How to separate rooms without walls in interior design

Separation of spaces: there are different ways of doing this in interior decoration.

When it comes to separating two rooms in an interior design project, there are many ways of doing so. Although at first glance we think of the wall, which would be the most "aggressive" and traditional way of separating, so to speak, there are different interior design methods for dividing rooms without the need to carry out such a large amount of work. With these methods we will achieve a more friendly separation and we will achieve spaciousness in the project.

Next, the team of interior designers from Tarraula explains what solutions we can create to divide rooms in a creative and original way.

Methods for separating rooms in an original way in interior decoration

Sliding doors in interior decoration

They represent the number one solution of this type, as they are like movable partitions that join or completely separate one space from another with a simple gesture. In addition to leaving no corners unused, sliding doors are a perfect resource for creating open spaces that minimise passageways and allow two adjoining rooms to communicate or separate, depending on the occasion.

Vertical slats in interior decoration

Seen and unseen. This is the effect created by the use of this type of slat in the distribution of an open-plan space. It is a fixed element, much lighter than a partition wall, which helps to distribute passages and circulation. At the same time, it is not an obstacle to light and gives a feeling of spaciousness.

A cupboard or shelf as a partition in interior design

With this idea you will obtain a double utility. On the one hand, it will be a partition that will visually separate and distribute the space. On the other, it will be a key storage module for order and organisation.

On the other hand, the functionality of a bookshelf as a dividing element is twofold: it is a piece of furniture that will separate different areas in the same room and serves to store books and decorate. What more could you ask for? If you choose it in the same colour as the walls, it will be lighter, while if you opt for another tone, it will stand out as a dividing element.

Glass walls for interior decoration

A glazed enclosure will bring two rooms together and separate them at the same time. This paradox is produced thanks to the transparency of the glass, which allows the light to pass through, as well as the visual amplitude it brings. At the same time, it subtly closes off, creating a boundary between, for example, the kitchen and the dining room, keeping smells and fumes out of the living areas.

The sofa as a frontier in interior decoration

If you want to divide the living room in style, distinguishing the living room from the dining room, the sofa will become your ally as a dividing line. If you want to reinforce the effect, place a low piece of furniture on the back, which will also provide storage space. Not all sofas are suitable for creating this effect. The ideal ones are low-backed and straight, so they won't be heavy.

Change of flooring in interior decoration

Flooring can be used as a useful element to distinguish environments within the same space. A change of material or floor level can frame different areas.

Slight separation thanks to curtains in interior design

Curtains are lightweight dividers that can function as dividers at any given moment, especially in lofts and open-plan rooms. The decorative play that this solution offers is very flexible, as you can choose light and airy fabrics, such as linen, for a fresh air, or heavier ones in elegant colours, such as velvet, for a more theatrical effect. The choice is yours.

From our interior design studio located in Jávea We have used these types of partitioning solutions in some of our interior design and decoration projects, since, as we have mentioned, it is an element that contributes many positive things to the space created.

An absolute pleasure to work with – highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit more than a year ago, we bought a house in Spain dating back to 1998 and decided to completely renovate it. We were looking for an interior designer who could understand our ideas, develop a concept for the renovation and interior, and also coordinate the entire project, including the selection and purchase of furniture. After two disappointing experiences with other interior designers, a colleague recommended Cristina from Tarraula in Jávea. And what a lucky recommendation that turned out to be! From our very first meeting, we immediately felt that Cristina understood us and what we were looking for. She listened carefully to our ideas, made fantastic suggestions and had a wonderful sense of how to create the atmosphere and style we had in mind. We loved her ideas for both the renovation and the furniture, and very quickly felt confident enough to entrust her with the entire project. Four months later, we returned to Spain and were absolutely blown away. Wow – what a transformation! Our house had been completely renovated and turned into a beautiful, warm and stylish Spanish home. The furniture was carefully selected, the workmanship was excellent, and every detail came together perfectly. Cristina and her colleague did a fantastic job coordinating and supervising the entire renovation. The craftsmen were excellent, everything was handled professionally, and the quality of the work was truly outstanding. But what matters most to us is how we feel about the result: we absolutely love our home! It now has exactly the style and atmosphere we had hoped for – and honestly, we cannot imagine having done it any better. Looking back, we can say with complete confidence that the investment was absolutely worth it. We are incredibly happy that we found Cristina and would wholeheartedly recommend her and the entire Tarraula team to anyone looking for creativity, professionalism, quality and someone who genuinely cares about creating a home that reflects the people who live in it. Thank you so much, Cristina, for turning our house into the home we dreamed of! ❤️
