The latest trend in architecture and interior design is to create open-plan or LOFT-style spaces, where different areas share the same room with no dividing elements such as partition walls, corridors, walls or doors. These designs give a spectacular sense of space, but sometimes we need to separate an area to create privacy at certain times or to achieve a cosier atmosphere.

It seems like this is the drawback of these spaces, doesn’t it? Well, a very practical and functional solution is to create divisions using traditional curtains, roller blinds, Japanese panels, Venetian blinds or vertical blinds. As well as being highly aesthetic and hugely decorative, these products are functional because they can be easily drawn back or removed. They can even be hidden away when not in use — for example, by building a curtain box into a false ceiling for a roller blind. And if you motorise it, even better! Not a single chain or control mechanism in sight!

Another advantage is that they are not as abrupt as walls, doors or glass partitions.

In bedrooms, they can also be used as a decorative element to create a soft, romantic effect with silk or semi-transparent fabrics reminiscent of “One Thousand and One Nights.”

In short, it is a subtle and bold way to gain space without giving up segmented, more “homely” areas.
