one of the things i love about ikea is its flexibility. in my apartment, some of my furniture and spaces has to do double (or triple) duty.
cheryl faced a similar predicament. her living room has multiple personalities as a sofa and telly lounge, dining space and also work area. she also has 2 computers and wanted a room divider to hide the storage shelf and at least 1 computer.
it's a simple solution but i think she did the job beautifully.
"i used dignitet and deka and mounted it unto the ceiling. this is usually used for odd shaped windows, such as bay windows. i bought a lightweight fabric which was also on sale at ikea. cheap and cheerful divider, practical and space saving as well. perfect."
am loving the colours - the white and brown hues. as yummy as marshmallows in hot choc.

The key here is to use lightweight material. Heavier materials make the wire sag over longer distances and it starts looking like a cheap wire tacked to the ceiling with a cloth hanging from it... Not the look you want. You can always tighten the wire to decrease sag, but the wall brackets must be attached well enough to hold against the tension.
ReplyDeleteAnd the wall brakets are not included in the frigging bag. Dooes anyone knows the name of the other item to buy for the wall brakets?
