126 Feature Divide & Conquer Residents of 5-room flats are blessed with the luxury of space –particularly in the living area. This means you get to try out different configurations for your interior and furnish it to your heart’s desire. Arranging the living and dining zones in a linear fashion helps to keep communication channels open in this part of home. Another popular option with home dwellers is to make use of the bonus square footage to create a brand new room. Wall partitions tend to feel closed in, so aim to keep it barrier-free unless privacy is priority. Find smart alternatives such as open bookshelves and low cabinets that help to create a division of space without enclosing it entirely. A two-sided sofa can help to better demarcate a shared living zone and yet keep the flow of space open and fluid. A see-through bookshelf, which allows access on both ends, makes a great divider to segregate different living areas without obstructing light or visual space.
