You will need to purchase wooden planks (or planks of other material covered with veneer), a pair of metal racks and a coil of thick durable rope. Instead of one of the slats, you can insert a “slate board” - this is modern and convenient, for example, in the kitchen you can write down “tasks” on your own board yourself or at home.
Creating a decorative partition with your own hands is not difficult. Of course, you will have to work hard, but it will become a real decoration of your interior, give it a unique look.
This option is suitable for almost any style solution, if you follow simple rules:
- The color of the veneer of the boards should be selected in accordance with the color of wooden furniture or other wooden interior elements. It can be either in tone or in contrast.
- You can add bright accents by painting the rope in colors suitable for the general gamut of the interior using dyes for fabrics.
Materials
In order to make a decorative partition with your own hands, you will need:
- two racks made of IKEA (STOLMEN system, height from 210 to 330 cm, are placed disputes between the ceiling and the floor);
- six wooden or laminated planks (you can use parquet boards);
- a coil of rope or rope of suitable thickness;
- special “slate” paint and primer under it (if you plan to write on one of the boards);
- building glue or glue gun;
- scissors, tape measure, pencil.
Process
Making a decorative partition is easy, following the sequence of actions.
- In the right place, fasten the counter strut, the distance between them should not exceed 80 cm.
- Stand back about half a meter from the floor, glue the end of the rope on the stand with glue, and tightly wind around 10 turns. Cut the rope and close the end.
- Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom and to the top edge of the winder - it should be the same on another rack. Write down these values - when you make a decorative partition with your own hands, you will need them.
- Unwind the rope and use as a template to cut 13 more pieces of the same. Support elements and stops will be made of them.
- Again, measure the distance you already know from the floor to the bottom edge of the winder, wind the same lengths of rope on both posts, securing each turn with glue.
- Lean the first board against the rope supports, take the rope, wrap it around the rack, and secure it with the overlap on the other side. Cut 12 of the same pieces of rope to secure the boards, and secure the first board to the second rack.
- Repeat until you have attached all the planks. Wrap another ten turns of rope over the upper bar - here it will serve as a height limiter.
Thus, it is not difficult to make a decorative partition, you only need to follow the technology.
It is much more difficult to choose the right color and material of the boards (these can be cork strips or even plastic plates) that are most suitable for your interior. If you need a higher or lower partition, change the number of boards you will use.
