How dividing spaces can make your home décor more functional

The open floor concept is quite common in and around interior design in Toronto. However, this need not necessarily mean that it is a large room without any separation. Dividing the open floor space can help in warding off echoes resulting from unhindered sound travel. Further you can also enhance privacy and structure through this measure.


Building a wall to divide space can be a messy affair and potentially be a more expensive mistake too. A cheaper option would be semi-portable or portable dividers and would be easier on installation. This way, you can also avoid any demolition when you need the open space back.


Secluded spaces behind your curtains


An easy and simple way for separating the room is installing rods and hanging curtains. By choosing right materials, the space can get quieter, cozier and little more private. You will need to determine how the curtain rods should be installed, where it could be difficult, and where you may need drilling on concrete walls. At times, it may be better to get help from a home renovation agency to execute the job and save plenty of stress for yourself. When you pick the curtains, you should pay attention to airy design, light, dark, thick and thin features. For some areas you may need thick and dark curtain to afford more privacy while in some other areas thin and light colored curtain may be more appropriate. You can also consult a home improvement agency for guidance in this regard. 

Using a book shelf to divide space


Moving your bookshelf to divide the open floor space can be the smartest and least expensive way to divide space as part of your home improvement. But you should pay attention to what goes on to the bookshelf and where it will be placed. You should also know that all bookshelves may not be suitable for this purpose and the height of the bookshelf should be a minimum of 1 meter from the ground.

When you place the bookshelf strategically to divide space, you may even find working from home significantly more convenient and efficient. Such an office space will also provide you immediate and easy access to all the literature that you may need in the course of work.


Foldable bamboo screens        


This is by far the most favorite and mobile bamboo screens to divide your open space. It is very durable and can be deployed in your balconies, kitchen, living room or other areas where you need to achieve a semi-permanent or temporary partition. The way bamboo reflects space can also provide an interesting shade to your space. You may also want to consider different options and see how it fits in your room. If you choose bamboo screen with ultra modern design you may be able to add some stark contrast. But, you should be able to determine if this action enhances the appeal of your room or becomes counterproductive. A service provider for interior design in Toronto can be the best help when you are unable to take a call.


You should also know that bamboo is not the singular choice when it comes to foldable screens and some of the variants including metal, other types of wood, and cloth.


Rope dividers floor to ceiling


For home owners looking to usher in a vintage vibe for their home interior design thick ropes in a wooden frame and some amount of work can be a desirable approach. You can select a wooden frame with two planks (think of something that is better than just a 2x4) and drill holes in the plans for securing the ropes. You will also need to have grooves in the planks so that the ropes can sink well into the wood. This approach will help you to ensure that the rope going into the plank through one hole and exiting through another helps in the backside lying flat on the ceiling or floor. A wooden plan can also be attached to the ceiling, but it can be a tricky job for many homeowners. A home improvement agency can be of great help if you are choosing this method to divide space. You may also need some specialized tools to accomplish this task.

Drywall is not a suitable choice for this since the strength of the wall would fall short to hold the wooden frame and therefore potentially become a safety hazard.
