They can divide up your room so you can have different sections for different things without making the room look cluttered!
Best room divider ideas
1. Use room dividers to separate space equally
You want the room divider to divide the room up equally; otherwise, it’ll look weird! It’s best if you can use items that are equal in room height or length. You should also try and avoid using room dividers that have doorways on them as there could be one section with more stuff than the others, which will make it look uneven.
2. Get creative! But don’t go too crazy…
Once again, you want all sections of the room to have an equal amount of balance so choose your room divider wisely. You should also try not to use too many different materials for each section e.g. metal room divider, wood room divider, and potted plants room divider.
3. Think about the room height
Before you get started on making room dividers, it’s always best to measure the room so you know how much space each section has got. If one section is smaller than another, consider using room dividers that are taller in that area so everything matches up!
Now let’s have a look at some cool ideas for room dividers…
4. Cable drums
These cable drums are awesome because they’re multi-purpose – not only can they be used as a room divider, but you can also store things inside them or use them as an accessory stand. The great thing about these ones is that they’re very cheap to buy if you don’t want to do it yourself, but if you like a project then give it a go! You can either measure them against the room or lay them flat and put some wood over the top before screwing it down. Once done, sand down any sharp edges and paint away – boom! Room divider.
5. Filled cabinets
These filled cabinets make fantastic room dividers because of their room height and room width (depending on what angle they’re viewed from). They look great with plants in too which is always a bonus for me because I’d rather have live plants than dead ones…
6. Bookcase room divider
Bookcases are great room dividers because they add that room height that room dividers need. If you’re using room dividers to section the room equally, then I’d recommend one room divider per every two sections – this is because it won’t look as odd if you have room dividers coming out of your ears!
7. Potted plants room divider
This isn’t necessarily a room divider, but it divides up space perfectly and looks very natural (especially for an office). It doesn’t really give any privacy though so it’s more suited for small areas where people aren’t going to be sitting or standing next to it all the time. It also takes up half the room which is great if you’ve got a large living area!
