How to make a partition in a room

Thanks to a single piece of furniture – a double-sided wardrobe – the designer managed to divide one small room into two full-fledged rooms: a bedroom and a study.

How to make a partition in a room

Actually, the task set for the designer – to equip two functional zones in one room – does not seem particularly difficult. But this is only until the moment you see the room awaiting re-registration. The fact is that a window located on one of its long walls prevents the construction of a traditional partition with a doorway in the middle. This would require the creation of a new glazing structure and, as a result, complex reconciliation of redevelopment. The problem was solved by inventing an unusual partition cabinet, which can be accessed from both newly created premises. Only in the office are the upper sections involved, and in the bedroom, the lower shelves. In addition, one side of the cabinet was painted red, and the other – in a light cream, almost white, in accordance with the color scheme of the adjacent area. And finally (after the necessary filling was selected for each room), the location of the improvised partition was determined – approximately in the middle of the room.  

Instead of building a partition and doing capital construction, the designer divided the room with an original double-sided wardrobe. And in addition, I came up with its own lighting scenario for each room.

The walls of the office are covered with non-woven vinyl wallpaper, the texture of which skillfully imitates fabric. And the ceiling is framed by a wide stucco cornice made of so-called lightweight plaster.

The bedroom has no window, but thanks to the door construction, there is no shortage of daylight. First, the door leaf is almost entirely filled with glass. Secondly, this material is used in the construction of the partition, which connects the door to the wardrobe-partition, and in the design of the fixed sash above the door leaf.

The purpose of the cabinet is to store books, but along the way, with its help, the problem of zoning the room was solved. Please note: from the side of the bedroom, the lower shelves are involved, and from the side of the study, the upper sections. This solution made it possible to manufacture a regular cabinet, rather than a double depth.

Since the study was first set up, there is a little less space left for the bedroom than originally planned. That is why the idea arose to abandon the bed in favor of the catwalk.

The structure was made strictly for the allotted space, sheathed with oak parquet boards and supplemented with a custom-made headboard.

The bright walls of the study are adorned with black and white photographs for which the owners of the apartment have a special affection.

Designer opinion:ELENA KAZAKOVA, Designer of the School of Repair program, TNT channel: They decided to divide the room into two rooms (a bedroom and an office), but at the same time keep them in the same style. After some deliberation, they took the classics, or rather, its most restrained English version, as a stylistic basis. This can be seen especially clearly in the design of the office. Its walls, and almost all the furniture (our wonderful wardrobe and Chesterfield sofa in leather upholstery) create the necessary atmosphere – the background for the main furnishings: a bureau, a chest of drawers, a half-armchair.
