1
Use furniture to divide the two spaces. Put a buffet, or another large piece of furniture, in the center of the room to break up the two areas. Leave ample space around oversized pieces to avoid making the area feel overcrowded.
-
2
Arrange a group of furniture near or on a rug to separate one area from the other.
-
3
Paint the rooms in contrasting colors to create a visual separation between the two rooms.
-
4
Place a movable divider, such as screen, between the two rooms.
-
5
Transition from one area to the other with a pair of columns flanked between the two spaces. Complete the look with decorative millwork for architectural interest.
-
6
Build a partial wall to maintain a mostly open feeling while still allowing for some privacy from one room to another.
-
7
Install a wine bar with an open serving area and glass shelves to physically separate the two rooms but tie them together with the function of the piece.
-
8
Separate the rooms with a double-sided fireplace while adding a touch of warmth and intimacy to both areas.
