What Are Good Ways to Divide a Room?

The great thing about a studio apartment is that it’s a simple living space that is usually inexpensive. The not-so-great thing is that it’s only one room. For some people, this may be all right — but if you have a roommate, or if you like a little separation between your bedroom and living room, workspace or dining area, you need to know how to divide a room.

How to Divide a Room

Fortunately, there are a number of good ways to divide a room in a studio apartment relatively inexpensively. What you choose as a studio room divider depends on your goals for dividing the apartment. Here are some creative ways to divide a room in your studio apartment:

• Curtains: Sure, you normally think of curtains as an item that keeps people from the outside looking in, but they can be very effective as room dividers as well. Mount a curtain rod and hang your favorite curtains from it for a fashionable room divider that you can change out whenever you’re in the mood for a new pattern.
• Bookshelf: One of the great things about bookshelves is that they are natural room dividers. You can choose a bookshelf that’s open on both sides so you can access the books (or whatever else you keep on your bookshelves) from either of your new “rooms,” or you can choose a closed bookshelf and decorate the closed side with posters, wallpaper or whatever seems appropriate.
• Projector Screen: This is a fun solution to the divider problem that, like the bookshelf, is functional as well as an effective divider. Set up a floor-to-ceiling projector screen and your living room becomes a home theater while your bedroom feels like its own cozy space.
• Acoustic Partitions: The problem with the above solutions is that if you’re dividing the room because two people are living in it, they may not provide the level of privacy you’re hoping for. Sure, you can’t see what’s going on over on the other side, but you can hear it. This is especially problematic if, for example, somebody is trying to sleep on one side while somebody else is trying to watch TV or listen to music on the other.
