We divide rooms into zones using furniture

Among the numerous ways of zoning a room, one of the leading places is occupied by division into sectors using furniture.

Cabinets and shelves

Most often, missing walls are replaced with cabinets and shelves. For example, a bookcase will do an excellent job of dividing a room into two parts. The bookcase is installed across the room. One side of it is installed against the wall. This option does an excellent job of cutting off the required area from the rest of the room. The only thing that needs to be done to ensure that the cabinet installed in this way fits harmoniously into the interior is to remove the back wall of the bookcase. If this is not done, then the part of the room where the back wall will be turned will lose its aesthetics and become dull and careless. Although this situation can be corrected a little - by sticking photo wallpaper on the back wall or hanging a poster. But these are extra costs.

An equally popular separation option is using shelves. Despite the simplicity of the design, projects using this method are famous for their great variety. For example, using shelves you can adjust the height of the entire structure. That is, you can install a partition from shelves either under the ceiling or lower. The second positive side of this method is that a variety of shelves can be used for the design: open, blind, combined. In addition, shelves in such a design can be placed on both sides, and those located lower can be used as a coffee table.

Sofas and armchairs

Upholstered furniture, such as a sofa or chair-bed , are used for zoning when it is necessary to separate an area of the room for watching TV or for communication. It can be installed in a circle or semicircle opposite the TV. If you have one room, which is both a bedroom and a living room, then a corner sofa, installed with its back to the bed, will perfectly divide the room into two areas: for sleeping, for guests and for watching TV.

Separating zones using TV

Modern TVs do not need a wide niche. This makes it possible to use them as a partition. To do this, you need to create a small narrow shelf on which the TV will be installed. To give greater effect, a mount can be used to the vertical support. The TV shelf can be either closed or open. The open-type design creates a graphic decor in the room. It looks great even when there are no additional items on it, or their number is minimal.

Bed

Zoning using a bed can only be done in the bedroom. With the help of such a piece of furniture it is impossible to completely separate the zones, but the bed can act as a good boundary in the case when it is necessary to separate the recreation area from the sector where morning preparations take place.

Combined use of furniture

In the case where it is necessary to divide into zones that have completely different functions, it is recommended to use several different pieces of furniture. So, for example, when separating the living room from the home office, it is recommended to use a more complex design: shelves and TV mounts are installed on the living room side, and a computer desk is installed on the work office side, above which there are shelves for documentation and work papers. In the case when it is necessary to separate the sleeping area from the study area, you can use the headboard of the bed as a partition in the lower part, and separate the upper part with shelves that will be installed “facing” the work area, where a desk will be moved towards the headboard in the lower part.

Tables, bar counters and other zoning options

Tables and bar counters are used when it is necessary to separate the kitchen area from the living room. A sofa with a high back is ideal for separating the cooking area. It must be placed with the back side facing the kitchen area. An illuminated aquarium can be used as zoning. To separate these zones, a TV on a rotating narrow shelf can be used, which will be installed in the desired position. That is, you can watch TV both when you are cooking and after turning, when you are sitting in the living room.

Rules for zoning furniture

Whatever furniture zoning options you use, you must adhere to several rules:
