<p>Anybody have experience with living in the living room or living with someone who occupies the living room? I was wondering how they’re often partitioned. I’ve seen people put up curtains, but I was looking for something a little better looking. I looked for companies that provide services to put up temporary interior walls and I found like 4-5, but all of them only operate in the NY/NJ area. Here’s an example: <a href=“http://www.roomdividersny.com/gallery2/main.php[/url]”>http://www.roomdividersny.com/gallery2/main.php&lt;/a&gt;
Are there similar companies that operate in the SF area?</p>

<p>Any suggestions? How hard would it be to put up my own wall? Or would it be a good idea to just buy a sheet of drywall and nailed both ends into the walls?</p>

<p>Maybe an office supply company could provide a portable cubicle type of divider that would give the privacy you need without altering the property. Sorry, I don’t know of any temporary wall builders here. Maybe they cannot get approval to do business in CA because of our higher earthquake risk?</p>

<p>hmmmm my brother also had to live in the living room for a while. but he didn’t do the wall thing…he just put up a curtain…i thought it looked nice =/ how long are you going to stay there? if not for a long time, i don’t think you need to spend that much money on putting up walls.</p>

<p>Ikea has this very cool free standing wall unit that can act as an awesome wall divider. Put a sheet or any cheap backing on one side and the other side is actually cubes for storage. It could double as your dresser and place for all your stuff. <a href=“Products - IKEA”>Products - IKEA;

<p>click on size and go to the largest. It’s only $149 bucks and you assemble it in the room :slight_smile: You can also buy baskets that fit in the cubes. When you move take it apart and take it with you.</p>
