Thin partitions for zoning. Carved partitions from MDF laminate

Studio apartments, large premises, country houses, as well as small living spaces need a comfortable arrangement. Choosing a partition for zoning space in a room of any type is the best way to divide a room into several functional areas. And you can use at least 10 materials and types of structures for this.

Interior fences differ from each other in form, method of implementation, mobility and functionality. They can be decorative and discreet, stationary and transformable. The choice of design is influenced by the features of the room and the tasks that the partition should perform: visual separation, complete sound insulation, temporary separation of space.

But they are united by advantages:

• the choice of materials - glass, plastic, wood, drywall, metal - for everyone there is a product "to their liking";
• durability;
• environmental Safety;
• adaptability to the design message;
• aesthetic appeal, accuracy.

Minus decorative fences - low sound insulation. Some options are expensive.

When choosing partitions for zoning space in a room, several parameters are taken into account: the size of the room, its type (living room, bedroom), and the concept of the interior. When designing a room, they take into account what technical characteristics the partition should have. Do you need good sound insulation, how practical will a home-made wall be.

If only a visual separation is required, then choosing heavy stationary materials for zoning is not an option. If there is a lot of space, the technical parameters of the room allow, and the owner wants to get 2 full-fledged rooms from one, then the brick form of the structure is the best choice.

Choice for the living room

A place where people spend a lot of time is often combined with other functions. There are many ideas for partitions for zoning a living room: decorative, stationary, sliding and even hanging. The type of structure for dividing the space of the room is chosen by all family members.

When choosing the color and material of the future product, the furniture set, as well as the space division zone, are taken into account. For example, when separating the kitchen from the living room, it is better not to use wrought iron partitions, as they get very hot.

Combine several types of designs in the living room. Separate the kitchen with a glass or plasterboard partition, and use modular elements - screens to temporarily highlight any area.

The living room uses shelving filled with books, decorative items, plants. This is the most practical of the original methods. Tall structures fill the living room with endless comfort and zone the room well. But the racks can be low - 1-1.5 meters.

Other solutions are successfully written into the living room: bar counters, aquariums, hedges. The last option is most interesting when separating the front of the room, which has a large window (or several).

Bedroom

In small apartments, decorative partitions for zoning the bedroom are used:

• when separating the working area from the place of rest;
• to separate the bathroom;
• when arranging a dressing room or changing area.

Here you can install a glass structure, a carved partition, and a screen, or choose a sliding compartment for a cozy and functional space zoning.

If the bedroom is combined with an office, it is necessary to zone the recreation area: it is psychologically difficult to work in the same room where a person should sleep.

Even a small screen that occupies a minimum of space will have a good effect on well-being and will 100% fulfill the function.

Kitchen

If the enclosing wall is needed in the kitchen, then it is usually used to separate the dining room and the cooking area. Here you should choose practical products that are not afraid of moisture: glass, drywall treated with a special coating, thin plastic, or well-protected wood. If the separating part is installed far from the stove and sink, then you can be more daring in the choice of materials.

An interesting solution is a false partition made of a wooden frame with tightly wound wire. It does not heat up as much as forged metal, allows air to pass through, but prevents strong penetration of odors. The cost of construction, unlike a forged partition, is several times lower.

Children's room

There are 3 zones in the child's room: rest, study, playground. When zoning large rooms, conditions are created for the baby to sleep and play; from a psychological point of view, it becomes easier for him to switch from one type of activity to another.

A practical way to divide the space in such a room is to use shelving with inserted boxes. If the area does not allow, then you can make a sliding structure or create a thin plasterboard partition.

Classification of interior partitions

Structures for separating zones are temporary and permanent - partitions of the first type are mobile, fold and move if necessary. Sliding coupe canvases are also referred to as temporary.

There is another classification:

1. Solid interior railings. They are created from blocks, bricks, glass. Suitable for creating full-fledged rooms from one room.
2. Frame railings. They are made on a metal or wooden frame, inside they are filled with drywall, acrylic, glass and other materials.
3. Non-standard solutions for decorative structures. Often they have only the upper and lower fixing element. For example, a partition made of carved wood in a nursery or bedroom is inserted into the upper and lower brackets, attached to the wall and a vertical rail on the sides.

Partitions are divided according to the type of translucence: transparent or opaque. Glass cloths are opaque, partially opaque, completely transparent. There are block structures that are made of transparent glass, but they greatly distort the space in the fenced area.

glass partition

With the help of glass, you can create an interesting atmosphere in the room. The transparent design looks easy, does not limit the space, but it is better to use such products in homes without children.

If you really want to use such a structure, but a child lives in the apartment, use hardened partitions or plexiglass canvases.

Tempered glass shatters on impact into small pieces that cannot injure a person. If a glass partition is used to separate the bedroom, then choose a matte option.

It is not necessary to use a flat or perforated canvas. There are block structures-cubes: they contain a cavity that creates excellent soundproofing abilities.

Using a frosted glass room divider in the bedroom is the choice for rooms where you want light to enter the room, but don't want to let guests see what's behind the fence. Such a solution is popular in modern minimalist and high-tech interiors.

A glass partition for zoning a room saves space, as it takes up little space and does not put a load on the flooring. Products do not narrow, but create a clear division of the room into functional areas. The only drawback of the decorative area is the inability to hide the wires in it, as well as the need for regular cleaning. Adhering dirt on a large object affects the entire design of the room.

If you apply a textured perforation or a multi-colored pattern to the glass partition, then pollution will not be visible.

Glass can be used in screens, stationary and sliding partitions. They are installed in any conditions, regardless of temperature and humidity in the room.

Mirrored

Partitions made of glass with a reflective coating are often used on hinged or sliding structures. Their main advantage is a significant expansion of space. If you combine matte panels with mirrored ones, you will be able to achieve perfect comfort and visual enlargement of the room.

Sliding partitions

A sliding partition in the room easily divides the space, creates a stylish and functional interior, takes up a minimum of space. Such a partition has impeccable indicators of visual isolation, if you make a floor-to-ceiling structure, then it dampens extraneous sounds well.

Sliding devices are made of different materials:

• glass is used to separate the bathroom and the room, separating one part of the cabinet from the other;
• mobile partitions are great for use in the office, most often they are made of glass;
• if necessary, the partition in the room can move towards the wall, expanding the space (for example, at night, for a more comfortable stay, if the system is installed to separate the living room and bedroom).

You can make a mobile partition for zoning a room from any material you like, it is easy to apply a pattern or embossing on it, creating a beautiful option for a specific interior.

Mirrors are often inserted into the partition for invisible delimitation of the room into zones for the entire area of ​​the sliding structure, or for 2/3, setting the reflective surface in the middle.

The method, due to reflection, greatly expands the space and hides the presence of another zone in the next room. Instead of glass, some people who decide to divide the room into 2 areas use reflective plastic.

Drywall solutions look interesting, on which wallpaper or paint is applied, as on the walls. When using a partition of this type, there is a clear merging of a stationary wall and a mobile structure, not allowing visitors to distinguish another room behind the sliding mechanism.

Stationary partitions

Stationary partitions for space zoning are made of brick, aerated concrete blocks, drywall. The first two options easily replace an ordinary wall and have excellent characteristics:

• high fire safety;
• maximum strength - the structures can withstand heavy shelves, hanging furniture, heavy decor items, decorative dividers can be attached to them;

• durability - brickwork will last 20-30 years, or even longer with proper use;
• environmental resistance - tolerate moisture, high and low temperatures;
• the best soundproofing characteristics when used together with a door.

However, a brick wall as a partition has two drawbacks: solid weight (requires approval and permission), takes up space, which is critical for small rooms.

Fact! Natural brickwork of the wall without decorative finishes is a way of arranging a room in a loft style.

More often, a partition is used between rooms - a dining room and a living room, a living room and a bedroom, if there is enough space for this. You can install it in recreation and work areas. But, if there is no need for complete isolation of the room, then you can choose cheaper and simpler options from drywall or plywood.

At the same time, it should be remembered that the partition will not provide the necessary isolation of extraneous sounds if it is not supplemented with a door. It is also important that it starts from the floor itself and reaches the ceiling - it is a stationary wall.

Such a bold decision - the arrangement of a brick structure without the use of finishing materials - may seem uncomfortable. But, if you correctly calculate the project, choose softening decorative elements or build an artificial (electronic) fireplace into the partition, the atmosphere will turn out to be comfortable, homely.

The use of heavy brick partitions is appropriate in the construction of large country houses, where the first floor is a huge room that requires zoning. It is here that the fireplace looks perfect, and if you add wooden furniture or ceilings, the effect will only intensify.

Wooden partitions

A beautiful decorative wooden partition for zoning a room will fit into any style. Even in the high-tech direction, wood can be used in black or in an unusual shape, painted in other unusual shades.

Wood can be minimalistic or carved. It easily repeats Arabic, ethnic motifs. A variety of options are possible:

• polish the structure, varnish it or choose an initially dark shade of wood, make small even cuts in the partition, and it can be used both in the loft and in high-tech brutalism;
• use natural light wood without gloss, do not mask knots - a great solution for a Scandinavian interior;
• add fabric or paper to the tree, place live plants next to it, and the partition becomes an inspiring touch of eco-style.

A decorative partition for separating space is made of timber, boards, chipboard or MDF boards. Any form of natural wood can be used.

Bamboo stems placed close to each other and tied with natural liana will perfectly complement the ethnic or ecological design.

It is important to treat wooden structures with protective coatings. To increase fire safety, compositions based on anti-flammable agents are recommended.

Using wood to create fencing details is a cozy, eco-friendly choice. The designs look expensive, improve the indoor climate, do not absorb odors and do not emit harmful substances. Here are some more interesting options for wood products:

• carved structures that transmit light well and perform only a decorative function;
• wooden frames for the subsequent creation of partitions with other slabs inside;
• fences that mimic the natural growth of tree branches;
• modular partitions assembled, like a constructor, from different elements;
• thin slats or lining.

Remember that even the most beautiful wooden structures, such as openwork branches or bamboo stems, are difficult to fit into simple interiors and attract too much attention.

Shelving as a partition

Room dividers - fixed or sliding - are suitable for most rooms. But furniture that acts as a zoning fragment looks no less profitable and interesting. Shelving as a similar fragment is a practical solution.

There are several designs with closed or open shelves that are suitable for arranging the living room, dining room and bedroom. You can also use them in the children's room. Here are just a few features:

• shelving is easy to install, like ordinary furniture, some of them are fixed on the floor, others just stand like a closet;
• practical designs are often used "through" - without a back wall, creating a small view through the cells;

• half empty cells can be filled with sliding boxes and boxes;
• designer racks can be not only square, but also diamond-shaped, performing the function of an impeccable shelf for books and magazines;
• on rectangular cells, you can install doors or roller blinds with or without locks.

Dividing partitions in the form of racks are high and low. The design, reaching 1-1.5 m in height, is suitable for use between a sofa and a bed, or in the dining area. Such racks are successfully used in children's rooms, dividing the zone of games and study.

By a similar principle, shelving can be used to separate the work area from the main room. The space is cozy and practical. Other variations:

• in one rack, you can combine several options for compartments: make large drawers at the bottom, install drawers above, and put opening doors even higher, leaving the last 2 rows open;
• the rack that separates the bed from the living room looks interesting, if you make it deaf, and in the center make room for the TV;

• between the dining area and the living room, shelving with enlarged cells is used - this way the effect of a spacious area is preserved, but interesting zoning is obtained;
• the rack can be narrow, with frequent shelves on which accessories and other necessary things are placed - the option can be used in a dressing room or bathroom;
• racks can be asymmetrical, combined: vertical parts are made of metal tubes, and wooden shelves are located between them.

An attractive feature of shelving among many other options is their ability to transmit light and highlight different areas, while maintaining the integrity of the room. In some rooms, due to the effect, it is possible to achieve a visual expansion of the area, preventing isolation.

Partition screen for zoning a room

Do-it-yourself room zoning will help a screen - one of the most ancient types of partitions, created in China and migrated to the interiors of the Arab countries, and then Europe. At first, screens were made of wood, paper or fabric, handicrafts were also used to decorate products: drawings, embroideries, stones and other design elements were applied.

The first screens, like many other interior items in the East, contained phrases and runes that scared away evil spirits.

A modern screen can be made of fabric, paper, plastic, wood and drywall. If the screen is used as a wardrobe element, then on the inside you can attach small shelves for accessories and hooks for clothes.

It should be borne in mind that paper structures, as well as screens made of light fabric, are not designed for any bearing loads. Here are some more examples of a mobile partition in the form of a screen:

• mobility - it is easy to move it for temporary separation of private space;
• functionality - a folding screen with hinges can be folded and removed, or placed against the wall, turning it into a design element of the room;
• glass panels can be placed inside the screen on a metal frame.

Structures with which it is easy to divide the space are made in several versions: simple structures with or without legs, products on wheels, wooden screens with the effect of blinds instead of simple panels.

Drywall partitions

Plasterboard partitions are one of the best ways to zone any space. GKL panels create stationary structures with a door installed in the frame. They are used for partial separation of space, and are also used for decorative purposes.

Among the advantages of zoning with a plasterboard partition are:

• durability;
• ease of installation and decoration;
• good soundproofing properties when using solid structures;
• you can create curved lines, uneven shapes.

However, with impacts, strong shocks, drywall cracks, dents and holes form. It is not recommended to place heavy shelves and equipment on such structures. If it is intended to use such elements, then a metal frame is used when installing the product.

Drywall is a material with which the most unusual products are created for zoning the kitchen and dining room, living room and dining room, bedroom and hall, nursery.

Drywall partitions are made in a straight or curved form. Inside, additional sound or heat insulating materials are often installed. Wavy details look unusual, with the help of which they smoothly separate the work area from the rest area.

It is easy to create a partition from drywall that completely imitates part of the wall: put the structure in the middle of the room, install a nightstand next to it on one side, and hang a TV on the wall. On the other hand, you can beat the hallway or dining area.

Drywall is often used to implement arched openings. Inside, small recesses are made that serve as shelves. These recesses can be through or deaf.

Plastic partitions for zoning

When zoning a room with a partition, you can use plastic elements. The structures are lightweight and embody different ideas of designers. Plastic structures are suitable for sliding, transformable and stationary systems. Often mobile screens are made from the material. PVC structures look beautiful in rooms with a stretch ceiling.

In terms of variety, plastic partitions are not inferior to glass ones, and even outperform them in terms of cost, safety and weight. But only if PVC is used, made using modern technologies without the use of hazardous formaldehydes and metallic substances. Do not install plastic structures if there are people in the family who are prone to allergies.

It is easy to create openwork structures and decorative fences from acrylic canvases:

• partitions with cells, drawings;
• translucent installations with built-in micro-lighting;
• matte or completely transparent structures;
• wave-like glossy designs that reflect light;
• light structures, visually indistinguishable from glass.

The disadvantage of an acrylic or plastic wall is that it is electrostatic. Products attract, like a magnet, any dust. You can solve the problem if you use special tools to relieve static voltage.

But on the other hand, such an advantage as impact resistance compensates for a small lack of plastic. Even if a crack appears, the partition will not crumble into many fragments.

Fabric partitions for zoning

Fabric curtains or blinds look beautiful in any apartment decor. They are able to complement even minimalist hi-tech without pretensions to the overall interior: hang a thick black curtain on the grommets between the sofa and the dining area, made with the addition of the same shade.

Natural fabrics are hypoallergenic materials that can be used in different rooms. Additionally, they are treated with safe impregnations that repel dust. But even with the use of such products, the curtains need regular washing. The use of polyester materials in residential premises is not recommended: they impede air circulation, contribute to the development of allergies and strongly attract dust.

Thick fabrics for curtains can be used for a little soundproofing. In the bedroom, to separate the work area and the relaxation area, create a two-level structure of dense fabrics and weightless tulle.

The combination of materials that differ in texture will help create interesting solutions. A dense fabric completely isolates the light, and if you leave tulle under it, then during the day the curtains are moved to the sides, and a weightless curtain softens the light that enters the room.

A few features of fabric partitions:

• light curtain structures are installed under the ceiling for attaching fabric;
• if a fixed curtain is used, it can be fixed on the eaves without guides from below and above;
• fabric is used on wooden and metal frames of mobile structures - screens.

Fabric blinds are used in different interior styles. They can be dense or very thin, wide or narrow, vertical and horizontal. Blinds are easy to install anywhere, sometimes they are made stationary, and the thickness of the strips reaches 1-1.5 m.

Movable blinds are used if control of the light entering the room is required. Horizontal blinds are also used as a building envelope. For example, it is convenient to install them between the kitchen and the dining area or integrate them into the screen canvas. In addition to fabric, light plastic (acrylic) is used for blinds.

Threads and ropes

Curtains made of decorative threads or ropes look unusual. You can use them in any interior, as the material is selected differently: beads, fishing line, braided ropes, light fabric.

Rope partitions are installed in 2 ways: fastening to the ceiling or double mounting with strong thread tension.

Wrought iron partitions

Forged products look unusual, elegant and can be used in different design directions. Decorative elements easily repeat tree branches, asymmetric and abstract lines, hedges and smooth transitions.

The cost of a forged structure is high, as it requires the approach of a real artist and the ability to work with metal.

Forged products are light, openwork, but in a more rigorous version they can be dense. You can find a master who will make a beautiful partition in companies involved in the design and manufacture of stairs.

Well "feel" forged elements in the style of Art Deco, Art Nouveau. They will also fit into the bionic direction, and if you give the design straight, rough lines and complement it with wood, then it will suit the loft interior.

Minimalistic, straight lines fit into high-tech design and other modern trends.

A wrought iron partition can be combined with glass frescoes or hedges - it looks unusual, stylish, suitable for creating maximalist interiors.

Other options

For zoning a room, designers often use tricky tricks:

Unusual solutions for creating enclosing structures in an apartment or house use all available materials. Designers are able to bring to life the strangest, boldest and brightest ideas.

Technology for creating a decorative partition

Decorative products can be made independently, using good materials and reliable tools. At home, masters most often use drywall - a pliable material from which durable and beautiful structures are obtained.

The use of glass or metal is not possible in such conditions.

Processing products requires skills and professional equipment.

An approximate technology for creating a decorative fence for zoning a room using drywall:

After installation, the partition is decorated with coatings, stick photo wallpapers or other elements.

The choice of the type and material of the partition for zoning the space in any room depends on many factors. Some of them can be taken into account, guided by certain rules and guides. If complex zoning is planned, and it is difficult to understand the features of the room on your own, you should contact a specialist. The master will select the ideal plan for arranging reliable, functional and beautiful enclosing elements.

After all, they can perform a different function, based on the overall design of housing.

They are made from a variety of materials. They are used for zoning rooms, supports in the storage system, equip video zones, and even they simply perform a decorative function.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the photo of the interior partitions presented in this article.

To some extent, an interior partition can be called the same wall, but in a simpler and lighter version. The main task of this design is to divide the space, that is, to zone it. They can be deaf, combined, transparent.

Stationary partitions - an alternative to the wall

There are interior partitions made of drywall, as well as brick, stone, foam concrete, wood, and glass blocks. They help not only to zone the space, but also isolate the sound.

In addition, they are endowed with excellent moisture resistant properties, are quite durable and will last a long time. You can even attach fixtures like shelves, hangers, TVs, etc. to them.

Partitions, which are called screens, are some kind of supports with material attached to them, like a screen. Based on how complex this design is, as well as on the material used, they are installed independently, or with the help of specialists.

In general, such options are quite strong, but boxes with shelves cannot be attached to them. They have the advantage of not being able to completely isolate light between rooms.

Interior partitions in an apartment in the form of shelving have gained considerable popularity today. They are open, combined, from the floor or at a distance from it.

It all depends on how exactly the furniture is located in the partition installation area. The rack can be double-sided, deaf on one side. Such designs are strong and durable.

Fireplace construction is one of the interesting ways of construction. The hearth duct is located in the septal cavity, for which it will have a considerable internal space.

The advantage of this fireplace design - inside the partition - is the ability to observe the flame from any part of the room. At the same time, the designs are endowed with a disadvantage. After all, to install a fireplace in a high-rise building, you must obtain the appropriate permits.

There may be partitions representing a complex of storage systems along with work surfaces and household appliances. For example, see the following photos of partitions.

Rotary partitions, sliding

Sliding interior partitions are a functional element for the interior of housing. Such designs allow you to be walls and doors at the same time. Regardless of the way they are opened, the main task still remains to zone the space.

With the help of partition walls made of glass, functional areas are effectively fenced off. For example, if the living room is combined with the bedroom, the recreation area with the help of such a partition is separated just fine!

The same applies to the working area, dining room, children's room, if it is combined with the hall. Thanks to such partitions, additional sound insulation is created in the room, and they serve a lot. Well, you will have to think about how to make an interior partition of such a plan, since it will be quite difficult to make and install it yourself.

Variants of sliding partitions working on the principle of horizontal blinds will look great, especially if they are made of wood, combined with the main interior design.

Vertical rotary options of partitions help to create a different level of closeness in the functional area. Such options are often equipped with an electric drive, as well as a remote control.

And the easiest way to install partitions for zoning or separating parts of rooms from each other is the simplest, textile curtains that you can now buy in any design.

Photo of interior partitions in the interior

AT zoning living space laid the deep meaning of human existence. We want peace and quiet in the bedroom, a focused mood in the work office, cozy rest in a secluded corner. However, we do not always have the opportunity to carry out a large-scale redevelopment of an apartment or house. And what to do? Easy to assemble and easy to place, sliding room dividers are a practical alternative to a major space makeover.

Zoning techniques

The versatility of the use of sliding partitions is really appreciated by the owners of spacious apartments, and owners of modest "odnushki". A simple and practical design allows you to make significant changes in the look of your home, combining stylish decor with the necessary functionality.

In the first place in the methods of space zoning with the help of sliding partitions is the separation of the kitchen and living room.

By removing a monolithic wall and installing a movable structure that can both increase and decrease the room, we solve two problems at once - firstly, we move the partition apart and get free access from the kitchen to dining room, without unnecessary doors and narrow passages. Secondly, we move the partition walls - and restore the boundaries of the front room and kitchen.

In the conditions of modern versatility of living space, one of the most interesting interior solutions is partitions for zoning.

They are convenient not only in large areas, but also in small studio apartments. Partitions can make even housing in the houses of the "Khrushchev" era more functional. The main thing is to know the features of different types of this interior element and be able to choose them depending on the purpose and aesthetics of the room.

Partitions for zoning space in the room

Partitions for isolating one part of the room from another help to create cozy corners throughout the house for various activities and people with different habits, temperaments, etc. Such zoning creates psychological comfort and will give a special charm to staying in such a space.

Sliding

This is one of the most convenient types of zoning elements. They are a canvas that can be made of plywood, chipboard, plastic, glass, etc. You will need a glass cutting tool.

This canvas is attached using special fittings and guide rails, consisting of one, two or three rails.

One, two or more canvases may or may not be framed.

Sliding elements can move in one or two directions. They can be straight or semi-circular, depending on the design features and characteristics of the space.

Handles can be attached to sliding structures, or they can be built into the canvas itself or cut out in it.

Sliding structures make a large space cozy

According to their design features, they can be of three main types:

• Rail. This is the most reliable type, it repeats the design of wardrobe doors and can be mounted after the repair has been made.

  Rail structures are sometimes somewhat cumbersome, but very reliable.

• Non-threshold. In the case of stretch or suspended ceilings, niches are provided for the installation of partitions. But on the other hand, there are no rails on the floor, which is very convenient if there are small children in the house.

  Non-threshold partitions - it's convenient and beautiful

• Partitions-accordions. They look like screens. They look unusual when folded and are very space-saving: if desired, they can be moved apart to the very walls. Them more often. than others, they are made by hand.

  Sliding accordion partitions look very original

Sliding partitions have much more advantages than any other. That is probably why they are so popular:

• sliding partitions visually isolate parts of the room that have different functions, create a sense of security and give comfort;
• they can always be easily removed and make the space more accessible and open;
• they are also good because sometimes an outsider may not even guess that instead of a real wall he sees a decorative one. But no permission is required for the construction of a partition, as for a full-fledged redevelopment;
• any material for manufacturing can be chosen: depending on the taste, style of the room or financial capabilities.

Sliding partitions can be a highlight of the interior

The disadvantages include, first of all, poor sound insulation. The sound is practically not delayed by this type of “walls”, since they themselves have a minimum thickness, as well as gaps at the bottom and top for free movement of the canvases.

Openwork

Openwork partitions are made of perforated panels. They can protect from too bright daylight, the sun, or they can simply be an aesthetic element that divides the room into zones.

Openwork partitions create a feeling of lightness of the interior

Made from solid wood, plywood, MDF and even acrylic. They can separate parts of the hall, hall, separate the dining area from the cooking area, the children's part of the bedroom from the territory of the parents.

An openwork partition is appropriate in a room where you need to unobtrusively separate the recreation area

They give a special charm and coziness to any space.

Openwork partitions can repeat the lines of plants that are in the room

Recently, even carved acrylic partitions have appeared.

Acrylic openwork can be made to order according to a unique sketch

They are light compared to wooden ones, very elegant, delicate, reminiscent of lace in the interior and create a cozy, gentle and romantic atmosphere.

Openwork partitions attract the eye in the interior

Openwork lets light through. If it is necessary to partition off a room with one window, this becomes a suitable option: no part of the room will remain completely shaded.

Openwork panels can be installed at any stage of home improvement, even after the final completion of the repair. True, in this case, the decorative wall cannot always be rigidly attached to the ceiling, walls or floor. But since the openwork wall is usually not used as a place to store any items, hard fasteners are not necessary.

But such a light wall can always be dismantled and replaced with something new.

They often serve a purely decorative function. They do not create a complete sense of privacy. And it is not always easy to choose a pattern that fits well into a particular interior.

glass

Glass partitions are one of the most modern and aesthetic options. They are made of durable glass with a thickness of 8-12 mm.

Glass looks very modern in the interior

It can be tempered, reinforced glass or triplex - laminated glass, which does not become less transparent from this, but can even have bulletproof properties. Glass walls come in several types:

• stationary and transformable;
• sliding and folding;
• clear glass, frosted or patterned.

Frosted glass in partitions looks noble

Glass partitions in the bathroom are ideal

There are many advantages. Glass will remain a relevant material in the interior for a long time, because you can talk endlessly about its advantages.

1. Glass transmits light very well. Therefore, even in spite of complete insulation, such a transparent wall does not interfere with the full use of even a separated part if there is only one window in the room. The visual lightness is preserved.
2. If such a wall is fixed permanently, then the sound insulation is approximately equal to that created by a purely concrete wall. This is very convenient if a partition separates the children's area and the adult area in the dormitory: this way you can watch a small child without fear of disturbing his sleep. In the future, such a transparent wall can be easily turned into an opaque one by sticking a special film on it for every taste.
3. It can be successfully used in rooms with a high degree of humidity: for example, in the kitchen or in the bathroom.
4. It has good heat-resistant qualities, therefore it has excellent fire-fighting properties.
5. Pretty strong and durable material. Can stay new in appearance for many years as it undergoes a special anti-shock treatment. In case of sudden destruction, it breaks into harmless pieces.

Frosted glass partitions are easy to maintain and always look neat

If you want complete isolation, it does not give the feeling of being closed.

Not suitable for zoning children's rooms: for them it is too uninteresting material. In addition, despite the good shockproof properties, without adult supervision, children still should not play in the immediate vicinity of such walls.

Glass partitions let in natural light well

From drywall

This is the most common type of partitions. They have been installed for a long time and often, since installation does not require any special skills: any construction company will take on such an order.

Drywall allows you to make structures of any shape

A plasterboard wall visually does not differ at all from a solid concrete wall and surpasses a brick wall in its soundproofing properties.

Drywall is reliable

Open shelves can be built into drywall partitions

Partitions of this type are installed most often. They can be plastered, painted, wallpapered, etc. They are also convenient because:

• inexpensive;
• allow you to place wires and cables inside;
• environmentally friendly, safe for nearby children;
• heat and sound insulation of such walls is possible;
• do not need leveling like brick or uneven concrete walls.

Drywall is convenient in that it can be painted in the desired color

Drywall is not very moisture resistant and not very durable. Therefore, it is not always possible to install it in the kitchen and it is generally not recommended to zone the bathroom or nursery with it.

Drywall partition can be made according to an individual project

Wooden

Wooden walls for zoning space look quite diverse. They may be:

• frame, in which wood is used only as a frame, and the rest of the space is filled with any other material;
• panel or board, when the boards are simply stuffed solid to imitate an ordinary wall;

Partitions made of wood are easy to do with your own hands

Wood can be stained, stained or varnished. Sometimes it is also plastered and covered with wallpaper. But experts advise making wooden partitions only in frame wooden houses, since the material from which the walls are made will completely coincide with the characteristics of the material of the partition frame. Therefore, there will be less likelihood of cracks, gaps, etc.

Wooden partitions are comfort

Wooden structures for zoning are very popular. They are loved because they:

• environmentally friendly;
• pleasing visually;
• can provide a large number of partition design options.

Partitions made of wood cannot be used in rooms of 1-3 degrees of fire hazard. For example, it is forbidden to do this in multi-apartment residential buildings. That is, it is possible only in private homes.

Wood is best not used in bathrooms or can only be used after a thorough water-repellent treatment.

Mobile screens

Mobile structures often include precisely those that can not only be moved apart or folded, such as, for example, sliding, made with an accordion, but those that can be folded and moved from room to room. For example, ordinary screens.

Screens can look luxurious

They are very easy to make by hand: it is enough to have a few wooden slats, furniture hinges and the material from which the screen will be made. It can be fabric, paper, thin slats, etc.

The screen can be updated by changing the paper or fabric stretched over the base

The mobile partition can be easily moved throughout the apartment if necessary.

It is also convenient that the screen can be made literally from auxiliary materials, it is easy and inexpensive.

Zoning with mobile partitions can be done in any style

The disadvantages include the fact that mobile zoning tools only conditionally divide the space without providing complete isolation.

Lighter than a screen, it is difficult to come up with a partition for zoning

Partition shelving

Cabinets and racks have always been used in the interior for zoning space. These can be cabinets with closed shelves and a partial open storage system.

Partition cabinets can have closed and open sections

And there may be shelving with through shelves. In this case, the rack is used both as a decorative element of the interior and as shelves for flowers, books, souvenirs and other decor items.

These are not the most durable elements for zoning. And the filling of shelving should be treated with great moderation so as not to violate the aesthetics of the room and not overload the structure.

Shelving when zoning makes space easy

Decorative curtains-partitions

Curtains decorate not only windows and doors. Textiles have been used as partitions for a very long time. It can be changed more often than doing a full-fledged repair with the construction of new stationary or sliding partitions.

Curtains-partitions always lighten the interior

The most common ways to use such curtains is to separate the sleeping area from the living room or office. A variety of materials are used for curtains.

Soft curtains-partitions are the best suited for the bedroom

Textile partitions allow the necessary amount of daylight to pass through, which will not make the separated corner completely dark.

Light curtains not only divide the room into zones, but also bring a festive touch to the interior.

Partition curtains are easy to choose for a specific interior and take care of them. For their installation, it is enough just to hang a curtain from the ceiling.

Textile partitions are not only zoning, but also room decoration

Fabric partitions do not delay sound at all and are not always suitable where personal space is needed.

In a one-room apartment, a textile partition will reliably protect a sleeping place from prying eyes

Plastic

Plastic structures for zoning are structures made of a PVC frame with glass or plexiglass inserts. They are rarely used in residential areas.

Even plastic partitions can look very gentle

This material is more convenient in bathrooms and in the kitchen, where frequent cleaning is required and there is high humidity.

In the kitchen, plastic partitions are very appropriate.

Plastic is easy to care for. It is quite strong and quite light.

Plastic in space zoning is difficult to distinguish from frosted glass

Plastic is a rather unfriendly material. It is best to avoid it when arranging children's rooms.

Partitions made of plastic can be successfully combined with Roman blinds or ordinary curtains.

Plastic partitions are very convenient in the bathroom

Zoning with partitions is a very relevant way to make the space more functional and comfortable. In addition, it allows you to be creative when decorating the interior.

Partitions are an integral part of many design projects, because they are original, practical and beautiful. Especially when it comes to small apartments in which you need to divide the space into zones for different needs without wasting space. There are many types of partitions, and we will talk about them in this article.

Acrylic

Acrylic is impact-resistant, lightweight and flexible, allowing for a wide variety of shapes to be realized in this material. Partitions made of this material are an excellent solution for any premises, because they are safe and easy to install.

Acrylic partitions can have not only a variety of shapes, but also colors (from standard transparent to gold or silver). They can be monolithic and openwork.

Bamboo

A bamboo product can be both a light partition and a massive decorative element. It depends on the thickness of the bamboo stems, so thin stems are better for small spaces. Such screens are light and practical, they can be carried depending on the need. However, bamboo is a very specific material that may not fit into every interior.

Plasterboard

Universally suitable for zoning any room. A plasterboard partition can radically change the space of a room, while it can be a deaf soundproof wall or an insignificant structure that partially changes the perimeter.

The undoubted advantages of drywall are ease of installation and finishing: it is easy to plaster, suitable for any type of finishing materials. But it is not recommended to place shelves and other heavy elements on plasterboard structures, it is too fragile. Either initially it is necessary to provide for this and strengthen the metal structure at the time of installation.

Another plus is that it is quite possible to create a curvilinear structure with smoothly curved borders from drywall.

Wooden

Wooden partitions can be made of different materials, depending on their type and purpose. For example, partitions made of chipboard can be of various shapes - from shelves to a blank wall. They definitely require additional decoration.

You can use partitions made of pallets - these are boards not located close to each other. Often they make original folding screens.

Partitions made of slats have an incredible number of variations - from simple designs to complex shapes. Such a wooden partition does not weigh down the space, allows light to penetrate into the separated part of the room.

Usually partitions made of wooden materials are simply varnished so that the texture is visible. They are easy to make with your own hands, you just need to have slats or pallets, clear varnish, tools and imagination.

Designer

There are an incredible amount of design ideas for partitions. Most often, modern designers create simple and very unusual options for partitions, for example, hanging vinyl records, disks or car numbers. There are false partitions made from stretched ropes, plastic bottles, screens from old multi-colored doors, fishing nets, and even a designer.

Partitions made of many threads decorated with beads look very interesting and easy. A partition made of stretched chains can fit into a bold modern design.

For a room decorated with eco-friendly materials, or for a country house, a partition made of stumps and twigs is acceptable. There are partitions made of paper, for example, silhouettes of multi-colored butterflies on transparent threads. Partitions from old window frames with and without glass are perfect for a retro-style interior.

Mirrored

Mirrors always add light and expand the space, as well as successfully hide what is behind them. The sliding partition design, reminiscent of a closet, can combine both a mirror and a solid door. In this unusual way, you can hide the dressing room and storage rooms. Both practical and beautiful. And most importantly, much more and more economical than a closet.

live

The original option is to create partitions of greenery and fresh flowers in the room. This method will help to refresh any interior, but is more suitable for large rooms.

The easiest way to create such a partition is to place a large number of different plants on whatnots. It is important to understand that plants need good lighting.

You can implement a more complex option - to grow a "green wall" from weaving plants or moss. It looks very cool, but such a partition needs constant care and a special microclimate.

A large aquarium can also be used as a partition; such an unusual solution will enliven the room. But this element of the interior needs constant care.

As a partition, you can organize your own waterfall.

From the blinds

Hanging partitions made of blinds will be a good alternative to fabric ones. They are easy to install, quite practical and varied in shape and color. They can be removed as soon as they are no longer needed, in addition, they allow light to pass through and do not take up much space, which is great for small rooms. Most often, vertical blinds are used, but there are exceptions.

Often, glass partitions are used in the interior along with blinds, but this is more suitable for office or hospital premises, as it looks very concise and somewhat “cold”.

Brick and concrete

In recent years, the Loft style has been quite popular, in which brick partitions are used for zoning. This is original and beautiful, but it is not always easy to correctly fit such a partition into the design of the room. However, if it succeeds, the effect will be amazing.

Usually brick partitions are used in living rooms, halls and kitchens, less often in bedrooms. Such an element requires a lot of space, especially since the brick structure visually “weights” the room, so this partition is suitable only for large rooms. A brick partition isolates the premises from sound only if it is made as a full-fledged wall.

Despite its “coldness”, a brick can create an atmosphere of comfort if a real or false fireplace is planned into it. This version of the partition is ideal for country houses.

You can make a brick partition with your own hands, while some negligence will only be a plus for such an interior solution.

forged

Luxurious wrought iron partitions are suitable for large spaces. Cold, but very beautiful openwork partitions are used for zoning large halls and living rooms. They can be not only stationary, but also mobile - in the form of screens. Such forged screens, especially white, can organically fit into the interior of the bedroom in the style of "Shebi chic".

Often, wrought iron partitions do not find practical application - they are just a cold and stylish element of decor.

Furniture

Often, cabinets are used as furniture partitions - from shelving to compartments. But this is not the only option. If desired, you can use almost any furniture, for example, put a sofa in the middle of the room, and separate the kitchen from the dining room with a bar counter. As a partition, you can also use a cabinet with a TV, or a computer desk. And if you add textiles to all this, then the zones will become much more pronounced.

Low

Low partitions purely formally divide the room into zones, their only practical use is to use them as a shelf or table, depending on the size. Such partitions can be made of any "hard" material: drywall, wood, glass, bamboo, and so on. Shape, color, material - it all depends on the purpose, interior and imagination of the author.

Plastic

They are in no way inferior to glass ones in terms of the variety of design solutions, in addition, they can be not only static, but also transformable and mobile. This option is convenient to use for rooms with stretch ceilings.

Plastic partitions in children's rooms are very convenient and practical. They are safe, easy to clean and can fit into any interior thanks to the variety of shapes, designs and designs.

Sliding

A sliding partition for zoning a room can be made of various materials. Glass, for example, is suitable as a partition for a bathroom or shower. The undoubted advantages of this design are that it takes up little space, and can become both a blank wall and a door between two rooms. Modular partitions for a room can be in the form of sliding doors. They will help to divide a large room into two.

glass

Partitions from glass can be stationary and sliding. Usually designers successfully use them to separate the workplace from the common space, corridors from living rooms. The main advantage of such partitions is light transmission, so glass partitions can be used in rooms with one window. Their disadvantage is that they practically do not perform a soundproofing function.

Frosted glass partitions are more often installed in bathrooms, but they are also great for kitchens, offices, halls and office and hospital spaces. In addition, glass partitions can be made in different colors, which allows them to fit into almost any interior.

There are stained glass partitions, however, this option is only suitable for the corresponding interior. These bright and original designs can serve not only as a means of zoning, but also as an element of decor.

Shelving

One of the most functional types of partitions. Shelves for zoning also serve as a place to store things. For example, very often they are used to separate the workplace from the common room. In this case, books and stationery can comfortably sit on the shelves. A similar design decision can be made with your own hands - you just need to decide on the design and dimensions.

Shelves do not overload the space, as light passes through them and, unlike many other types of partitions, they highlight zones in a single space, and do not divide it into separate rooms.

Textile

Fabric partitions are the easiest way to divide a room into zones. Moreover, it is enough just to place rails or a baguette on the ceiling and buy curtains in the desired style. At the same time, they can be periodically changed, using alternately dense and light fabrics, beautifully tied up, laid in folds, decorated with various little things.

Such soft partitions are ideal for nurseries and bedrooms, but they look no less interesting in small living rooms. Quite often, this option is used by restaurateurs to create cozy isolated areas in the common room.

Screens

This type of partitions was invented in ancient China, they were used to protect against evil spirits. The first screens were made of paper and fabric, decorated with paintings and stones. Now screens are made from a variety of materials and serve as decorative partitions for zoning space.

There are many options for making partition screens and both traditional materials (fabrics, thick paper) and modern ones (for example, plastic, acrylic) can be used for them. You can place hooks and small shelves and pockets for clothes and accessories on the inside of the screen, then it will also serve as a dressing room.
