Treasure Hill Cottage

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful weekend staying with friends of ours’ who live in upstate New York.  They live in a beautiful three bedroom log home with an L shaped loft which serves as their master bedroom.  The kitchen, living room, bathroom and the other two bedrooms are located on the ground floor.  Although the kitchen and living room share one open space, each room is clearly defined with the strategic placement of the furniture.  The same holds true up in the loft.  Here screens were used along with furniture to divide this space into three separate spaces.   Using room dividers to section off large spaces makes the most of the area while still allowing one to enjoy open floor-plan living.

 Multi-purpose areas require some form of internal organization to avoid chaos and confusion. Room dividers don’t increase the space at your disposal, but they make better sense of it.
