Divide and Conquer: The Subtleties of Correct Space Zoning

Partitions

One of the most obvious ways to delineate the boundaries of a particular zone is to install a partition. In this case, it is not necessary to create a full-fledged wall in the room. The partition can be small or transparent: in both cases, it will cope with its task and not overload the space too much.

Alternatively, you can use a screen. This is a compact and original solution.

Curtains can also perform the function of a partition: thick, transparent, filament. Even chains and garlands falling from the ceiling will do (although it's difficult to call it curtains). One way or another, any of these options fully replaces the partition, requires less effort to install and can provide the degree of closeness you want.

Furniture

Separate furniture elements are capable of zoning the space. For example, a bar counter, open shelving or a low chest of drawers. The main advantage of this approach is functionality, because the furniture, while dividing the space, retains its original purpose.

By arranging furniture, you can also outline certain boundaries. For example, a rectangular sofa composition (or simply an L-shaped sofa) is already visually perceived as a separate area.

Another option is to install furniture (the same sofa) with the back to a different area. Thus, a border immediately appears in space.

Walls

You can visually zone a room using walls of different colors or textures. Of course, in this case, you need to think carefully about their combination.

You can also focus on the zones with the help of paintings, posters and other decorative elements.

Floor

As with walls, flooring for different areas can be made from different materials. You can use one material, but in different colors.

Another option is a stepped floor, that is, floors of different heights.

And the simplest floor solution is carpets. They also always make the apartment more comfortable.

Light

The time of a single crystal chandelier is over. Now you can use a different number of luminaires and lamps and install them where necessary. So, you can designate a dining room or work area with a bright lamp, and with a dim light you can highlight more intimate places in the apartment.

Of course, it is not necessary to be limited to one zoning method. If you think over the combination and use several proposed techniques, the zoning will be more pronounced, and the apartment itself will acquire a unique character.
