Separate the open kitchen from the living room: partition walls with an industrial look

Open floor plans and spacious room concepts are very trendy these days. The kitchen, dining room and living room flow into one another and form a single room. But it also has disadvantages such as food smells, which lead many builders to separate the open kitchen from the living room. The solution: a room divider that both ensures a clear separation of the individual functional areas and creates visual clarity. But if you don't want to miss out on the airy feeling of living and the light, you can opt for a glass partition.

Black powder-coated steel and glass combine to create airy room dividers and create the perfect symbiosis of an airy ambience and a quiet living area.
