Solid Room Dividers

Sometimes it is difficult to install a floor to ceiling solid wall but you can get the same effect with a solid wooden or plaster panel that attaches by 4 sturdy brackets at the base and top. This option is far less aggressive on the wallet and will make installation and removal a whole lot easier.

Greenery Screen Dividers
Plants function as a fantastic opaque divider for when you still want to create a separation of space yet don’t want to create a complete cut-off. Plants however need regular upkeep, watering and trimming so be wise when choosing your type of plant. An easier option of incorporating greenery into your wall divider without constant upkeep is to install a hanging basket or pot display that contains smaller plants or succulents that grow slowly and require less maintenance. A vertical garden containing herbs and small veggies could be the perfect and most practical solution between your kitchen and lounge.

If you are after a low yet distinctive partition, consider putting tall pot plants behind a couch to divide a comfy, relaxing space from a dining or office area. Even though the area is open at eye level, a distinct separation still remains, creating space sub-atmospheres.
Shelving Room Partition
Using an open bookshelf is a fantastically practical use of space. Depending on how you fill the shelves will measure the amount of privacy provided. Open bookshelves can even be inexpensive DIY projects however if you want to display a wide range of heavy and expensive items, it is best to leave the construction to the professionals. Choose one with uniform squares, symmetrical shelves or a random abstract design.

Glass Room Partition
Glass partitions are making a huge breakthrough in the interior design market. With the constant rise in open-plan living desire, walls are getting knocked down and being replaced with glass windows between walls.

The use of glass partitions does not promote privacy however so be wise with where you choose to use it.
