Creative Ideas On Furniture: Bookcase Room Dividers For Narrow Rooms

While working on a very long and narrow room, one of the best ideas that will help you utilise the space you’ve got in a creative and functional manner would be to use room dividers. By simply dividing the room into a couple of functional areas, you get a chance to make the most out of the space you have to work with

The approach works best in the living room, giving you a chance to turn a narrow living room into at least two areas. TV zone and a dining area are usually a nice start. Plus, you do not necessarily have to use decorative room dividers — bookcases work just fine, too.

Make sure room division is logical

First of all, make sure that your room division is logical and do not allocate more space than the area needs. This is probably one of the most important pieces of advice while using bookcases as room dividers.

Choose displayed items thematically

Another important thing to bear in mind is to display whichever units you are going to display thematically. If there is a reading area in the room, go for classic bookcase functionality and fill it with books. In a dining area, you might want to keep some fancy dishes on display.

Add mirrors into the arrangement

Mirrors inside your bookcase ‘boxes’ will cheer the room up and will ensure more segregated feeling in each of your room areas. Plus, reflecting surface visually increases available space, so even if your areas are quite small, you get a chance to boost your available space — visually, at least.

Go for asymmetric designs

Instead of classic, squarish bookcase boxes, explore diamond shaped designs. They will create a sweet, slightly asymmetric picture in your room. At the same time, diamond boxes look very neat instead of being too motley or abstract.

Contrast horizontal lines with vertical ones

Another idea to make your bookcase boxes less boring — in a standard square or rectangular box, though — is to paint horizontal lines in a light shade and vertical ones — in a dark one. This will not catch the eye too much, but will still create a distinct contrast in the room.

Decorate with live plans

A couple of live plants in the arrangement will work fine in any setting — with a rare exception of ultra modern interiors, filled with glass, metal, and plastic.

Avoid clutter

And finally, whatever you do, make sure you use your room — no matter how awkward it may be — as efficiently as it is technically possible. Stick to narrow designs and light shades whenever you can.
