Open concept spaces are airy and modern, which is why they’re popular in condos and houses alike. While living without walls has its perks, you may still find yourself wanting to separate your spaces. From strategic furniture placement to decorative partitions, explore the practical ways to divide your interior areas below.

3 Inventive Ways to Separate Spaces in an Open Layout

1. Accent Rugs

Rugs can be positioned to indicate where one space starts and the other begins. For example, positioning your couches, chairs, and TV around a large area rug can help indicate a living room space, even if there are no walls separating it from the rest of the house. Then, consider placing your dining set atop its own rug of an appropriate size, too. This practice can also be followed to divide up workspaces from living areas, such as desks that share rooms with bedroom furniture.

2. Room Dividers

furnitureFrom working out or running your own business to sleeping, relaxing, cooking, and dining, your home may be the site for many diverse activities. If you’re living in a condo or apartment with limited rooms, it’s important to make the most of your space while still giving each activity a separate area. Decorative room dividers can create sectioned-off places, so you can have different nooks for working, reading, yoga, or watching TV. 

3. Furniture Placement

Furniture placement can also be used to indicate a separate space. For instance, facing your couch away from an adjacent space, such as the kitchen, is an effective way to construct a living room. You can also use the same practice for other pieces of furniture, including chairs and desks. Additionally, combine these strategies to define the spaces even more.
