Open living spaces can have a number of benefits, but sometimes organizing it and styling it can be tricky. A room divider is a great way in organizing any open space without crowding the area. Room Sketcher provided some simple do-it-yourself (DIY) yet stylish room dividers that are also very functional.
The site suggests that using an open shelf unit is the best and easiest way to create a functional room divider. It can be styled and designed according to the color or theme that goes with the room.
Aside from providing additional storage, open shelves are also great for displaying home accessories and decorations like vases, pictures and more. When organizing these shelving units, it is best to put larger items at the bottom, while the average-sized items should be placed in the low to middle area. Lastly, the smaller items should be placed on the upper shelves to maintain the open feel of the room.
Lighter Side of Real Estate also suggests materials that can be used other than shelves. The site says that staggered bookcases can be repurposed as dividers, and these can also be designed and painted in any way that will complement the space. If there are no bookcases available, a hanging curtain on a rolling rack can also be used as a great mobile room divider which can be easily placed anywhere in the house.
Old doors can also be transformed into beautiful and stunning room dividers with a little paint and design. Other sturdier options for room dividers are wooden frames with carefully selected fabric to accentuate the room.
Creating room dividers are easier than what most people think. With just a can of paint and a sprinkle of artistry, a functional and stylish room divider can add color and create more function in any room at home.
