What types of curtains should I use to divide a room?
Zoning the room involves the use of curtains of various types.
Blinds
Both vertical and horizontal models are perfect for dividing a room. Blinds are very convenient, they perfectly hide the separated area, and when assembled, such structures are almost invisible.

Japanese curtains
Mobile panel curtains with their appearance resemble an interior partition and occupy a minimum of space. Japanese canvases, decorated with patterns or 3D drawings, make the interior of the room refined and original.
Filament curtains
Weightless curtains create an interesting optical effect in the room and do not weigh it down. Zoning with thread curtains made of beads looks very unusual and becomes a real decorative highlight of the entire interior.
Curtains (tulle)
Translucent curtains up to the ceiling are especially suitable for zoning a small room. They are able to adjust the space, add volume and a feeling of lightness to it.
Curtains
They should be double-sided to look beautiful on both sides. Thick curtains not only perform a decorative function, but also allow you to create a personal and more private space in the room.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are suitable not only for functional zoning of a room, but are also an excellent camouflage option. Behind them you can hide anything: from a niche in the hallway or bathroom, to a shelving unit in the living room or a dressing room in the bedroom.
Ideas for dividing a one-room apartment or studio into two zones
Proper division of a one-room apartment helps create a comfortable interior.
Bedroom and living room
The curtain partition, when extended, does not change the size of the hall combined with the bedroom. Fabric canvases not only allow you to limit a separate space, but also give a stylish look and create coziness, both in the sleeping and guest areas.

Kitchen and living room
Various models made from more practical fabrics and materials are suitable here. Properly selected decor for zoning, in combination with the overall interior, can make such a combined room simply ideal.

Curtains for different areas
The most important criterion for choosing curtains for the kitchen is safety. Long curtains above the stove are excluded. This area as a whole does not imply the presence of luxurious curtains; the main thing here is practicality. As a rule, products are selected both to match the tone of the kitchen furniture and the color of the countertop.
In the bedroom it is better to hang curtains in calm, cool colors, as they relieve fatigue and induce relaxation.
Roman or roller blinds are perfect for a child's room. They are simple both in terms of their execution and operation.
The main recommendation in choosing curtains for the living room is to ensure that they are compatible with the furnishings.
Curtains are an important decorative element. Their harmony in the interior plays a big role. By following the tips given above, you can make your home more comfortable and beautiful on your own. In search of classic examples and interesting ideas, you can refer to the photographs of curtains for the apartment below.
Zoning options in the interior of rooms
Examples of successful separation in various rooms.
Children's
Curtains allow you to create a truly airy room design and help separate a play area, study area or sleeping area located in a niche. Also, this design will be an excellent option for a nursery with children of different sexes.
Bedroom
With the help of zoning, you can optimize the space in the bedroom, isolate the area in which the bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, dressing table is located, or arrange additional territory.
In the country
A small country house can also be divided into separate zones using curtains. Simple models made from natural materials, without unnecessary pretentiousness, will perfectly match the overall interior of the room and create complete harmony in it.

Wardrobe
The doors of a dressing room located in a small room can be replaced with ordinary curtains. This decor option has many configurations and allows you to visually increase the space.

Balcony
In rooms combined with a balcony, various curtains are also used for zoning. In this way, you can create two zones, decorated in identical or different styles, for example, a living room and an office or a bedroom and a relaxation area.
Thread
Such delimiting partitions made of fabric are used when it is necessary to block not the entire space of the opening, but only part of it. The disadvantage of such models is that intertwined ropes can impede free movement around the room. It is because of this that thread models are used to zone part of the space.
Thread models can be preferred if it is necessary to enclose part of the room, but at the same time it remains possible to view the space. Most often they are used to draw functional areas in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens.
The methods of fastening such structures provide high-quality ventilation of the room, which is an undeniable advantage of thread models.
The originality and unusualness of the design is betrayed by many thin threads.
You can select models by color depending on the design of the room.
Thread curtains look like streams of water flowing directly from the ceiling of the room. They will be an excellent option for decorating modern premises.
Recommendations for using curtain partitions
For proper zoning with curtains, several nuances should be taken into account:
- For small rooms, it is better to choose partition curtains made of lighter materials in light colors. They will not overload the space and will visually make it wider.
- When using curtains made of thick and dark fabrics, you should pay attention to additional lighting in the separated area.
- When choosing curtains for a room that should be divided into only two zones, it is better to use plain fabrics or models with simple and uncomplicated patterns.
- If the room is made in pastel colors, you can choose designs in brighter shades for zoning.
Regular
A traditional curtain partition is a fabric sheet that is attached to a string or cornice. To zone the sleeping space, it is recommended to give preference to dense, heavy fabrics. They will be an excellent option for replacing non-existent walls.
Usually the fastening element is fixed just under the ceiling.
Thick fabrics will harmoniously combine with a massive cornice. In this case, rings will be used to secure the fabric. This design will not sag under the weight of the canvas.
If the partition will be used only for decorative purposes, then a lightweight translucent fabric that can be mounted on a string cornice would be an excellent option. The weightlessness of the structure will prevent it from sagging during operation.
