The use of shelving or wall units as room dividers as opposed to a full height partition wall is a great idea. In small spaces they create a separation of living areas while still giving the feeling of a sense of space as they don’t block out the light or encroach on the space. They are also great for large open plan layouts to create different zones while still maintaining that open plan feeling. They don’t have to be high. A low level cabinet can be enough to create a separate living zone and maintain the open plan feeling.
They are an attractive decorative feature displaying books and other special pieces and functional by providing storage as well.
