An open plan is beautiful and modern, but it is not always practical. For this reason, sometimes solutions are required to divide and separate spaces, to give them privacy, to set limits, to create private spaces.
Luckily to separate or divide spaces there are infinite ideas and options; I have collected 20 ideas. Some are more elaborate and expensive than others, easier and faster to carry out, but all of them will help you divide and separate environments in your home.
Take note that we started.
Wood Ribbons
REFORM AND INTERIOR DESIGN BY ESTUDIO SINCRO
Wood slats, either vertically or horizontally, are an excellent resource for separating and dividing spaces.
Wood is easy to treat and a multitude of dividers and panels can be custom designed easily and without damage.
Naturally, depending on the separation between the ribbon and the ribbon, we will achieve more or less privacy.
Lattices
Lattice panels on Etsy
This is another solution to divide spaces easily.
We can make the lattices on site, heavier and more difficult to remove in the future, or we can use this type of panels, which are joined by hooks, creating the dividing screen as large as we need.
A wide variety of designs, materials and colors are available and are extremely easy to install.
Naturally, they do not require any type of work.
You can buy them here on Etsy.
Forging
One or more wrought iron panels, with the decorative motif of our liking, is another of the resources that we can use to divide environments.
Of course, depending on the framework and the drawing of the forge, the separator will offer more or less privacy.
In this case, a custom-made piece of furniture in the hall area with a white forged framework with the drawing of a flower, separates and divides the hall from the living room.
Curtains

Another classic. The simplest to carry out and surely also the most economical.
Curtains, either translucent or opaque.
Although it is better opaque, since if it is to divide the bedroom, you can achieve a greater degree of privacy and darkness.
Blooming
Blooming is a Dutch design room divider, which works as a curtain in which the fabric is a faceted lattice, where each piece can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust the light that passes through or give the curtain a different design.
It is practical, simple and very decorative, but its price is somewhat high.
Custom furniture
REFORM AND INTERIOR DESIGN BY ESTUDIO SINCRO
Any architect or interior designer would be happy to design a furniture or structure that divides spaces adapted to your needs.
One of the most functional solutions and where space is best used, since the divider is not only such, but also has a practical use, as in this room that we see above these lines designed by the Sincro studio, where they created a structure dividing between kitchen and living room, where you can also house the television.
Let’s continue with more solutions.
Shelves
With the shelves we can also easily separate or divide spaces, letting the light pass from one to another if we choose an open shelf, and giving each space a certain level of privacy, in addition to adding a storage space that never hurts anywhere. home.
Different heights

Instead of separating spaces using a vertical format, we can also play with different levels of heights to define areas.
It is not an option that can be done in all homes, but if you have space, it is an effective and practical solution, since you take advantage of the vertical space.
Mirror partition

Another way in which we can divide rooms is to first pull down the wall and then raise a dividing partition that does not completely divide the room, but rather leaves a good step, and line one of the faces of said partition with a mirror sheet, to multiply the light and visually expand the space, as we see above these lines.
Half wall

Practical and economical. A half wall or partition that reaches a certain height is another resource to separate spaces.
Whether in the kitchen or in any other space, raising a wall does not cost anything. In two days they have lifted it for you.
Vertical supports for plants

Another beautiful and decorative way to divide environments is by using some type of vertical support for plants, such as the Socker from Ikea, with which we can separate spaces while decorating with beautiful plants.
Interior enclosures

An effective and definitive solution. Interior enclosures are the order of the day. Glass panels in an iron frame in black is what it takes.
Although they are also made of PVC that are lighter and easier to install.
By substituting a classic partition for an enclosure of this type, we will gain light and visual amplitude, and the two areas will remain independent.
Glass paves

Another resource with which we can continue to gain light and provide privacy to the spaces when we divide them are the glass paves, or glass brick.
They are relatively simple to install, by means of a minor work, and the best thing about this material is that it lets in light, while providing privacy.
In addition, they are available in a wide variety of colors and finishes.
Wooden planks
As a DIY, we can also create a wall or half wall with wooden planks, which acts as a space separator, while adding warmth to the environment.
The planks cover a lot of surface and with just a few we can create a good screen.
We can put them diagonally and vertically, as we see in the image above these lines, horizontally, or in other positions that, in addition to separating environments, provide a decorative point to the space.
Strings

A curtain of ropes, in this case made with natural fibers, tied to a support at both ends, act as a space separator.
With wooden pallets
Economical and with a versatile power to transform into anything like no other object, wooden pallets can also be used to divide environments.
Paint them or natural, as they best suit your space.
Glass
Photography Concept Glass
Translucent, opaque, mirrors, classics … The world of glass gives us a lot of versatility when it comes to separating spaces.
It is a sophisticated solution that requires the hands of professionals, but once installed, the result is perfect.
Screens
Another classic that could not be missed when it comes to separating environments.
The classic screen, today rejuvenated and again at the forefront of the avant-garde.
Very decorative, with a certain romantic charm and without the need for any work. Remove and put.
This one that we see above these lines with a mirror is from Maisons du Monde and you can buy it here.
Branches and logs
Some logs suitable in size and length, can become a perfect room divider.
It uses bamboo, which is inexpensive and very resistant.
Donkeys
Donkeys for clothes are another element that, once we have hung the clothes, will also act as a space divider.
A simple and relatively effective resource.
It is not the first that I would recommend, but it serves, and it does it very well.
In addition to these 20 ideas to divide and separate environments with different materials and elements that we have seen, you can also make use of paint. It is easier than you think and effective. Here you can see ideas to separate environments and spaces with paint.
