A change in floor height between the entry and the nearby kitchen also creates separation without closing off any of the space. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUbODhSUjifIIaQlJEQVuRy4CuG9YrJZWBoiXRp5DoTK4zNOtIewml3OBv3W4JreMm6n4QXJgVS420MiTTYgkKDeDMQ2Fak2UHjPJyN84bSkPbNVqp0VoG3x4Ehw38YvunussOdKVlE0Y/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thick columns topped with beautiful crown molding lend style and separation between this living room and the adjacent kitchen. The half wall between the columns was topped with a slab of granite, transforming the space into a casual breakfast bar. Family members and guests seated in the living room can easily converse with the chef without getting in the way of the work zone. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9gNpvFfSa7UPWKpZL-KqfOLRk2zS7KgGAU_nNEIIYoijZVloGeIKupxxuHas0-vKMatK0wZxWwcPt-OQcLbjpiXSQUGLFYI2uXSj7X0ZLUG1M-nIGBsZsCsnOJhgiau_neHgbri-DqM/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here, a bank of multipane windows between the living room and the front hallway makes both areas feel lighter and airier. Long shelves below the windows provide another layer of separation as well as open storage and display space. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaUWxNEn1R58ExYJBDQdUESeYZQg5H7nGsILgb2F3MLeRsfkIjmPp-wEdyDVm1C2WMiIjPzfI4XrLtlmbz2PMWgsG16a-4XgA6diuR9tkmO2sM2ZiwuEnq29wvxOQGzU0r_GXIutsYxiA/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A floor-level change and a broad passage delineate this entryway from the living room, sharing views while preserving a separate identity for each space. The family room's lowered floor allows the ceiling to truly soar. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWY3lmZpbVEUrJ6swdbomIRe7C2u4TWzkPfMtquz7fIeqqEvqlyXF5DGqqYed4jo-xOrrc_4ldbiEhJtYFLetGqYrGrx6Rz1YHDYwdrOcf5kTasCiyRXv61wVNhSm1_UzEC2YWVCRM3Qs/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here, a large storage unit installed on one side of the front door gives the look of a distinguished entryway. Rather than extending the piece from floor to ceiling, it only extends 3/4 of the way up the wall, which delineates areas of the main level without interrupting the flow of the open floor plan. The high-gloss finish of the storage unit reflects natural light, helping the the space feel even more open. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbg-29NP4LEwa-O6Z3dhpluB01gmJC4Mz-aAGidAPCaVGGjCg7PXzmzSxyIr4gQg5zleHtr4LegWav5UUrKersMSLSmP5yH3RBuo7sXVxrGdnjTDjCxyTK0XXd9bg1PcbL-b56sBkV5A/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two doorways flanking both sides of a large built-in storage unit and fireplace combo create an open passageway between the living room and kitchen. Including two doorways not only adds to the openness of the home, but it also lends a sense of balance that blends well with the traditional style decor. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQdpnXEopyeSF4k_BUYAdwJfrOc6ut1LjNAy6u8eJ3fbVQGZi07jEb8c4CTxiTaYNAxNtwMPtyqQ8zncWLG97HLkcIvbNU1omofWhTKW8nwKfyTHENc_FF0XIwkFj8YTN3aHVum2mUUSM/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both a storage wall and a style statement, this wall of floor to ceiling cabinetry creates a breezy separation between the front entry and the kitchen. The frosted glass inserts on the upper cabinets also help the divider look more airy. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5reVoP27fm6AlQ73hoP6T3Lkc8D8I7wPwm-ReSGeaK7YFMl58Y9Uo-x5fElCdbpIUDkt3ypUp2SHxRfyKibYxqcsWZ1EKFtONFqcjDslZYKWssfxnNGk-SmOHMPO7-uXDH2eTWjwOGZQ/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To open up the room to room flow that encourages social engagement, limit the number of walls that you use to define separate spaces. Here, a quarter-wall offers slight separation between the front entry and the living room without blocking the stream of light from gracing both areas. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO2mgH3S0OqyrijZcjgoG7hT2jMwTU4NZqUnDUR2rP5X7cC-8U_zJYtL4nSbxgjcban5H6VEbLkWwFqvOphfotBL7LN7XqQxuk5fQDvAvSQeNLodgeuMuzwrLuoR9mugXJC7R9D5WR_y4/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Create privacy in a bathroom by installing a frosted-glass wall panel. Unlike a normal wall, this frosted glass option allows light to pass freely between the main area and the toilet while still offering plenty of privacy. Sharing light enhances the sense of space in both areas. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7fIvviTzpQcJeCH_Fe4QQ0_9vpNvOtAWd42hcZPqJ9g_WSm2fGLm8jSpC7Khzne7Fl5iIqvCpB8nF-Lero-5LMK88BAG5w2-KFtElYM8zeNVQM0ikjvIvqJ2Kr4aXBWHT1Jv5B5dDHCc/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With a wide open floor plan and soaring vaulted ceilings, this home could have ended up looking stark and cold. But rustic wood beams and columns affixed to the walls and ceiling lend separation and help break up the expansive main level. Here, the columns and beams join to form a faux doorway between the entry and living room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrAAYvhcEYvawJS8TqgX2vm5t3IeD6Xm_URuyOpWF3NP9VA712XnGKwk1X0Wz83j8z-P1LnGmB9UMrhLVzErOFtWiL_NvJEP4fcmSmsb1gKYQIpwxKW1gXgIoJYGhp-bFqiGbRL2gK0dM/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here, an opening between the formal dining room and kitchen makes the spaces seem bigger and provides shelves for storage and display. The cabinets above the countertop feature glass shelves and window panelike doors, allowing light from the large kitchen window to stream into the dining room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrW6oKuhxa5Z__DC34lQAMgE3bPmCNFvVeMidyTrl97WrE7DfAs8VNMwk44sCjUW00Z3xDWn0psMlVeQeHMe6LI7BNk4iwBQ9r_18d7cxb0jUv8vwYS0j4101QcMYOIpFlzT_oyKRHoE/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In this home, the front door opens immediately to the living room, but a freestanding folding screen offers slight separation between the areas. In addition to saving money on a costly renovation, the partition defines space while still allowing light to pass freely throughout the faux entry and living room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhKZ1CYBvaGR7fCcmp9UoTc0LYTYeBeV5crurROmQIeOVubKPeEzIEWuPkDRbmfRDifvm8inn1yl9xqaE6gqnv0lAEdil12cP_k4lwNN5n9m8FJRGUQwVT2Spr4_lIriX3IuQVQfWyyM/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A built in banquette creates a smooth transition between the kitchen and nearby living room. In addition to providing a casual dining spot, the banquette creates a smoother transition between the hardworking kitchen and the relaxing living area. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL_AjEUXJzEfeXbRQfArUF9ZewjhRZfAgFb_msP6aEhUt7H6LH3NIQ5TSHXDxOX5qqVJimHNDu8b6OCEqG-KswHt7cWQFSNUugJBiZw-oR346G3y0KKhSsPH6EfX6p-5GCj_kkvimz0Q/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lofts satisfy the desire for generous living space, but they also call for creativity in addressing the natural desire for functional zones. Clever furniture arrangements help distinguish the zones throughout the main level of this home while still emphasizing the wide-open floor plan. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhExpewzqcyCZmdbIozYrNKlxA2Jh2Sqaxnc0VZkRTrcRVzWeXWQsdfDBQ3gR4zjJLIz4-qR-dvDZMxYEPaa8S5G8-iCWksp8bXgoLUcoeit-h6Sdp88n0nI7rifnjXndv7oWGjCaPr59U/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-15.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In this bathroom, the back to back vanities are separated by a dark-stained wood wall, which lets the homeowners be in the bathroom at the same time without getting in each others' way. The wall and vanity tables were constructed from the same wood, which allows seamless division between the pieces. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGoyziDrIk19Wxe3_rKapbD-GZMkN6Z0HCgX_qQR77iqUXwvXAwguTj4y18iSrhViMTlcBm3pHwRX2X2C4Vk-wcAoeOytfckxYoR4jILrs5kPh6Ho8qWm9uAL1u3TNKjGQYFMJSckckjM/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-16.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A floor to ceiling double sided fireplace divides a long, narrow room into two separate living spaces. Each area benefits from the cozy fire, but the room feels more welcoming with the addition of the separation. Expansive sliding glass doors allow a steady stream of light to grace both living rooms. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkwrVwbz5C_o2tzff3NutX3nrQc2NKTjzc1TVFTft_pqvQqXrB_LpMLRMiKmqkj6_KAhMLpw3NFDz-wbH07KYqDFtp4uwz3HTGiGlBtwDh_EmDeyMP_OQQeWwVmXstC918Hvv9GW2vxYk/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-17.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obscured glass panels suspended from the ceiling form a sleek partition between this dining room and the nearby living room. The frosted-glass panels provide the separation offered by standard walls, but they don't interrupt the open floor plan of the home's main floor. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmpiv86lkdsGLTwEYZJpjBbKhsUFZmswEeqiabFz71gJKrBdu8YnWf8ZRGVxdF3WK3PxPixxqWLjS9r9KTtUeCOqzloN2oOjbY3x8AI3Pe2P4cTS8LZ184AVySMPtT3KDbQM83sY3rouE/s1600/Room-Partitions-Transitional-Elements-2014-Ideas-18.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A banquette island combo installed in this kitchen makes the most of the room's limited real estate. In addition to providing plenty of prep space, the banquette creates separation between the kitchen and formal dining room. Glass panel cabinet doors on the dining room side of the unit provide storage space for pretty drinking glasses. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

This is immediately apparent to anyone who happens upon this vibrant part of town, where the street teems with activity — dogs, young children with their parents, charming boutiques and wine shops, cafes and bakeries. Climb up two flights of stairs above the Savory Spice, and you come upon the atelier of O Interior Design, founded in 1999 by Andrea Monath Schumacher. She opened her business after amassing an impressive collection of credentials: a B.A. in interior design, graduate studies at the University of Colorado in architecture, certification from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Next, Schumacher did a set design apprenticeship with NBC’s Days of Our Lives, then worked for Columbia Pictures as an in-house designer. The rest, as they say, is history. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhymjkzvOH4cVMdP38V7wWTkKeWOlg-B3KTbwOS2sAm_bzEu2W9LYg1ou6h7zIH5QhyphenhyphendiB613FkhMosut4-hCfn0Z6pAXVYz5wUtGqcM5s17S4HMzKlNtmU2jurNyKX__Tlh34Y8XkEaqyv/s640/2013-transitional-living-room-decorating-ideas-by-Andrea-Schumacher-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This neutral living room is enlivened by the rich texture of the materials and the bright pops of color.
