Screen off a large bedroomIf you’re lucky enough to have a spacious bedroom, a broken-plan design can help you retain a separate area for lounging, studying or even crafting or other hobbies. It’s also a good potential trick for compact studio flats, where the sleeping and living spaces are one. Here, a storage wall complete with integrated fireplace shields the living area, but the light from the large windows and the lovely view can still be appreciated.Check out how to add luxe looks to your bedroom for a quick sale
Use for a broken-plan layoutA pocket door is a good solution for enabling a better connection between two separate spaces. A bathroom and a dressing area, for example, will need to be divided with a door when the bathroom is in use, but will also need to be connected at other times, for example when getting ready for work in the morning. In this instance, the entire wall space outside the bathroom in the hallway has been utilised for storage, with a dressing gown hook outside the bathroom that is still accessible from the bathroom, thanks to the fully retractable nature of the pocket door.What is a broken-plan layout?

Match your window framesThe sliding pocket doors in this living room blend in neatly with the rest of the room scheme, thanks to the way they mirror the Crittall-style windows beyond, as well as picking up the dark graphite tones of the bespoke shelving around the doorframe. You can just see a sliver of the glazed doors in this photo, but when pulled across they provide the effect of a window panel. Something like this is a good solution if you want to zone the space and keep the warmth in, but don’t want or need to totally screen the view of the room beyond.
