Two rooms from one:
partition We start with an obvious way. That's exactly how they imagine the division of one room into two different functional spaces, most people - to build a brick, gypsum board or other partition on their border. This method is most common if you need to separate the sleeping area from some other one.
Pros: you will be on one completely isolated from the eyes of the room more.
