Create a Lattice
Wall Room Divider
|
A cheap and easy way to divide a room in two, without
blocking out the sunlight!
Use a garden lattice to create a wall room divider
A Wall room divider came in handy when I had a small home
with not enough rooms. With very little work, a wall room
divider split my bedroom into one large master bedroom, and
a small adjacent office.
Being fairly poor, I had no money for expensive wall room
dividers, permanent or otherwise. I also needed a wall room
divider that will let in light, or my master bedroom would
have been plunged in darkness.
The solution was simple. I created a wall room divider from
a garden lattice. My lattice wall room divider was made up
of three lattices, hung in a row, with the last
one hung on its side to create a doorway into the office
beyond. It was an elegant wall dividing solution that cost
very little and took less than 10 minutes to install.
This
simple lattice wall room divider will work great in
separating a kitchen from a family room, in an open floor
plan. Or to separate a kitchen from a dining room and add
elegance to both.
Here's What You'll Need to Build a Lattice Wall Room
Divider:
*
Garden swag hooks (with toggles)
* Measuring tape
* Lattice
* Twist ties (if needed)
Here Are the Steps for Building Your Lattice Wall Room
Divider:
Step #1: Measure
Measure the space for your lattice wall room
divider. Measure from wall to wall at the top, middle and
bottom for the width measurement and go with the smallest
measurement, as your walls may not be 100% symmetrical. Then
repeat for your length (height) measurement). Decide on who
wide you want the doorway to be and make a note of the
measurement.
Step #2: Lattice
At your local home improvement store buy the
lattice to fit the measurement of your wall room divider,
minus the space for the doorway. If the lattice is too
large, avail yourself of the store's cutting service to cut
the lattice down to size.
If the lattice isn't wide enough,
buy another until you reach the measurement you need for the
wall room divider width. If the lattice is too short, again
buy another until you reach the wall room divider height
required. Finally, rest a lattice on its side and have it
cut to the width of your doorway, as it will hang overhead,
framing the doorway with the wall room divider coming down
only a foot or so from the ceiling,
Step
#3: Hanging
Hold the lattice wall room divider flush with one
wall and mark on the ceiling where the first swag hook
should go, then mark the one for the end of the lattice.
Hang the lattice and follow by hanging the one next to it
until your wall room divider is complete, minus the doorway.
Then add the doorway lattice on its side at the top, hanging
from the ceiling about 1 to 3 feet down (depending on your
ceiling height).
If the lattice isn't long enough to reach the floor, attach
the second layer of lattice to the first using tie backs,
metal rings, or elegant curtain tie-backs, depending on your
preference.
