The design of living quarters uses countlessa lot of different techniques in order to make the interior more beautiful, create a comfortable environment and give each room a unique feel. One of the most common design techniques is zoning space. The division of the room into zones fulfills two important functions - aesthetic and practical. After all, every square meter of space is used as rationally as possible, while non-standard approaches in the choice of colors, accessories and furniture create a dynamic space. 
A plasterboard wall helps to separate the hallway andThe living room, preserving the airiness and spaciousness of the premises. Zoning aims to visualize the separation of zones for different purposes, the division of space into a common and private zone, a visual change in the proportions of different areas of the room and the size of the room itself.
The main techniques of space division
Zoning space as a design technique has the following methods, each of which is applied depending on the purpose of dividing the living room into zones:
The living room is not separated from the hallway, but zonedusing floor materials of different textures and colors. Which of the zoning methods to choose for a particular room depends on its type, original size and shape, as well as the desired design style. So, the zoning of a rectangular living room will require, first of all, the correct use of furniture and carpet. For zoning a bedroom, false partitions are often used, which divide the space favorably. It is necessary to take into account the rules for dividing into zones so that the resulting space is multifunctional, practical, uncluttered, corresponds to the chosen general style and meets the needs of residents. Most often, zoning is in demand in the living room and hallway, living room and bedroom. Along with this, the division into a work, play and recreation area is possible in any of the rooms of a multi-room apartment, in a studio apartment or in a small apartment.

Entrance and living room: zoning, amalgamation and decoration
A small hallway can be separated from the living roombookcase with through shelves. Owners of the hallway is a small enough area designers often recommend to combine its space with the living room. At the same time, easily constructed decorative structures and decor elements are used: walls, columns, mirrors, panels, lighting. If the hallway has a large enough area, its zoning and decor can be made with partitions, furniture, plants in large containers and large statues. The combination of two such important spaces in any apartment, like an entrance hall and a living room, is carried out by a number of techniques - semi-transparent partitions, combined floor covering, combined wall decoration materials, furniture and lighting. It is important to observe the harmony of style and the combination of colors of these spaces to create a visual space. The hallway must have an entrance area and a hall area. The entrance part can be separated from the hall by high furniture. And the hall and the transition to the living room to decorate with benches, a fireplace, armchairs. Horizontal (changing the color and texture of the finish) or vertical zoning (raised floors and false ceilings) will correct the unfortunate proportions of the room, reduce or expand the space, beat all the necessary parts and create a cozy atmosphere. Competent and interesting decor with the use of wood, glass, metal, textiles and interior elements (lamps with shade, candlesticks, shelves, vases, paintings, chandelier, stucco) will add individuality and emphasize individual zones. The living room, which is the center of any house and uniting all other rooms around itself, when zoning from the hallway acquires a special interior, in which there is room not only for the original color, but also for functionality and comfort. This living room is always stylish, refined and spectacular.
