And you can easily install this design into your home too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Installing the Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ndesign is pretty easy to install, all you need to do is hang a floor-length\ncurtain or panel on the ceiling between two rooms, just in the same way as you\nwould hang a curtain over a window. You can also add curtain ties to the space\nto transform between open space to divided rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep\nin mind; your space won\u2019t be looking the same as Mark Sikes designed home. But\nyou can surely make yourself a unique space by adding some of your creativity\nto your design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is so simple to install that you don\u2019t even need to call your builder, you can do it all by yourself.
