    25 Room Dividers So You Can Easily (And Stylishly) Separate Your Space

    Whether you live in a teensy tiny studio or a large open-concept home, these partitions will help you define your space.

    1. A solid wood boho divider reviewers have put to use sectioning off home offices, bedrooms, and homeschooling areas. A handful of DIYers even used it as a headboard or a replacement for pocket doors!

    Promising review: "Ok, so, I’m in shock at how gorgeous this is. It’s solid, very well packaged, it’s big, and just beautifully crafted. I got it in 2 days and I live in a rural area. If you’re debating about buying this, you won’t regret it. WOW⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️." —Heather A. Eddy

    Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in two sizes and 20 colors/styles).

    2. A gold Art Deco partition that isn't the best option for privacy, per se, but is just the ticket if you're looking for a show-stopping piece that functions more as decor.

    Promising review: "Hefty, beautiful. Complements my art deco theme perfectly." —linda proulx

    Get it from Amazon for $113.97.

    3. A freestanding curtain divider with vertical tension rods that don't require permanent installation. The setup is easily adjustable and can be moved from room to room if you end up rearranging your home every other week for "fun."

    Promising review: "This vertical tension stand is just what I needed. Since I live in an apartment I cannot use some other options which require actual installation. My bedroom is on the east side and this setup helps keep the morning sun from waking me up. I was very impressed first with the packaging of the rods and the great directions. I am a 73 year old woman but was able to put the whole thing up by myself pretty quickly. If you do have someone available to help hold up one end it would be even easier, but I was too excited to wait for help! As for the stand itself, it is SUPER sturdy. The top rod is a tad thicker than I expected but that makes it all the stronger. I do have a textured ceiling but it works just fine (see second picture.) I couldn't be more pleased!" —kaybee

    Get it from Amazon for $157.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).

    4. A pegboard divider on which you can arrange hooks to hold your jewelry, hats, bags, or whatever else could use a place to call home.

    Promising review: "I wish I had 10 of these things! Right now, it is a divider between my craft room and the rest of my garage but I plan on taking it to craft shows this summer. Not the most lightweight piece of equipment but that's because it is well built. Just what I wanted." —Shelley Hibbard

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four colors).

    5. midcentury-inspired divider that hangs from the ceiling with ~included~ hardware. Each set comes with 24 pieces which connect via simple C-shaped hooks so you can use them all, or opt for a smaller configuration.

    MryshpDesign is a small business with all sorts of room divider designs!

    Promising reviews: "Oh wow I love it soooo much! I’ll let you know if it improves feng shui. Beautiful! Makes a great partition and not too closed off, just enough." —Jill

    "Super easy to assemble plenty of connectors provided, perfect addition to my mid-century–inspired office." —Janet Cantrell

    Get it from MryshpDesign on Etsy for $96 (originally $120).

    6. A planter privacy screen for those looking to zhuzh up their balcony, patio, or backyard. The divider holds 12 potted plants and is a great way to create privacy and provide extra shade if you're all but allergic to the sun.

    7. A rustic room divider if you're looking to define spaces without installing any dry wall. Since it doubles as shelves, you can also use it to arrange your collection of books, knickknacks, or succulents you couldn't just leave to die in the outdoor section of The Home Depot.

    Promising review: "Love this!!! Covers up my cat litter pans and defines the space in my large studio rental. Super easy to set up out of the box. Thank you!" —Sharon

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three sizes and five finishes). 

    8. A simple fabric divider with removable panels you can toss in the wash if you have pets and/or kids who seemingly make a mess of every surface in your house. 🙃 

    Promising review: "This was really easy to put together — no tools needed. I like that the fabric is removable and therefore washable if needed. The screen seems sturdy enough for indoor use, which is what we wanted. I wouldn’t use it if pets or small children are a concern, as it would tip if pushed too much. But for a Zoom background, or dividing a workspace off a room, it seems fine. Light enough to fold and move easily from room to room. Overall, very happy with this." —Alicia

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in two colors).

    9. A short shoji screen that works like a charm when it comes to hiding smaller eyesores like litter boxes and portable washing machines. Many reviewers also use them in bay windows in lieu of curtains or blinds.

    Promising review: "I never knew I'd love a screen that was only three feet tall, but here it is. We got it to block the view of the litter boxes so the fur babies can do their business in private. This wouldn't be necessary except one of ours intimidates another one, so this gives the timid one space to go without the bully staring him down. An added bonus, it does block our view of their boxes, too." —kittybits

    Get it from Amazon for $95+ (available in five sizes and six colors).

    10. A chic scalloped divider so you can cordon off a corner of your bedroom to use as a dedicated WFH space or create a changing area (it's great at concealing your "clothes chair.")

    The Inside

    The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré and Old World Weavers.

    Get it from The Inside for $549 (available in 117 patterns).

    11. An Ikea Kallax shelving unit if you're not only looking to divvy up space in your home, but also store some junk while you're at it. The 16-cubby shelf can even be customized with drawer inserts, doors, and bins if you want that storage ~hidden~.

    Get it from Ikea for $159.99 (available in four colors). 

    12. A 6-foot-tall option with a woven diamond design that's lightweight but durable so you can use it move after move if you're a rental apartment dweller.

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed this to separate my sleeping area from the rest of the room and this worked perfectly.

    Get it from Amazon for $95.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

    13. An asymmetrical fabric option that is definitely an investment piece, but because it comes in 26 different colors and patterns, you can really make sure it blends in with your highly curated decor.

    Promising review: "I love the design of it. It doesn’t weigh much and it can be folded and use at will. It gives the impression that it’s fragile but it’s standing very well and doing its function." —Keila Llanes Bacallao

    Get it from Amazon for $89+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save $10; available in four sizes).

    15. A trifold rattan room divider that looks like it was lifted from a 5-star boutique hotel in Paris — it's simply that chic.

    Anthropologie

    Promising review: "Wow! Really into this divider. Exactly what I was hoping for. Its colors and textures are beautiful and it complements the kind of boho aesthetic I'm going for really well. Also, my cat has (to my initial terror) been climbing up it occasionally and so far it hasn't shown any signs of distress (knock on wood), so I'm guessing it's pretty strong and well-made." —Mulholland

    Get it from Anthropologie for $498 (available in two colors; may take up to four weeks to ship). 

    16. A three-panel photo and mirror divider with 44 slots for your favorite pics so your privacy screen can double as a gallery wall.

    Promising review: "It is perfect — lots of room for photos, nice design, a really wonderful way to divide a room while looking at your loved ones and favorite photos. Highly recommend." —Lise

    Get it from Wayfair for $254.99.

    17. And a sculptural bamboo divider that is straight up a piece of art. The 6-foot by 8-foot piece can be arranged however you like since it doesn't have traditional panels and if you need to store it for any reason, it rolls right up.

    Lichen

    The divider comes from Lichen, an NYC–based design incubator and studio co-founded by Ed Be and Jared Blake. They have a showroom in Ridgewood, Queens. 

    Get it from Lichen for $280+ (available in two colors).

    18. A room divider for anybody who's sharing a room and wants some privacy every now and then.

    Promising review: "I bought this to use to divide a big room into two separate areas. It was easy to put together (took me and my 14-year-old under 30 minutes) and the materials seem sturdy. It stands up just fine, even on carpet, and none of my six kids, two dogs, or cat have knocked it over yet. I like that the three panels easily snap together and apart. Makes it convenient to use in several areas as needed." —eightisgreat11

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in gray and cream).

    19. A room divider with shelves so you can section off your space without sacrificing on storage. Reviewers say it's helped them to create more of a workspace or block off an area in their home.

    20. A chic room divider if you're looking to separate your studio apartment into distinct sections but stylishly.

    21. A four-panel room divider to hide that pile of clutter in your living room that you keep forgetting to put away. A room divider can also conceal large areas in your home for privacy purposes or mask that one place you just haven't had time to organize.

    22. A folding rattan room divider if you live in a tiny (but cute) studio and need to create the illusion of walls without doing any construction. This gorgeous divider will do just that while adding a natural vibe and airy feel to the room.

    24. A floral room divider to make your small space feel larger and create a zen ambiance because, let's be honest, we all deserve a spa day every day.

    25. A four-panel room divider screen to help you divvy up your space in a way that still feels open. The non-woven fabric panels let enough light through to keep things from getting too dark, while the geometric design of the wood frame provides modern, stylistic flare.
