Peter While it sounds counter-intuitive, a division in a room can actually help to create a projected sense of space in a room.
Room dividers are a great way of achieving this illusion. A traditional white curtain extending to the wall, is is a great way to offer a light and airy, yet beautiful boundary in a bedroom or small sitting room.
With a curtain hanging in the room, the room is divided into two sections. The section that can be seen up to the curtain, and the section behind it. This creates a feeling of extended space, that extends behind the area that you can’t see.
There are many room dividers that can be used in the home, but the best are often the homemade types. Simple fabric, or even old furniture strategically placed can create an inexpensive and effective dividing screen in a room.
