Solving the problem of privacy in open space
Open space design, especially the kitchen-connected living room, is becoming a popular trend in modern apartments. This arrangement helps optimize area and increase connectivity between family members. However, an obvious disadvantage is the lack of privacy and difficulty controlling noise and living odors.
According to Ms. Laura Stevens - interior design expert at Studio LSI (USA): "Open space does not mean ignoring boundaries. Soft partition layers help shape functional areas while maintaining ventilation.
Instead of building fixed walls that are cumbersome and costly, the current trend prioritizes flexible solutions that both ensure functionality and enhance the aesthetics of the living space.
5 effective ways to create privacy, without renovation
Light wooden lattice: The wooden lattice system with parallel bars helps to separate space delicately without blocking light, suitable for modern or Japandi style.
Matte striped glass prevents odors, keeps light: Mesh or striped glass walls help hide the mess, limit the kitchen smell spreading to the living room but still ensure natural light.
Flexible sliding door: The sliding door system allows opening and closing according to needs, easily turning a common space into a private area when needed.
Soft fabric curtains: Curtains hanging from the ceiling to the floor are a cost-effective solution, creating a cozy feeling and can be folded down when not in use.
Open shelf combined with green trees: Two-sided shelves combined with green trees are both a light partition, increasing storage and creating an ecological highlight for the house.
The key lies in the flexibility and sophistication in the way space is divided. With just small changes, homeowners can both maintain the airiness of an open house and ensure the necessary privacy in daily life.
