Zoning a room with curtains: pros and cons, types, modern ideas of dividing into two zones

Pros and cons of zoning curtains

The main advantages and disadvantages of interior curtain structures are highlighted.

What types of curtains to use to divide a room?

Zoning of the room involves the use of curtains of various types.

Jalousie

Both vertical and horizontal models are perfect for dividing a room. Blinds are very convenient, they perfectly hide the separated area, and when assembled, such structures are almost invisible.

Japanese curtains

Mobile panel curtains with their appearance resemble an interior partition and take up a minimum of space. Japanese canvases, decorated with patterns or 3D drawings, make the interior of the room refined and original.

Filament curtains

Weightless curtains create an interesting optical effect in the room and do not weigh it down. Zoning with thread curtains made of beads looks very unusual and becomes a real decorative highlight of the entire interior.

Curtains (tulle)

Translucent curtains to the ceiling are especially suitable for zoning a small room. They are able to adjust the space, add volume and a feeling of lightness to it.

Curtains

They need to be double-sided to look good on both sides. Thick curtains serve not only as a decorative function, but also allow you to create a personal and more private space in the room.

Roller blinds

Blinds are suitable, not only for functional zoning of a room, but also are an excellent camouflage option. You can hide anything behind them: from a niche in the hallway or bathroom, to a shelving unit in the living room or a dressing room in the bedroom.

Ideas for dividing a one-room apartment or studio into two zones

Competent division of a one-room apartment contributes to the creation of a comfortable interior.

Bedroom and living room

The curtain partition, when extended, does not change the size of the hall combined with the bedroom. Fabric canvases not only allow you to limit a separate space, but also give a stylish look and create coziness, both in the bedroom and in the guest area.

Kitchen and living room

Various models are suitable here, from more practical fabrics and materials. A well-chosen decor for zoning, in combination with the general interior, is able to make such a combined room just perfect.

Zoning options in the interior of rooms

Examples of successful separation in different rooms.

Children

Curtains create a truly airy room design and help separate the play, study or niche sleeping area. Also, this design will be an excellent option for a nursery with children of different sexes.

Bedroom

With the help of zoning, you can optimize the space in the bedroom, isolate the area in which the bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, dressing table is located, or equip additional territory.

In the country

A small summer cottage can also be divided into separate zones using curtains. Simple models made from natural materials, without unnecessary pretentiousness, will perfectly match the overall interior of the room and create complete harmony in it.

Wardrobe

The doors of the dressing room located in a small room can be replaced with ordinary curtains. This decor option has many configurations and allows you to visually increase the space.

Balcony

In rooms combined with a balcony, various curtains are also used for zoning. Thus, it is possible to form two zones, decorated in an identical or different style, for example a living room and an office or a bedroom and a sitting area.

Recommendations for the use of curtain partitions

For competent zoning with curtains, several nuances should be taken into account:

• For small rooms, it is better to choose curtains-partitions from lighter materials in light colors. They will not overload the space and visually make it wider.
• When using curtains made of dense and dark fabrics, you should pay attention to additional lighting in the separated area.
• When choosing curtains for a room that should be divided into only two zones, it is better to use plain fabrics or models with simple and not complex patterns.
• If the room is made in pastel colors, you can choose designs in brighter shades for zoning.
