Enabling the Furniture as a Room Partition

Limited land has always been a major issue when it comes to building houses. Various ways done in order to obtain a comfortable and functional occupancy. One of them is by using furniture as a partitioned space.

Bulkhead serves to limit or separate one room into two spaces with different functions. Bulkhead so important role in the home. For, through the assertion element and function space can be achieved. Bulkhead so important that it should not be forgotten in its design, among others, should pay attention to the aesthetic side, efficiency, comfort, and its needs.

Interestingly, insulation is not just a solid wall. Many elements can be applied as a barrier, including when we want to use furniture as an insulating space. Various advantages can be obtained, first to minimize the budget. That is, the cost is supposed to make the wall insulation can we cut. So we do not spend money twice. For the walls and furniture of the room.


Second, to maximize the dimension of space, with a note when furniture was made to move or shift. Third, for efficiency, with the presence of furniture space that functioned as an insulator, we automatically do efficiency. As the sealing room at once to make it as a place of storage of goods that are interior space. Whether its cabinets or just a simple limiting form that is more practical.

Fourth, we can freely creative with shapes, materials, and finishing, its function can be tailored to our needs, as we want.

While the shortcomings, if considerations negate the massive wall as a barrier only because of the economical budget, usually costs required to make furniture divider can be much more expensive than a brick wall.


In arranging the furniture as a divider, there are several considerations that need our attention. First of comfort, convenience can be created if we optimize the baffle can be appropriate and in accordance with needs. Second aesthetics, bulkhead arrangement should also refer to the design theme in order to determine the form of home furnishings.

Thirdit is no less Important is to determine the type of separator.. Bulkhead is wanted functioned like what? Would like to be moved within the meaning easily moveable wall or as a substitute for the function? Then wanted to partition high as what? What is the full height ceiling or below the ceiling? After a clear function and height, then we can choose the form of furniture that want to be a restraint. We can choose the form of furniture that will be used as insulation in accordance with the tastes and match the needs. 


The simplest form is thin indeed skesel character only obstruct the view at the same time establish flow. Can also other forms, such as TV cabinets of two faces. So, which side is placed facing the family room TV, on the other side can be used as bookshelf or display space overlooking the other. Other models are made from wooden poles are arranged in such a way and then combined with a mild form of cabinets, so it can function as a barrier moving.


Lots of furniture that can we create a barrier or partition. Importantly, our creativity in exploring the form of design should not be restricted.



Determination of character is closely related to the theme of furniture design and function of these seals. Because the furniture is part of the interior, it must establish harmony with other elements in the space. If necessary, it functioned as an insulation barrier between the two design themes in a slightly different space.

Void Creating more Light House, Field, and Healthy


Void is a hole between floors in the terraced house. The role of voids in the house is so important. Its function is not only a residential look roomy, but useful as well as air circulation and good light in the house. Therefore, the void can be a perfect solution for lighting in daylight and air circulation into our homes.

Voids are formed or deliberately created in the interior of buildings with a variety of reasons. Among them, first because he wanted to create a broad impression of a room. Second, wanted to create air pockets or air flow to keep the room comfortable. Third, to create the impression of height in a particular room. Fourth, to give the impression of a distant view or extend the visual range from bottom to top.


The function is usually void (in most small-scale) formed in the area of the stairs. Because usually on the stairs should be free for increased flow of people do not collide. so, its location is usually located on top of or above the staircase landing overall.


However, in general terms used to describe the void with no floor space located on the 2nd floor where through space we can see the space underneath, but still under the same roof.

In designing the void is good and right, there are a few things to note, among others, the size and spacious home. The amount of voids that are made should be adapted to the area existing home. So, if the size of the house is not big, nor should the size of large voids. More than that, consider also the space that will be located under the void so that the laying and setting a fine.


In principle in all the houses can be made void. Whether small or big house. Only, all depend flair homeowners in the process. No matter how small the land, usually at least a small family needs must be met, from the primary spaces until the service area.

Usually the void created or created if it already met the basic needs of the room. Or it could be said remaining space ruanganlah made void.

The second thing to note is that structures and construction, in principle, make the structure similar to the design and construction of another space, which is only a blank floor. However, usually concrete beam around the void of his binder must be strengthened.

Another alternative may be enlarged or enhanced by the quality of concrete or enhanced pembesiannya. Usually the legs are also reinforced foundation.


In addition, note also the use of floor beams and buildings. But avoid the use of hanging beams with overstek that are too large. We recommend that you consult the expert or architect for the structure obtained using the structure and construction of safe, yet efficient in cost and quality of the resulting space to be good.

As for determining the void hole, usually a minimum amount proportional to the module structure column. However, it could also use two or more modules.


To reach the ideal point, arranged for us to look from above and can be looked at from below as well. Usually a person's point of view it 45 degrees. The best position in a void space is the highest share of the most heat. However, it can not be used as a benchmark. Because, in the application, usually all depends on other aspects in the field.

Through the void, air will continue to flow balanced between the air coming out of the house and exchanged with new air. The trick does not need direct from the top of the void. We can create air flow through the open windows of the spaces that intersect with the void.


It is no less important to consider is the safety factor. Because, every opening, the tendency to approach it ourselves or want to see it is definitely there. That is, if we are on top, usually to see the activities below we will try to approach void.Untuk, the presence there as a safety railing is absolutely void on the top floor, especially if there are children who live in our homes.

Railing materials that can be used quite diverse, from glass, metal, concrete walls, to wood. Or for another alternative, maybe we can try to combine various materials.

Selecting any railing should not be a horizontal pattern, especially when we have small children.
