Work wonders with room dividers
Got a small, open-plan space but still want room for guests, a place of work and some alone time? Check out our five simple ideas on how to create a room within a room: you can use room dividers, airy shelves, curtains, shelving units or even clothes racks.

1. Create a room within a room
Change the room when you need it with a room divider. Choose the best style to fit your room, and you are ready to create different spaces for eating and socialising, or a temporary bedroom for overnight guests.

2. Separate your space but stay social
Use some airy shelves that double as extra storage space. You don’t need a wall, just attach the posts to the ceiling. Keep clutter hidden in boxes with lids. An extra tray table is easy to pull out when guests come over.

3. Use fabric to split an on/off bedroom
Choose a room-darkening curtain and attach it to a curtain rod on the ceiling. Close it to retreat from the world. In the day, a home office. When night falls, a relaxing living room.

4. Divide for deep(er) focus
Create a semi solid wall with a smart storage unit. Our KALLAX shelving units are accessible from both sides, but you still get the feeling of two independent ‘rooms’. Use different inserts to organise your stuff and free up desk space.

5. Get flexible with a movable green screen
Pimp a clothes rack with climbing plants (one with wheels is a plus so you can move it around). Use your favourite species or mix and match different greens in standing and hanging pots. Fasten a few vines to the top bar with thread.
