Why you Should Consider Sectioning off Rooms

Does your Perth home have a lot of large open space?

 Have you thought about strategically dividing an area in your home to offer more versatility and privacy? At Zircon Living, our team are experts in interior design and believe separating rooms can be a clever tool that adds more separation and storage potential, particularly when compared to simply zoning parts of the home with flooring or furniture. 

Here are some of our tips, and also our comments on the value of sectioning off parts of your Perth home. 

create multi-purpose rooms

In a compact, open-plan area where storage is scarce, a big and bold statement wall that hosts shelves, cupboards and drawers is an invaluable way to section off parts of the home. It allows the living room to be comfortably used while another family member occupies the kitchen. Even a simple couch can break up a large room into two distinct zones.

It encourages privacy

There aren’t too many drawbacks to open-plan living, but if we were to pick out one it would certainly be the lack of privacy. If you have a small space that needs to serve numerous functions, think about using a light fabric partition. This can be a cost-effective option to adding some privacy to your open-plan Perth home. 

Adds depth and interest

Adding sections in your home through the form of an almost-wall is just what an open-plan room can need. After all, this creates the illusion of distinct spaces without overtly defining them. A solid wall would have felt too solid in this room; instead the slim, vertical partitions add depth and interest while retaining a very minimalist aesthetic.

Create a focal point by sectioning off spaces

When it comes to dividing a space, think laterally, and consider what you could use to give the room a focal point. Some homes sectioned off look great with a fireplace, and it subtly divides the kitchen and living area, while it can also act as the home’s centrepiece. 

Enhance your home’s character and personality

When you’re trying to decide on a method to section off a room or two, consider the style of your space. Would something sleek, minimalist and contemporary work best? Maybe going a bit quirky could be just what your home needs for some authentic character? Do you want it to blend in, or are you thinking to make it stand out? Perhaps, these sections are  focal points?
