You will need to purchase wooden planks (or other veneered planks), a pair of metal posts, and a roll of thick, sturdy rope. Instead of one of the planks, you can insert a "slate board" - this is modern and convenient, for example, in the kitchen you can write down "assignments" on such a board to yourself or your household.
It is not difficult to create a decorative partition with your own hands. Of course, you have to work hard, but it will become a real decoration of your interior, give it a unique look.
This option is suitable for almost any style solution, if you adhere to simple rules:
- The color of the veneer of the boards must be selected in accordance with the color of the wooden furniture or other wooden interior elements. It can be either in tone or contrasting.
- You can add bright accents by painting the rope in colors suitable for the general range of the interior with the help of fabric dyes.
Materials (edit)
In order to make a decorative partition with your own hands, you will need:
- two racks from IKEA (STOLMEN system, height from 210 to 330 cm, placed between the ceiling and the floor);
- six wooden or laminated planks (you can use parquet boards);
- a coil of rope or rope of suitable thickness;
- special paint "slate board" and the primer under it (if you plan to write on one of the boards);
- construction glue or glue gun;
- scissors, tape measure, pencil.
Process
It is easy to make a decorative partition, following the sequence of actions.
- In the right place, fix the stand collar, the distance between them should not exceed 80 cm.
- Step back about half a meter from the floor, glue the end of the rope to the stand, and wind tightly - about 10 turns. Cut the rope and seal the end.
- Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom and top edge of the winding - it should be the same on the other stand. Write down these values - when you make a decorative partition with your own hands, you will need them.
- Unwind the rope and use it as a template to cut 13 more of the same pieces. Support elements and restraints will be made from them.
- Again measure from the floor the distance you already know to the bottom edge of the winding, wind the same lengths of rope on both posts, securing each turn with glue.
- Lean the first plank against the rope supports, take the rope, wrap it around the post, and overlap on the other side. Cut 12 of the same pieces of rope to attach the planks, and secure the first plank to the second post.
- Repeat until you have attached all the planks. Wrap ten more turns of rope over the top bar - here it will act as a height limiter.
Thus, it is not difficult to make a decorative partition, you just need to follow the technology.
It is much more difficult to choose the right color and material of the boards (it can be cork strips or even plastic plates) that are most suitable for your interior. If you need a taller or lower partition, change the number of boards you will be using.
