is probably what you need. - Add some sophistication to your room by using an old-fashioned folded screen to separate a room. Many styles are available to select from, including old-fashioned Victorian-style screens or very modern, minimalist metal geometric screens. Add some culture to your room by adding mashrabiya screens or wooden interlacing panels, which have Middle Eastern/Eastern origins. For those on a budget, use PVC pipe to make the desired frame, and drape an attractive fabric to make an individual wall divider for your room.
- If the room allows, consider using the Shoji panels which trace its origins back to Japan. These fabric sliding panels allow some light to enter the room but are opaque enough to allow complete privacy. The wooden panels add an earthy and cultured touch to any room. Use bookcases to separate a room or allow privacy to certain areas of the house. Choose bookcases that are open on both sides so that each side of the room can appreciate what you set on the bookshelves.
- Potted plants can bring a room to life. Use plants like bamboo if you want to have a higher wall divider. Use plants with thicker foliage if you want the wall divider to provide more privacy. Take care that the type of plants have a level of maintenance you are comfortable with. If not, you may want to invest in artificial plants.
