Glass Partitions in Interior Design: 8 Examples

Glass partitions are ideal for small spaces—they help zone the room while keeping the interior light and airy. We explain how designers use them in their projects.

Partition from Glass Blocks

How to separate the kitchen from the living room without overloading the space with extra walls? The designer chose a partition made of glass blocks. The client found and bought them on Avito, then cleaned them at the factory.

From Metal and Glass

This "brutal" version was chosen by designer Ekaterina Ulanova for a small studio in dark tones. The partition helped zone the tiny space and set up a bedroom by the window.

Sliding Partition in a Niche

In the studio, it was hard to find space for a bedroom, so they opted to design it in a niche. A sliding partition helped separate the private area from the living room. The air exchange issue was solved with a supply ventilation system in the ceiling of the niche.

Partially Transparent Partition

This project also used glass blocks, but the partition was filled only halfway. Thanks to this, the bedroom area became more private.

Another Example of a Sliding Partition

If desired, it can be folded like in the photo. To prevent it from looking too dark in the interior, designers suggested painting the base in a salmon color.

Fully Glass Partition

Looks like a glass wall—this partition was installed from floor to ceiling. But due to its transparency, it doesn't seem too bulky. By the way, it can be closed with a curtain if desired.

Partition with an Open Passage

Previously, there was a solid wall in its place, making the hallway dark and cramped. Now natural light penetrates the room. Since no one uses the living room as a personal space, a door or curtain isn't needed here.

G-Form Partition

Anton Proshakin used a G-shaped partition to separate part of the room for a workspace. Thanks to the transparent glass, even in such a tiny space, it’s comfortable to work.
