Home Decor Make Your Own Fabric Room
Divider
The primary purpose of room
dividers is to define spaces. But designers
have taken a step further by creating dividers
that are not only functional but also
decorative. And fabric room dividers are no
exception.
Fabric dividers are most
versatile and easiest to make. For the rugged
and distressed look, you can use thicker
fabrics, while soft, silky fabrics would give a
formal look. Fabrics can easily be removed for
cleaning, and can be mixed and matched,
depending on the season or degree of privacy
that you wish to obtain. Sheer fabrics can be
used for minimal privacy, while thicker types
like canvass can be used for an opaque
effect.
The simplest fabric divider
that you can make is the curtain type. With
suspended curtain rods and a piece of cloth,
you can have an instant divider. Instead of
curtain rods, a track may be mounted on the
ceiling. The cloth can then be pulled to open
up the space, and closed again when privacy is
needed. As a variation of the curtain type, you
can also use PVC pipes as curtain rods. But
instead of suspending them from the ceiling,
the pipes can be made to stand and can be moved
around and dismantled if not in use. With a few
pipes and connectors, the divider that you
create can actually go a long way.
You can also make folding
screen dividers. You can use 3 or 4 panels,
depending on the space that you wish to cover
or divide. It can be of any size or height that
you want. Cover the screen with the fabric that
you want. The panels can be stand-alone pieces,
or you can connect them with hinges. If you use
canvass or other fabric with solid color, you
can do some artwork on the fabric. Using
acrylic paint, other colored fabrics, colored
stones and beads. Create designs that would
match the room owner's personality.
Instead of screen, you can
also use wood panels. Assemble the wood frame.
Cut fabric of the same size as the frames, and
then staple them onto the frame. Glue some
ribbon on the edges of the frames to cover the
edges of fabric. With hinges, connect the
panels together to form an accordion-type
divider.
Fabric room dividers are
easy to make. Be bold in trying new designs and
colors. These dividers would make interesting
pieces of dcor for your home. Just make sure
that they match with theme of the room where it
will be placed. With these fun ideas, you can
make variations and create your personal
divider.
