need experience and suggestions of folks in the forum - we are currently renovating our unit and we currently are having troubles deciding how best to "divide" the living and dining rooms. nothing too fancy...jus wanted to have something to make a distinction btw the 2 areas.

my designer (not ID, cos only engaged his services to design and draw up a 3D pic) suggested use of mirror to do the division, but am hoping to explore other options. do give me some ideas and suggestions how!

how about doing something like a see thru divider? i dunno if that will make your apartment look less complicating, since alot of mirrors do make the whole place a bit confusing..

thks for ur suggestion lionfreak! actually we do have another mirror wall in the dining area, so you may be right about having too many mirrors. the "partition" we were thinking of is not so much of an actual physical, but rather a pseudo-divider as that stretch of wall is rather long, we would like to have something in btw to make the 2 rooms seem separate. some ideas we had toyed about:

1. painting

2. vertical strips of mirror and wood

3. vase/statue

maybe on the cheaper side, you might wanna put something like those string curtains.. that way, you might still be able to sustain the contemporary side of your living room... im not sure if putting a painting there will actually help to divivde the 2 rooms, so if you some kinda painting at home, maybe you can experiment wif it, and see how it goes? do update me on the results though!! i'd like to know..

hi, perhaps you could consider some "non-physical dividers"....

such as different tiles, different false ceiling setup or even different lightings....

this way without the physical dividers, the whole place will surely look and feel more spacious....

with regards to the mirror feature wall, you can consider black/brown tinted mirror... they will give a more classy feel and finger prints will not be as visible....

alternatively can consider some laminate and mirror combination....

cheers

How about thin strip of colour stretching across the floor and encompassing the ceiling as well?

i agree with garion. think a different false ceiling setup seems better cos it won't take away floor space, and able to define the area is separate.
