Room divider

Room dividers can add depth and luxury to a one dimensional space. They allow you to divvy up a room for multiuse, which can help you to get the most out of your space. If you’re interested in finding new ways to revamp your space, consider some of the many DIY room divider ideas.


Simple jute rope room divider

For a simple and affordable room divider, try a DIY rope wall divider. These homemade room dividers are set up with wooden shoe plates mounted to the ceiling and the floor. The rope is then connected from the top to the bottom.

While the divider won’t block the space you’re separating, it does an impressive job at keeping the space separate. 


Exposed lath room divider

Underneath plaster walls, you can find stripes of lath. Lath boards were originally used in construction as a foundation for wet coatings of plaster. Used as a room divider, these boards create a rustic aesthetic that can complement any style of room. 


Geometric room divider

For those aiming for a more advanced project, consider geometric DIY room dividers. A geometric folding screen is known for its unique, almost futuristic appearance. Common elements include sharp lines and shapes. This unique room divider is trendy and will give your space a sleek and modern appearance. 


How to make a room divider

Ready to make your own DIY room divider? Materials needed to complete this project include:


  • Nails.
  • Wood frame.
  • Wood pieces for design. 
  • Hinges.
  • Screwdriver.

Once you carefully measure and cut the wood, place them in frames to create a pattern of your choosing. Consider painting your wood in metallic shades for a more futuristic appeal. 

So, ready to separate your space with your very own room divider? Consider checking out your local craft and home goods stores for materials needed to get your project started.
