No. 1: Screen
It won't take up much space, either when straightened out or when unfolded.neither when folded, and in terms of size it cannot be compared with a wall. There are many types, made of different materials, with drawings and ornaments, as well as with rollers, allowing you to move it as needed to different parts of the room. The design can be completely weightless, made of papyrus paper or bamboo, or very massive, made of metal or wood.
No. 2: Different wallpapers
The method is not only effective and interesting, but alsoeconomical. If you have a roll of the covering left over from the last renovation or even less, you can decorate one of the vertical surfaces or part of it with it. This will create a certain border. Combine plain wallpaper with those that have an interesting pattern, plant or ethnic ornament, etc. and do not forget to maintain everything in contrast.
No. 3: Spacious shelving
Let this piece of furniture be large andoccupies the area from the floor to the ceiling, but at the same time is no more than 50 cm wide. The embodiment can be any. Whether the rack will be open and easily let in light, partially closed with beautiful doors or drawers, or mounted on both sides of the door - you decide. Each individual living space requires an individual approach.
#4: Podium
