Art and picture hanging systems can be used to define zones in a space in several ways.
Here are a few strategies and room divider ideas you can be inspired by!
Room Divider Ideas
Sometimes, you may want to create a more physical boundary between zones. A hanging room divider, such as a beaded curtain or screen, can be a great way to do this while allowing light and air to flow through space.
Shadowline Ceiling Track, in-line, Classic Ceiling Track and Xpo Rail Track are recommended for hanging and displaying a panel or a heavier screen than a large painting or a curtain.

Use Large Painting
A large painting can be a focal point for a specific room area, such as a reading nook or dining area. By hanging a large piece of art, you create a visual cue that this area is separate from the rest of the room.
One of our dear clients uses this trick to divide his dining room from the living room. It works magnificently! He installed the Xpo Rail Track on his ceiling. This track is identical on both sides, making a harmonious look in the space.
Create a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall can be a great way to define a zone, particularly in an open-concept space. By grouping several smaller pieces of art or photographs, you create a cohesive focal point that marks the boundary of the zone.
