Studio Apartment Room Divider - IKEA HACK! 

Hey everyone, good news...a video is coming to you TODAY! in this video I'm going to show you a major update i've done in the studio apartment. It premieres in 45 mins and you can tune in live here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UPR_w7AyFIs.html I will also be watching with you and available on the chat function throughout its premiere. I hope you enjoy it!

Brilliant idea! This is more modern and clean looking than a curtain.

Your idea is so great, made it look like Japanese style now.

With the bed being so close to the wall, changing the sheets will be a bear of a task. The only thing I hated when my bed had to be wedged in small areas. Still looks lovely.

Black paint! Gels with the door frame and the curtains too. A good contrast to the rest of the studio.

I really like this. I could see it for a teen's room as an example, or to make a closet under a loft frame, or all sorts of applications. I kind of like the idea of using it to seperate my bedroom into an office and sleep space.

I would use an ebony stain with a glossy top coat to match the frame of the sliding glass doors. This is genius!!

Thanks very much for this video. Used it to make a room divider in a large lounge but built from the floor up but butting the frames together so they are not sliding. I then incorporated a sliding door to the side using the smaller width wardrobe door. It’s a brilliant solution! and i used an experienced carpenter to assist In door fixings and glass insert, he also built the timber frame for a labour cost of 195 pounds.

The frame could be painted white to blend into the walls or stain it with a very light color to keep it light and airy. I used to have an "L" shaped studio in NY that I made into 3 separate living areas, I LOVED that apartment.

What a great idea!!! This might actually solve a room dividing problem my parents have in their appartment to seperare living and dining room! I‘ve seen similar room dividers that were not mobile and that cost 6-10times more! I really think this is a great hack! Thank you!!!!

Hey everyone, Mark here, thanks so much for all of your comments and feedback. After buying my studio I created this channel to create videos of my project and hopefully inspire and collaborate with other people. The update videos haven’t been as consistent as I wished, but I promise they’re in development. This channel is run solo by me, along side my job and whenever I see your feedback, it is motivation for me to keep going, this video got way more attention than I thought it would. The updates are coming in January, thank you all. I hope you all have an amazing holidays!

In my next life, I wish to be blessed with the ability design and execute these types of changes myself in my home. It looks great.

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing your design.

This is pretty freaking ingenious! Lovee this idea. I bet it makes the studio feel so much bigger :) Great job

Brilliant idea. I'd paint it matt black to match the frame, so it all blends in.

This seller ships this item very carefully to ensure that your room divider ru-vid.comUgkxWv_wTHyTRVm0QkcOw1Rz2-5g_gDoRTkU is not damaged in transit. They even place stickers saying glass, handle with care. I originally bought a 4 panel room divider, but after receiving it I knew I needed larger for the area I was trying to hide. I wanted a 6 panel, but it was not offered in the Espresso color that I wanted, so I went with 5 panels. This is serving my purpose very well on hiding my dog's pee pads. I ended up using the 4 panel one in a corner behind my Christmas tree. The best thing is you do not have to put anything together, you just take it carefully out of the box and place it where you want it. It can be moved around very easily. Plus, these dividers start at the floor, so nothing is seen moving around on the other side like some other dividers I looked into. Now that I have a 4 and 5 panel one, I am sure that I can get them to overlap and work other ways should I need to in the future.

Looks great! Love tiny spaces being used to maximise space and function.

The doors look outstanding and have always been a favorite. My sggestion for the window would be a white linen Roman shade. If you like tatami mats, they could be the thing that ties it together. They are 3x6 feet, look like sisal with black border. An inexpensive way to achieve them is indoor/outdoor carpet and have them bound in black canvass. Cant wait to see the finished apartment.

Love this idea! I was about to spend close to 3k to divide a space in my basement. I’m going to this instead. Thank you!!

Absolutely amazing!!!! Just what I was looking for!!

It's an amazing idea, thank you for sharing your brilliant idea.

the frame doors remind me the Japanese style thing, actually if it's the paper instead of glass it will be much lighter and safer ^^

When I get old enough to be on my own I'm planning on getting my own studio and this thing will fit in perfectly. I will 💯 get it

The glass as works well and is a nice color. I wouldn't make it dark...........great idea and something I might try! :)

very clever love people taking ikeas smart solutions to another level and love small space living solutions id paint the frame white to be more invisable to walls

A bit late, but I built a similar room divider. The only difference I made is that I built a combined room divider and bedframe with bed boxes underneath adding a ton of additional storage space. Also, I inserted the mirror pannels into my pax sliding door as it makes the room a lot bigger.

The wooden frames would look great painted a matte gray, somewhere between 70% and 90% black. You might add some pigment to the gray, such as olive green, but just enough to give the paint a very slight tint. Your use of sliding doors remind me of traditional Japanese sliders. Those are much lighter because they use translucent paper as the membrane.

awesome! i was looking for a cheap option to divide a closet in my living room. This is it!!

Great idea, really well constructed and video well edited and presented. I was searching for room divider ideas and came across this one. Really neat trick 👍

Neat!! It certainly it really looks like what I need now!!

Hey! Just discovered your channel and subscribed! I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.

Absolutely love this.

That is awesome. I am planning on doing this between our kitchen and dining room

That's really cool!!! Paint the wood black to match the doors. Great idea👍

I love this!!😀😍 thank u for sharing!!

It looks great, I suggest a dark color for the frame; either black or a dark stain. I'll be watching!!

This is a beautiful idea!!

Black paint. No doubt at all. ''Tis simply genious'

Great idea looks very nice!!

Sweet! It looks great 👍🏽

The frame would look good painted the same black as the doors. Stylish way to add privacy.

Love it!!

I'm interested to find out what you'd do for the apartment walls! I realise the main focus is the functionality of the floor plan constructs but it would really make the space look bigger if something was done to the walls! Good videos so far! 😊 Keep it up!!

Great idea!!!

I had exactly the same idea for my brother's studio but no one would listen! It looks great! I would definetly go for a darker industrial look for the wood frame. And some lighting. Looking forward to what you're going to do next

Brilliant!

I really love the look of this

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing the idea and video! I would say... You paint either matte white or matte black. Make it look seemless and flush it either with your the other window panel colour or flush it with the Auli frame colour. This way it will make your room look bigger feel bigger too.

Awesome! Stain the frame because the contrast of the frame and wood look would be classy.

This is an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing!

This is brilliant

Great idea 💡

I do love ikea hacks - this one is cool for a small apt! I would love to do something like that but I have cement walls and ceiling. I have seen in another video from Japan a way to mount 2 x 4's which then become the 'studs' to nail/screw into but am having a difficult time finding them. If you have any idea where to find them, even if I have to order them from overseas, let me know! It is a simple furniture glide attachment on a U bracket at the upper end(ceiling)of the 2 x 4 and a U bracket and leveller on the floor end of the 2 x 4. Of course I'd have to replace the glass with paper for the weight but the look can be similar.

That wide gap next to the sliding doors kinda defeats the purpose :) I assumed the sliding doors were needed to provide privacy for the sleeping area, while also having light pass through the matte glass. But with that gap you don't have any privacy or disguise the sleeping area. So any lightweight panels would have done the same job, without the need of the sliding mechanism.

Excellent ideal mate

Mahogany staining would look gorgeous! Or paint it in light gray for more light...

Beautiful work

I would do white to go along with the walls. Seamless look!

Hey there , I just found out about the wonderful of Skytta l... Glad I'm not the only one excited that ikea created a product that can be used as sliding doors in a studio

stain it light color,great idea great look thank you

It’s exactly what I wanted to do in my futur house as doors for some rooms to give a little Japanese touch to the house...

I used the white plastic fencing to divide a studio off once. Just connected fences together.

Paint the frame white as the walland your bed. Would look much better :)

This looks really good! :D

you are awsome dude nice work !

Very cool-inventive!

Amazing!!!! Paint the frame black mat color I think.

great Idea!

That is awsome.ikea is great on innovation.

Luv it- looks cool😎👍😊

very nice trick ! liked that

Very nice!

Thank you! You inspire me n i should try to improve muy tiny apartamento

very efficient yet functional

well done mark!

This was brilliant

look great very neat

Brilliant mate, just brilliant - Peter V.

i love this sssschhtuudio!

Nice mate! I’m an archi/interiors photographer in Manc - this looks like a cool project... keep up the good work ;)

Amazing Thanks for inspiration 😊

This is Absolutely fantastic

VERY NICE!

I would have tried to match that same door color to the frame, and also paint the door track black as well so it doesn't stick out so much. Perhaps some minimalist trim would go nice on that exposed side.

Great vid

Thanks looks amazing like a japanise sleeping space or dojo I might do this in my studio /1bed

Good job.

Very, very nice.

Thank you sir & it is useful thank you so much 🙏

It would be nice to see the whole room. Thanks for sharing! Fantastic idea!

What a wonderful hack, can’t wait to do this at my humble abode.

Very nice! You should paint it white! It will really look nice! 👍

I'd paint them dark, like the frames:) good job!

Looks great! I wish it was a little slower so you can actually see what took place during the project. However, it would be nice to see you paint it the same color as your slider. I think that will look wonderful. Blessings

Hi! I love your video! I'm thinking about doing this in my apartment although I'm hoping to convert a living room space into a bedroom. Do you think I'll be able to use 2 sets of pax sliding doors to make a sort of wall? Also, I'd like to make sure that the doors I put up do not make a significant change in the apartment physically meaning no real damage has been done and they are easily taken off and put on. How do you think I should go about using the same principals you've used in your apartment but without screwing anything into the floor or onto the ceiling? Also How do you feel about using the PAX doors as barn doors?

Very nice. I've been thinking about doing something similar not that I'm in any danger or ever actually having my own place but a man can dream.

The same as the room trim, it will blend in and look custom.

The frame needs lights for nighttime illumination

Love it

Danish oil would look great!
