You can use partitions made from pallets - these boards are not located closely. Often, they are made from original folding screens.
Partitions from racks have an incredible number of variations - from simple designs to complex shapes. Such a wooden partition does not weight the space, allows light to penetrate into the separated part of the room.
Usually, the partitions made of wood materials simply cover with varnish, so that the texture can be seen. They are easy to make with their own hands, it is enough to have racks or pallets, transparent lacquer, tools and imagination.
Designer
Design ideas for partitions exist an incredible amount.

Vertical blinds are most often used, but there are exceptions.
Often the interior uses glass partitions together with blinds, but this is more suitable for office or hospital rooms, because it looks very laconic and somewhat "cold."
to the table of contents ^Brick and concrete
In recent years, the Loft style is quite popular, in which brick walls are used for zoning. It is original and beautiful, but it is not always easy to fit such a partition into the design of the room. However, if it succeeds - the effect will be astounding.
Typically, brick partitions are used in living rooms, halls and kitchens, less often in bedrooms. For this element, a lot of space is needed, especially since the brick structure visually "heavier" the room, so this partition fits exclusively for large rooms. A brick partition isolates the rooms from sound only if it is made as a full wall.
Despite its "coldness", brick can create an atmosphere of coziness, if it is to plan a real or false fireplace. This variant of the partition is ideal for country houses.
You can make a brick partition with your own hands, but some negligence will only be a plus for such an interior solution.

to the table of contents ^Furniture
Often furniture cabinets are used - from racks to compartments. But this is not the only option. If you want, you can use almost any furniture, for example, put a sofa in the middle of the room, and divide the kitchen with the dining room into a bar counter. As a partition, you can also use a cabinet with a TV, or a computer desk. And if you add textile to all this, the zones will become much brighter.
Low
Low partitions purely formally divide the room into zones, their only practical application is using as a shelf or table depending on the sizes. Such partitions can be made of any "hard" material: gypsum board, wood, glass, bamboo and so on. Form, color, material - all depends on the destination, interior and imagination of the author.
Plastic
They are not inferior to the glass for a variety of design solutions, in addition, they can be not only static, but also transformable and mobile. This option is useful for rooms with stretch ceilings.
Very convenient and practical plastic partitions in children's rooms. They are safe, easy to clean and can fit into any interior due to the variety of shapes, designs and design.
Sliding
The sliding partition for room zoning can be made of various materials. Glass, for example, is suitable as a partition for the bathroom or shower. The undoubted advantages of such a design - it takes up little space, and can become both a blank wall and a door between two rooms. Modular partitions for the room can be in the form of door-coupe. They will help to divide a large room into two.
Glass
Glass partitions can be stationary and sliding. Typically, designers successfully use them to separate the workplace from the common space, corridors from living rooms.

Such a design solution can be done with our own hands - you just need to decide on the design and dimensions.
The shelving does not overload the space, because light passes through them and, unlike many other types of partitions, they separate the zones in a single space, rather than divide it into separate rooms.
Textile
Fabric partitions are the simplest way to divide a room into zones. Moreover, it's enough just to place on the ceiling guides or a baguette and buy curtains in the right style. At the same time, they can be periodically changed, using alternately dense and lightweight fabrics, beautifully tied, folded, decorated with various trifles.
Such soft partitions are ideal for children and bedrooms, but they are equally interesting in small living rooms. Quite often this option is used by restaurateurs to create cozy isolated zones in the common hall.
