How to create zones with felt without building walls
Open spaces are beautiful, but often noisy and restless. You quickly lose focus and privacy. Want to create zones without building? PET felt works perfectly: lightweight, flexible, durable, and sound-absorbing. You can easily partition spaces with felt without losing the sense of openness. Discover how you can add peace and a pleasant acoustics with felt.
Why PET felt is ideal for creating zones
PET felt is made from recycled PET bottles and is known for its sound-absorbing properties. The material absorbs sound and reduces echo, making a space feel immediately more comfortable. In addition, it has a warm, soft appearance that contributes to a cozy atmosphere. Because PET felt is lightweight, you can easily mount or move it, and it lends itself excellently to custom shapes, patterns, and colours. This allows you to create zones without closing off or darkening the space, and without the need for structural modifications.
Room dividers made of PET felt: flexible division without hassle
A room divider made of PET felt is a practical way to divide an open space. Consider a workspace next to a meeting area, or a seating corner in a hospitality environment. Dividers are often lightweight and movable, allowing your layout to adapt easily to the use of the space.
Advantages of room dividers
- You change the layout without construction costs;
- You improve the sound quality;
- You maintain air and light in the space;
- You select patterns, heights, and colours yourself;
- You increase the privacy of users without closing off the space.
Many designers opt for felt panels with cut-out shapes. This keeps the area open, but still creates a clear separation.
Standalone dividers: privacy where you need it
Freestanding room dividers are ideal if you want flexibility. You can place them wherever you need: next to workstations or as a partition in a waiting area. Thanks to the absorptive capacity of PET felt, a noticeable difference in sound experience arises between the zones.
Where do you place standalone dividers?
- Between workstations in office spaces;
- At meeting areas for more privacy;
- In hospitality for a better atmosphere and less noise;
- In educational spaces for concentration and fewer distractions.
The advantage is that you don't need to assemble anything. You place the divider and you're ready to go.
Hanging dividers: moving with the interior
Hanging room dividers made of felt are a stylish way to add verticality to your design. You attach them to the ceiling and can adjust how high they hang.
Why hanging dividers are popular
- They create height and dynamism;
- They partially block sound;
- They allow light and sightlines through;
- They provide more privacy;
- They give a modern, airy appearance.
Hanging panels are ideal in large open-plan offices, entrances, restaurants, and hotels. Panels with organic openings or geometric patterns work particularly well here.
How to choose the right divider for your project
Which divider you choose depends on the space, usage, and desired flexibility. This is how to make the right choice:
Go for a standalone divider if you want maximum freedom. You can move it easily and adjust the layout when the function of the space changes.
Select a hanging divider when you want to utilize height, keep the floor free, or look for an airy separation that allows light and sightlines through.
Consider colour, shape, and pattern with every choice. PET felt is available in many shades and patterns, allowing you to perfectly match the divider to the interior concept.
