Whether you’re living in a studio apartment or renting a studio for your work, you never knew the blessings of having multiple rooms until now. Even though it is still the same amount of space, multiple rooms in an apartment or work space give the definition you crave.

They also give separate spaces to which you can retreat if you share the space with a friend or significant other. Multiplying rooms within a studio is completely possible with studio curtain dividers, but it will take some planning. Know these steps to successfully dividing your studio into many rooms, and then grab your curtains to get to work.

Map Out Your Floor Plan

Before you start hanging studio curtains, you will need a plan of action. Grab a pencil and some paper to sketch out how you want to set up your space. Decide which areas and corners will be the bedroom, living room, and work space. Create multiple drafts with different combinations to find the best fit for the space that you have. Remember to consider the furniture that you need to accommodate and think about where the “doors” will be placed.

Think About Colors

If you’ve hung your studio curtain dividers and the space still looks like one communal blob rather than multiple rooms, consider color-coordinating your spaces. This doesn’t that your apartment should look like blocks of bright legos stuck together, but assign subtle color themes for each room to make them psychologically distinct from one another. The whole space should still flow together and make sense as one unit, but you can add small accents like blankets, throw pillows, and decorations of the same color to tie one room together.

Get Creative

While 33% of weddings occur in a religious institution, you may not want your home or workspace to look like one with heavy curtains hung everywhere. Fortunately, there are several different options when it comes to studio curtain dividers. Sheer drapes are a great and lightweight option for those who want a more whimsical feel in their space. Poly satin drapes make for an elegant look and give plenty of flexibility in choice of color. You could even invest in a screen projector to use as a divider as well as a reason to host movie night.

With the right drapery, you can transform a cramped studio into a space with clear divisions. Think outside of the box, or perhaps inside of one, and give your studio space the walls that it needs.
