Hi Tim, Have you thought about shoji screens?

Thanks georgi02, but I'm not sure if shoji screens would suit the style of the apartment - but i'll look into them.

Thanks for the suggestion sttop - I did consider curtains, however the feel of the space seems to lead itself more towards wood than curtain material. The apartment has a balcony with open glass along one entire wall, so light isn't a problem.

I was thinking plantation shutters or wooden slats so that I could control the amount of light coming through to the bedroom.

Hi Tim,

I love the look of the wooden slat wall for this space. It has the advantages of allowing light through, maximising the feeling of space while delineating the separate areas, and creating another wall against which to place furniture in the living area. Bear in mind that any divider will be reflected in the wardrobe mirrors, so anything too substantial or solid will make the space feel smaller. Is the a specific reason for wanting the wall to open up? It might be more practical to have a shorter, fixed wall, especially if you were to incorporate storage into it. Best of luck. I'd love to see the finished product.

Thanks for your thoughts fiona_ab & ccwhatmough

I'm thinking the same thing as far as wooden slats being a great fit for the room, there's a real fine line between creating an open space, allowing light in and keeping a spacious feel to the room.

Good point about the reflection in the wardrobe mirrors. There is no specific reason for there to be a 'movable' wall expect to give the option for the room to feel more spacious.

At the moment I am thinking about dark wood shutter / louvres. Either one or two panels (if 2 then the second would slide back).

I found an example on Pinterest I really like - and have photoshopped it as best I can into the space to see what it would look like - and I think it could really work.

The other option is to have the wood white - but I think the dark wood would compliment the other furniture / wood in the apartment.

Appreciate any thoughts!

Hi Tim! Guess we are having similar studio woes. I understand what you mean about wanting to partition the room yet not to a full extent. Someone else suggested space saving of doubling shelving as partition. Like this

The wooden shutter panels you suggested do look lovely. I'm not sure how big a space is in between each louvre but as my mum always told me, if it takes more than 5 mins to clean it, you wanna rethink it. :)

cheers,
