How can I define an area in a warehouse studio? Separating the bedroom especially need inspiration and ideas!?
I’ve just moved into a rather funky warehouse type shared apartment- not uber ritzy or anything- and it’s got a really good artsy vibe. However- I’m a little frazzled as to how I can separate my living and bedroom areas without causing too much damage OR costing far too much money.
Firstly- there is ZERO natural light in my area- as it’s partly underground. The fluro’s work well to illuminate the place but it’s really draining. Lamps are obvious- any more creative ideas?
Second- there are exposed beams/rafters for the ceiling. Fine for most of the place- but I feel a little put off when trying to go to sleep. How can I go about covering/ disguising this? It’s just bad Feng Shui!
Lastly- there are no solid walls either- they are half cut out or benches or recesced alcove things. How can I make an illusion of a more solid wall without breaking the bank to build one!

Well I couldn’t bring up your photos, but I do have some ideas. Hopefully I can describe them so you can understand! I’m hoping my instructions can be visual is what I mean.
For walls……
You can try to find old clothes racks, the metal ones with wheels on them, and cover with inexpensive cloth. Makes great dividers. Or…..you can get 1×4′s, dowls (little round sticks), and small hinges, drill holes to put the dowls in horizontally to the vertical 1×4′s, and then hang a cheap piece of fabric, sarong, on it weaving it in and out of the dowels. I hope that made sense! It would come out looking like those expensive room dividers. You can also do this with PVC pipes. For the exposed beams/rafters that you don’t want to look at, you can build a make-shift like canopy out of PVC pipes and material. Go on some internet sites like diynetwork.com or hgtv.com. You can do a search for things like this. Also, another great site where this lady has fantastic cheap ideas…..www.couragetocreate.com. I can’t wait to try her painted linoleum idea!! Good luck. Hope this helps!
