# 5 ideas to separate spaces without the need for partitions

Interior design models offer us increasingly versatile and open-plan homes. On the other hand, our lives have changed and during the last year we have been forced to spend more time at home, which has led us to look for **multifunctional atmospheres** that double as living room, office and playroom. With all this, we look for a way to separate spaces without the need for partitions.

The rooms no longer have specific uses, which has led us to seek **a new distribution of the house.** The purpose is that the environments flow while we make the most of every inch. We bring different proposals so that this separation is on good terms.

There are many formulas that can allow us to have **multifunctional spaces without losing the essence of each room.** We do not like partitions either, not to mention that sometimes it is not possible to compartmentalize each area, so we have to get creative and look for solutions full of design, practical and versatile.

#### 1. Glass panels or partitions <a href="#id-1-paneles-o-tabiques-de-cristal" id="id-1-paneles-o-tabiques-de-cristal"></a>

For small flats, open spaces are more than recommended. However, sometimes we **need to differentiate between zones or isolate** the kitchen minimally so that the fumes do not mix.

One option that we love are glass panels or partitions, since they **offer a certain privacy while promoting communication** and allowing light to pass through in rooms without a window. With a design with panels, we have a *plus* of style and class in the living room.

#### 2. The screens to separate spaces without the need for partitions <a href="#id-2-los-biombos-para-separar-espacios-sin-necesidad-de-tabiques" id="id-2-los-biombos-para-separar-espacios-sin-necesidad-de-tabiques"></a>

For times when we need a more versatile "drop and drop" solution, **screens are the best.** It is one of those pieces of decoration that seemed to have fallen into disuse, but that interior designers have rescued from oblivion.

**They are ideal for delimiting the different areas within the same space.** For example, to create a reading corner in the bedroom or to mark the office that we have set up in the living room with this teleworking.

As for models, there are alternatives for all tastes like this rattan that we find in [Maisons in Vogue. ](https://www.maisonenvogue.es/pantalla-rumour-natural--04400865?af=17852\&utm_source=comparateur_GoogleShopping\&utm_medium=flux_xml\&utm_campaign=flux_GoogleShopping\&af=17859\&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW-2xFXUvhtRmVDwx7C9yA2QL21sK2ADVYytmT1ADjR7ttKixfVjfpoaAiepEALw_wcB)A perfect model for the most bohemian spaces.

#### 3. The practicality of bookstores <a href="#id-3-la-practicidad-de-las-librerias" id="id-3-la-practicidad-de-las-librerias"></a>

**A bookstore is one of the solutions that we like** the most when it comes to separating environments, since it acts as a clear barrier while allowing us to keep the books in order. It is capable, effective and very practical.

To give the room a light appearance and not see it as a hindrance, we will choose it without a back. If there are no space problems and we want to integrate it into the environment, we can put one that matches the walls and turn it into one of the focal points, like this one so original from [Sklum.](https://www.sklum.com/es/comprar-estanterias/38446-libreria-thura.html?id_c=133071\&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW8OrziI3O7D8-jClQR4G0N_n1O3LeTr_LmSbfwwWQVKPpKndBpH8m8aAjaAEALw_wcB)

#### 4. Separate spaces without the need for partitions with rugs <a href="#id-4-separar-espacios-sin-necesidad-de-tabiques-con-las-alfombras" id="id-4-separar-espacios-sin-necesidad-de-tabiques-con-las-alfombras"></a>

Sometimes the simplest thing escapes us and this **is one of the most economical and successful ways** to differentiate different areas of the same space.

**Visually, a rug delimits each area very well,** especially if we put them in the living room. The furniture should be on and around it, which will create a clear frame with respect to the dining room or passage areas.

#### 5. Seen and unseen: the magic of sliding doors <a href="#id-5-visto-y-no-visto-la-magia-de-las-puertas-correderas" id="id-5-visto-y-no-visto-la-magia-de-las-puertas-correderas"></a>

**The sliding doors have the power to separate and join two adjacent spaces,** depending on the specific needs of each moment. The best thing about this highly demanded solution is that it allows us to make good use of the space and lets in much more light.

We can find them **suspended, folding or embedded and in a wide variety of materials** . They are super decorative or they can go unnoticed, depending on the effect we want to achieve and they always give us the option of opening or closing the space depending on the moment.

We have seen the many different ways that can exist to **separate spaces without the need for partitions.** They range from those that require a reform to those that are achieved by coupling a new piece of decoration.

When we need to divide the areas at home, we have to look **for creative and practical solutions** that allow us to shape flexible spaces.
