A growing trend is to opt for more diaphanous and open spaces, much more versatile and multifunctional spaces, where different environments are created according to the needs of each moment. This way, compartmentalized homes with partitions with a lot of space for circulation areas (corridors and distributors) and with little natural light disappear.
Betting on large open spaces does not have to detract from intimacy; thanks to room dividers, we can achieve different environments with a certain independence and with their styles quickly and comfortably.
There is a great variety of folding screen room divider depending on the utility or the use that will be given to each of them.

Using curtains as a separator is a classic, mainly to separate the bedroom from the living room in open homes. They allow us to enjoy common or intimate space with a simple movement. Curtains are made of more opaque or translucent fabrics depending on the degree of intimacy and light we want.
4. Glass partitions
Glass walls are perfect for dividing two spaces without losing light, maintaining the feeling of spaciousness, and providing acoustic insulation. In the case of placing glass partitions in the kitchen, we will also prevent odors from spreading to adjacent rooms.
Leaning towards a glass wall does not mean that its entire surface must be glass. We can use panels with wooden or metal frames, a low wooden partition with glass on top, different colored glass, etc.
5. Sliding doors
It is a solution that allows you to unite spaces and give more space to the rooms that share the sliding door, and achieve the desired privacy by keeping the space completely open or closed, depending on the moment's circumstances.
