Drywall is a versatile material from which you can easily create any design structure, so it is often used to build partitions in apartments. Decorative plasterboard partitions can perform an aesthetic and practical function, have any color and shape, depending on the wishes of the owners. Let's look at the options for the location and design of the partition in the interior and find out how to make such a design yourself.
Partitions in the hallway
Most often, drywall constructions are erected between the hallway and other rooms. So that interior doors do not clutter up the space, an arch or a curly design design is made of drywall.
This is especially true for apartments in which the entrance hall is combined with a living room or kitchen. To separate these two rooms, you can make a beautiful partition with an arch or an unusually shaped structure. In this way, the boundaries of the rooms can be clearly marked, and dirt from the street will not get into the living quarters.
You can hang a mirror on the partition in the hallway or organize niches for shelves in it. Also in this design, you can hide additional lighting.
You can visually expand the hallway with trapezoidal or round compositions. They can perform only an aesthetic role or be used for practical purposes: as a shoe box, a housekeeper, a vase stand.
Partitions for the kitchen
In the kitchen, various designs are used to separate the cooking area from the dining area. A bar counter can act as such a separator. You can buy it in a ready-made kitchen set or build it yourself from drywall.
For the kitchen, you can come up with an interesting option for finishing the partition. For example, you can cover it with decorative brick or stone. If you add flowers and lanterns, you get an interior in the style of a French cafe.
Some kitchens are combined with balconies to expand the space. In this case, it is not necessary to break the entire wall. You can leave a part and make a partition out of it. With the help of drywall, you can give it a figured shape, since this material bends easily. This design can serve as a work area, dining table or bar counter.
Partitions in a studio apartment
Studio apartment The good thing is that you can make any layout in it. To do this, you only need drywall, from which you can create a structure of any shape and size.
Most often in the studio they make partitions between the kitchen and the living room. It is quite labor-intensive to build a solid wall, you can separate these zones with a light structure that will not reduce the space.
The shape of the partition can be any. This may be an arched ceiling structure that will descend to the floor in columns or a small rack with shelves for books. You can make a low barrier and put an aquarium on it. Also, flowers, vases, figurines, photo frames can be used as additional decorations.
Living room zoning
Space zoning is necessary in a one-room apartment, where a living room, bedroom, office are combined. A decorative drywall partition can separate these areas so that the people in them do not interfere with each other.
Between the bedroom and the living room, most likely, you will need a serious wall that will protect the bed from the light from the living room. Also, a screen is needed in order to hide the bed from guests.
You can make a niche for the TV in the living room, which will go into a narrow wall near the bed.Such a design will simultaneously create a feeling of completeness of the interior of the room and the unity of the entire space, and at the same time separate different zones.
It is also better to separate the working area with a computer desk from the recreation area. Otherwise, the TV will distract from work. You can build a wall with shelves on which books and necessary papers will stand.
Partitions in the nursery
Decorative partitions are simply necessary in a room where several children of different sex or age live. Each of them should have a personal space and their own corner. The easiest way to do this is with drywall walls.

For an older child, calm tones and more adult furniture are chosen. For the younger, fabulous motifs on the walls or bedding are suitable.
