An
unwieldly large, living space could be aesthetically, innovatively and
unobtrusively partitioned for varied uses that individual rooms could have
offered.
At
times, people are perplexed over what to do with the large room in their house.
The spacious facility there should be utilized to a varied and maximum usage. A
spontaneous idea emerging out is to put up a temporary partition in the middle,
so as to split the room into two. This simple solution with numerous artistic
variations and creative diversities, but all with the common accomplishment of
putting up a partition will lend the most elegant and contemporary touch to the
entire milieu.
An
easy way to demarcate spaces in a large room would be to simply make use of the
available furniture itself. If a living-cum-dining room is already in
existence, the living room furniture could be used to define the living room
space – The sofa set could just be placed in such a manner that its back faces
the dining room. A storage unit is a very popular method of dividing a large
space. A unit that has open spaces and which can be used from both sides will
be very ideal. To uplift and enhance lights could be added. Storage units are a very clear way of
demarcating space and since they come in different dimensions and one can buy
one that is most ideal and suited for the available space.
Since
historical times, screens have been used to create private spaces and
now-a-days enormous variety of screens are available in stores and suiting
every level of budget. Some of the attractive and beautiful options can be
selected from hand painted screens made of canvas fabric, silk and jute. These
varieties come with added beauty of getting aborned with sequins and
embroidery. Another method of creating the notion of partition is by suspending
items from the ceiling. Odd items like
bells, beads, metal strips and shells could be suspended in a string, which
will form an aesthetic curtain.
Some
create a division in larger rooms by using or placing unusual objects. A couple were using a four-foot canoe in
their living room. This serves two purposes. The curiosity it arouses becomes
the interesting topic of conversation with those who converge there and
simultaneously it is, effective in its function too. For persons who like
plants, placing them inside can create a pleasant, refreshing and
bringing-in-nature ambience. Adding a stray collection of pebbles, proper
lighting and setting of candles, will certainly transform the somber ambience into
a small oasis of greenery quite in the middle of the living room.
Use
of glass for forming partition is a modern option. Pebbled partition could be tried where
pebbles are placed between two sheets of glass. Even going in for a low wall or
ledge and growing plants over that would be an alluring alternative. Glasses
could also be used in the form of blocks and stain glass is also good for this
purpose. The additional advantage in using glass is that is gives an illusion
of space.
If
the interior already possesses and reflects ethnic décor then clay blocks or
red bricks can be artistically used for separating the room for varied uses.
But whatever the method one chooses to create a temporary partition, it should
be ensured that one is able to see bits of the other room, rather than blocking
it from view completely. This sort of partitions reflecting both transparency
and translucency, creates a feeling of space and allows the commingling of
different elements of nature into one organic blend.
