For some people, apartment living is about working with what you have and getting the greatest utility out of a small space. Those who are combining working, living and dining areas into one space may not have enough room to use additional furnishings to separate the distinct zones.

According to ApartmentTherapy.com, one style that has gained traction is design circles is to use vibrant curtains or tapestries to separate certain areas. This will allow you to add additional colors to your space in a pinch, and it's a cost-effective way of cordoning off areas for various purposes.

To keep the open layout of your living room intact, consider hanging these fabrics from ceiling arches or attaching them to hooks, leaving a space to tie them up and part them to the side. They could be a wonderful addition to flank the area around a small sofa or apartment sectional and add color, patterns and functionality to a room.
