If you’ve ever felt as if your workspace was becoming your living room – or your living room was becoming your dining area– then dividers might just be the perfect new trend to embrace.
Inspired by the folded screens of ancient China, room dividers are not only a way to add a bit of texture to a room, but an elegant option to create boundaries between areas.
Whether you want to draw a clearer line between your work-from-home desk – or even establish a cosy corner for maximum privacy – a divider helps create separation without the permanence or cost of a full-built wall.
Here are some of our favourite ways to split up a space.
Add storage with shelving
A practical way to separate spaces while adding valuable storage and display opportunities. Open shelving helps define zones without making a room feel smaller.
Create privacy with screens
A stylish, contemporary option that creates visual separation while still allowing light to flow freely through the space. Ideal for modern open-plan homes.
Keep spaces bright with glass
Perfect for maintaining natural light while creating distinct areas. Reeded or crittall-style glass can add both privacy and character.
Bring flow with fabrics
An affordable and flexible solution that can be opened or closed as needed. Particularly useful for home offices, guest areas, and studio-style living.
Quick tip
Before choosing a room divider, think about what you need the space to do: lighting, privacy, and storage all play a key part in finding the solution that best works for you.
