Hello everyone,
I am currently planning a redesign of our living room and would like to separate the living area from the dining area (or play area for our daughter).
We prefer an open style (like panels), ideally combined with storage space for toys.
We were thinking of something like this:
DIY skills: I gained a lot of experience during the house build two years ago and am open to trying new things.
However, the project should not require too much craftsmanship and should be doable for a hobbyist.
Does anyone have experience with panel-style room dividers? Which systems are practical and feasible—preferably combined with a suitable shelf for storage?
The panels from the local hardware store come with mounting brackets for gluing to the ceiling and floor—I’m not sure what to think about that... Since we have underfloor heating, gluing to the floor might make sense—but I would prefer if the panels were screwed directly to the shelving unit.
Also, I find the floor and ceiling brackets visually quite unappealing.
Of course, the whole thing should be as affordable as possible—we need about 1.20m (4 feet) in width.
I would appreciate any input that could support such a DIY project.
Most of all, I am interested in how to fix the panels to shelving units or possibly also to the floor and ceiling.

No floor attachment instead of cabinet fixing. And I completely agree. I see individual attachment as a bad idea.Ah, I see – you mean it looks awkward if the panels in the complete system are screwed between floor and ceiling, and then there is a shelf placed in front of them?
That way, from the back, you can see the panels and the back of the shelving unit through.
