How do I make two rooms out of one??
I live in an open concept apartment (living/dining room).
I want to divide the space, yet cannot build something permanent (rental).
My living room is inspired by my love of egypt, while my dining room is modern and artsy.
Help!

You can use bookcases, divider screens, or curtains, suspended from cords or similar, suspended from the ceiling, using 3M adhesives for the desired weight.
There is a product by Ikea that will hold curtains from the ceiling. And if you use an Ikea curtain they come in very long sizes. You could also use a painter's drop cloth since those come in very long sizes as well. Here are some ideas. =curtains%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=divider%7Ctyped]https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=curtains%20divider&rs=typed&term_meta[]=curtains%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=divider%7Ctyped Here are the products from Ikea https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/living_room/18891/

Room Divider
Hi Micheline. I'm Cindy. You can make your own screen that you can use as a room divider. All you have to do is get some shutters and join them together with hinges. Paint them the color of your choice. When you move, take them with you. Wishing you all the best.
Try a room divider maybe a planter or a screen that stands up
I love the Ikea Kallax room dividers for a modern look and it will give you lots of display areas for your Egyptian art. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70301542/
I have also used a row of tall bookcases when a solid wall is desired, simple screw them together thru the sides and put a couple metal anchors up to the ceiling to ensure it doesn't tip over.
I would make a pvc frame/stand hanging curtains on it, also you can put up Bookshelves leaving the back panels off so it’s open.
You can also use drywall boards.
