The curtains or glass partitions can be left in solid colors or can have quotes printed or etched onto them or with some graphics like comic strips, a caricature depicting the activity of the space, a natural scape and whatever the users relate to. The base should be kept translucent in order to maintain visual lightness. Partitions should be avoided in small spaces.</p>
