Zoning is an important stage of interior design, especially relevant for a spacious one-room apartment or studio apartment, the footage of which allows it to be divided into several functional zones that are comfortable for the inhabitants. The principle of zoning a room is not new, but in recent years it has become an extremely popular area of design art. One room can successfully combine a bedroom, a living room, an office, a sports corner, and a relaxation area. To create separate zones, bookshelves, aquariums, narrow cabinets, stationary structures made of wood, plasterboard, metal, stone, built into the walls are often used, but the most convenient and modern are considered to be mobile lightweight partitions for zoning space in a room, with the help of which you can increase or reduce the area of one or another fragment of the room. Such designs look extremely impressive in combination with different options for finishing walls and ceilings, combined lighting, and a two-level floor.
Types of mobile partitions
Depending on the functionality and purpose of certain areas and the preferences of the apartment’s inhabitants, mobile partitions can be:
- transparent;
- matte;
- lightproof.
Designs for zoning can be purchased ready-made or made with your own hands from a wide variety of materials, among which the most popular are:
- plastic;
- glass;
- bamboo;
- tree;
- acrylic;
- textile;
- mirrors;
- drywall;
- wrought iron
- ampelous and woody indoor plants.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of partitions:
- Zoning a room into two or three zones.
- A bright and free space remains when using structures with good throughput.
- Budget cost for consumables and construction of the structure.
- The ability to transform your interior at low cost.
Flaws:
- Wrong choice of installation location will clutter the space.
- Non-standard premises are difficult to divide into proportional areas. Such “islands” further emphasize the weaknesses of the layout.
- Solid structures in a darkened room deprive it of space and light.
- Poor sound insulation between different areas.
Room partitions in the apartment are installed as necessary. When marking the premises, a reasonable balance is maintained in dividing the free space. An artificially created wall carries a functional or aesthetic load.
The partition rack will clearly designate isolated areas without obscuring the space of the room
How to choose a mobile partition
A mobile partition can combine several materials. It can be a structure made of wood or plasterboard with fragments of textiles, artificial stone, or mirror mosaics. Sliding models made of monolithic and openwork acrylic, stained glass partitions, screens, blinds, and forged structures are popular.
The mobile structure is not attached to the floor, walls or ceiling, so it must be strong and stable. Modern manufacturers offer many options for vertical and horizontal, high and low, wide and narrow, folding and sliding models, equipped with a stable frame, legs or wheels.
When choosing, it is important to consider the weight of the product, since a partition that is too light can be accidentally knocked down, especially if children and animals live in the apartment.
To zone a family room, it is better to use durable acrylic, textile, bamboo, plastic or wooden models, which are environmentally friendly, low cost, impeccable in appearance and safe for little destroyers. If necessary, a broken piece of furniture can be easily replaced with a similar product.

The simplest zoning technique is curtains
Curtains are among the simplest and cheapest materials used in zoning. Using a cornice with curtains, you can decorate the entrance to the sleeping area, cover the entire necessary area or only part of it. To divide the space, you do not need to involve specialists; you just need to fix the cornice in the right place.
You can equip the living room with a sleeping place, separating it from the rest of the space with a canopy, which not only zones the living room space, but also gives a unique fairy-tale atmosphere. Two curtains of different colors, fastened together, on the bedroom side can be soft bed colors, on the living room side - bright colors. To change the appearance of a room, just change the color and pattern of the curtains; there are many options.
In addition to the usual fabric curtains, they use unusual and original rope curtains, bamboo, beads strung on a thread, details made of wood, glass, crystal, and transparent thin fabric in the form of muslin. With the help of such extraordinary curtains, together with zoning, you can completely change the interior appearance of the room.
Plastic mobile structures
Mobile plastic partitions are the most economical way to zone space. They are made from high-quality, durable, easy-to-clean material and are often used for zoning children's rooms, in which it is necessary to separate the play area from the rest and sleep areas.
Plastic models can be sliding and folding, vertical high and horizontal low, made of opaque and transparent material. Designs decorated with drawings and patterns are very popular.
A low, portable cube-shaped model or a wide rectangular design can be used as additional exercise equipment and stands.
Manufacturing stages
- Design. The development takes into account the customer’s requirements, purpose and specifics of the rooms.
- Manufacturing - a profile is created on the basis of aluminum and detailed according to the drawings, preparing the frame of the partition.
- Processing – to increase strength and increase service life.
- Filling with finishing elements (glass and plastic sheet).
- Painting and decoration.
- Installation of fittings, seals, installation of fasteners.

Movable plasterboard partition
A mobile plasterboard partition is one of the most common types of zoning because it is convenient, durable, environmentally friendly, safe and has a relatively low cost. Craftsmen prefer to make such interior items with their own hands, solving constructive issues on their own.
A mobile plasterboard structure can be curly, narrow, wide, horizontal or vertical, and have a wide variety of designs - it all depends on imagination and skill. The finished product can be covered with wallpaper or tiles, upholstered with fabric or finished with decorative plaster.
An important feature of plasterboard partitions is light resistance, so it is better to use them when zoning spacious, bright rooms.
Glass mobile partitions
Frame and frameless glass mobile partitions, which can be made of transparent, corrugated, frosted, tinted glass with a relief pattern or a pattern made using the spraying technique, are extremely popular.
- A partition for zoning made of opaque glass will serve to separate the living room and dining room from the bedroom and children's room, the office from the bedroom and living room, and the bathroom from the shower room.
- Transparent models made of tinted glass look great between the living room and relaxation area with ornamental plants and aquariums.
- Several transparent glass structures are the only means of successfully zoning a room with one window on the shady side.

Mobile glass structures are an effective addition to any interior style, but they are not without some drawbacks, the main one of which is considered to be traumatic. Interior parts, including partitions, are made of tempered glass, but sometimes situations arise that are not foreseen by technologists, when even heavy-duty material cannot withstand. An equally important disadvantage of glass mobile partitions is their high cost, which significantly limits the range of potential buyers.
Among the most impressive and expensive products are partitions made of “smart” glass, which become transparent under artificial light, while matte under natural light. If there are no financial problems, you can install partitions with touch screens equipped with a virtual menu.
What tool will you need to install sliding plastic interior partitions?
To assemble a partition with sliding slats made of plastic or on a PVC frame with inserts, you will need a sliding mechanism, guides, clamps, screws and appropriate fittings. In addition, you will need tools - a hacksaw, a screwdriver, a level, a tape measure, a ruler and a marking pencil.
Mirror designs
Products with a mirror surface have a powerful energy of attraction at all times, and mobile mirror partitions transform the interior, creating a special atmosphere and helping to visually increase the space.
Partitions with a mirror surface are opaque, so they are often used to separate the bedroom from other areas. Depending on the size of the room, you can install several high vertical models or one sliding structure.
A movable mirror partition can be made by yourself. To do this, it is enough to build a stable frame from a profile, cover it with plasterboard and cover it on both sides with mirror tiles. You can make the entire surface mirrored or cover it with fragments in any combination, inserting artificial stone tiles into the spaces between the mirror elements.

Mobile partitions have many advantages, but they have a common drawback - the lack of sound insulation, which in some cases becomes an important factor not in their favor.
What is a screen - history, design
Like many things in the modern world around us, screens are a product of Eastern culture, although the term itself is German and translated means “shield”. A screen is a mobile folding partition consisting of several doors connected by hinges, designed for local privacy, which is why they are usually impenetrable. The homeland of screens is China - it was there that they first appeared approximately in the 7th century AD. e.
Having become popular in their own country, these convenient and beautiful designs spread first to Japan, and then to India and further throughout the world. And if Chinese screens traditionally had three doors, the Japanese preferred two, six or eight doors. As for materials, in China it could be either wood, decorated with carvings or paintings with varnish and gilding, or wooden frames on which fabric (silk, brocade) or paper was stretched. In Japan, a special paper fabric, gampi, which is characterized by increased strength, is stretched onto wooden frames. The canvas must be painted, and given that people in this country like to sit on the floor, the patterns are initially designed for this viewing angle.
Screens came to Europe several centuries later, and partitions with through wood carvings, which were more likely a design element than a functional piece of furniture, became especially popular there. Modern screen partitions, as already noted, combine functionality with an attractive design.
