Remember the academy from Harry Potter, where the stairs changed direction and mysterious rooms appeared in the most unexpected places? The magical redevelopment has become closer thanks to design solutions and blinds.
Blinds can hide part of a room or opening, reduce visibility, change accents, divide into zones, create a corridor or close passages in staircases. Do you feel the atmosphere of magic?
What's the trick?
Dividing space using blinds is technically simple - the canvas is attached to a wall, ceiling, ceiling or beam on a shaft or a special cornice. Structures made of metal, plasterboard, plywood or wood can support the weight of a vertical partition made of blinds.
In an apartment, office or room, new zones appear and disappear, the issue of “technical” rooms and personal space, separation of the kitchen from the corridor or dining room is resolved. Do you want a labyrinth in the hall, do you want a secret floor in the house, do you want a secret laboratory at the end of the corridor. When automating roller blinds, “at the snap of a finger,” new zones will begin to appear or new horizons will open.
How to remodel an apartment where they take the comfort of a cafe, and how to rid employees of open space?
We cut private space into pieces
Vacation home
1. Big
Spacious rooms, monumental furniture, designer included, style in every item. How can you avoid accidentally losing someone? Tables for 12 people, luxurious living rooms and billiard rooms are designed for entertaining guests, maintaining the status of the hosts. And for a person living in a house, he needs a cozy, closed, psychologically safe space. Colored, with photo printing, decorative, wide fabric vertical blinds will help the designer create a space of personal relaxation for the owners.
Among the fabrics for roller blinds (roller blinds) and vertical blinds, it is easy to choose the right one for the 19th century, for high-tech, for Scandinavian minimalism or oriental motifs.
Decorative vertical fabric or rope blinds are suitable for an oriental room and will be in tune with African motifs. Horizontal - will support Scandinavian style or play a role in a wild west saloon. Roller blinds emphasize simplicity in Japanese room, decorated with brocade are in harmony with Baroque or Art Nouveau motifs. The combination of the rhythm of the slats and the richness of the fabrics gives freedom of choice.
2. Small
In small country houses the hall is combined with a kitchen, dining room, living room and guest bedroom or even a parent’s bedroom. Tiny homes show the owner's attention to budget. The upstairs rooms also combine the functions of offices, bedrooms, and dressing rooms.
Blinds will provide flexibility to the space, and the price is lower than creation stationary partitions with finishing. You can buy a ready-made curtain to divide a room - it will be cheaper, but you will have to choose from the available sizes.
Children will each have a private room, a place to study or a space to play. For adults, blinds will separate personal space, an office, and close technical areas - a workshop, a dressing room, and a kitchen from the corridor.
The price of a partition made of blinds is several times less than the creation of permanent structures made of plasterboard or brick. You can inexpensively solve the door issue by closing the opening.
City apartment
Apartment, large apartment
As in mansions, owners are faced with the need to organize a place for relaxation: closed, safe. In apartment design, vertical blinds and roller blinds will partially cover the resting place - a sofa, armchair or window sill with pillows.
Where are blinds used to divide space? It’s easier to say where they are not used - warehouses, barns and industrial enterprises. Wherever the main people, and not cars, objects or animals, blinds will find application.
The atmosphere of luxury will be supported by automation - “electric curtains” make an impression even on a modern and sophisticated audience.
In a studio apartment
A studio apartment means savings and versatility. Some save money, others save energy by minimizing the area to care for. This is where flexibility comes in handy.
Owners of such housing use blinds instead of heavy monolithic wall to separate the living room and kitchen. They order photo printing to maintain a studio, bohemian, creative atmosphere.
In addition to structuring the space, separating the kitchen, sleeping place, living room or closet, roller blinds in a studio apartment help you not get tired of four walls. The visible space, combined with habit, begins to weigh down.
Vertical blinds, hiding even a small space, change the perception of boundaries.
In a typical apartment
Standard apartments are the basis of the housing stock. One-room, two-room, three-room – standard apartments similar to each other, like Czechoslovak wall cabinets. Not many people decide to redevelop; in some places it is not possible at all. Build partitions already small rooms Not everyone will decide. In such a situation, you can fragment the space of the blinds.
In the nursery
Not every family can provide a room for their children, and not every apartment will provide a private room for all children. But personal space and respect for boundaries necessary condition harmonious development child's personality. What to do if two or three children live in a room, or parents live with children? This problem can be solved by blinds that divide the space without taking up much space. And, if necessary, the blinds are removed and the room is combined for family leisure.
In the bedroom
“I will have lunch in the dining room and operate in the operating room!” - said Professor Preobrazhensky, believing that combining the functionality of the rooms is unacceptable. For 100 years we have become accustomed to the fact that a bedroom is a dressing room, a boudoir, and Personal Area and sometimes a children's room.
Blinds will separate the sleeping area from the rest of the space, highlight work area, or they will hide the wardrobe, allowing you to abandon the dimensional and compartment doors. To remove or remove clothes, move the cloth to the side. Compartment doors are heavy and noisy, they jump off the guides and become dangerous for children. Roller blinds go down and up almost silently, while vertical blinds don't always need to be moved back.
But the main thing is comfort for sleeping. Sometimes it feels like the studies of somnologists, sleep researchers, are sponsored by blind manufacturers. The quality of sleep is positively affected by the presence of a separate sleeping area and complete darkness. Any blinds will help to highlight the sleeping space, and roller blinds with blackout fabric will provide protection from light in the bedroom.
We cut the business space into thin slices

Curtain design for room partition (interior photo)
Using fabric draperies instead interior walls and doors is a very old tradition that has existed since time immemorial. The emergence and spread of lightweight and cheap materials such as plasterboard, chipboard, MDF, etc., displaced fabric solutions from our homes, but not forever. It turned out that the use of curtains as doors, partitions and visual dividers in some cases is more convenient and expedient. Now this method of interior design is again quite popular.
Curtains instead of doors and partitions: where are they used?
Curtains as light screens are used for zoning in studio apartments and in rooms in which the bedroom is combined with another functional area: living room, office, nursery.
Fabric draperies are a traditional addition to a sleeping alcove. If you put a solid partition and a door here, you will get a closet or closet. It won't be very pleasant to sleep in such a nook. Another thing is a curtain that does not interfere with air circulation and allows you to easily adjust the level of privacy.
In general, it is in bedrooms that curtains instead of doors and partitions are most organic, because there is always a lot of textiles present here. Therefore, for a built-in (and not only) wardrobe or mini-wardrobe in the bedroom, doors are not necessary - curtains, which are absolutely harmonious here, perfectly serve their function.
Due to their lightness and safety, fabric “doors” are perfect for equipping cabinets in a child’s room.
Fabrics are also used for decoration doorways between rooms when privacy is not required.

Advantages and disadvantages
pros
— Fabric draperies add a touch of romance to the interior and impart such features as softness and lightness.
— Translucent light curtains, used instead of partitions, do not interfere with the movement of light.
— By separating the sleeping area in a studio or common room with an opaque curtain, you can give the room a presentable look in a matter of seconds. When they come unexpected guests, you won’t have to frantically make the bed and hide personal belongings - all you need to do is close the curtain.
— A thin curtain steals much less precious centimeters than a full-fledged partition. During the day, the curtain can be moved to the side, thereby expanding the space for receiving guests or children's games.
— Important advantage- ease of installation. The process of creating a fabric screen or door is quick, easy and clean.
— If the curtain used instead of a door or partition becomes boring, it can be changed at any time. Fortunately, the cost of this solution is low, and the process of making changes is not too tedious.
Minuses
— Many people treat draperies as dust collectors. This, they say, is not good for health. Yes, dust settles on the folds of the fabric. But if you compare the fabric “dust collector” with partitions and facades made of modern materials- it is not a fact that the environmental friendliness of the latter will be higher. It's no secret that many artificial materials capable of releasing hazardous substances. And the “dust collector” can always be removed and washed in washing machine. It is not so difficult.
— While the curtain is being washed or dry-cleaned, the space remains uncovered, which deprives the interior of its coziness. The situation will be saved by purchasing two fabric sets at once. One goes to the cleaners - another takes his place.
— A significant disadvantage of textile partitions and “doors” is that they do not protect against noise and odors. In essence, the curtain does not create a closed private area.
Curtain design with partition or door function
1. For these purposes, fabrics that can hold their shape well are optimal. Even folds will decorate the room, while loose folds will create a feeling of disorder and untidiness.
2. When choosing the color and pattern of the fabric, you need to take into account the design of the window. The principle here is this: if the curtain on the window is colored, it means that the additional curtain in the room should be exactly the same or neutral (for example, white or beige).
If the curtain on the window is neutral, then the choice for additional drapery expands. The curtain for zoning can be matched to the color of the walls, upholstered furniture, bedspreads, etc. If desired, it can also be made neutral.
3. Fabric partitions and “doors” for the closet should not be scanty and wrinkled - this spoils the entire interior. It is worth making the curtain long (to the floor or to the bottom of the closet) and be sure to iron it before use.
4. Curtains for zoning and dividing can be made of either heavy or very light fabric, including voile or even lace.
5. To separate zones, it is permissible to use two types of drapery, as is customary in window design: one is light and transparent, the other is darker and denser. To keep all zones light, only a light curtain is left closed, but if there is a need to make one of the zones more closed, a thick curtain is used.
If you have long wanted to use blinds, interior partitions will become ideal place for their placement. Moreover, it is best to give preference to glass structures, which open state give a lot of natural light.
