Room Dividers Instantly make something of nothing. They transform a room into multi-use areas with privacy and separation. You can create the illusion of more space by using them. Some room dividers have the same strength and durability as interior partition walls. Some use more explicit materials that provide a slight separation but don’t add bulk to the space.

Your drywall skills and carpentry need to be updated for DIY room dividers. Think in terms of simple tools and easily-handled materials. Staple guns, hot glue, and hammers are the most common tools. You can use almost any material to make a divider, including rope, license plates and plastic pipes, chicken wire or chicken wire, repurposed doors and pallet wood, metal, vinyl records, and other materials.

Ikea Pax Door Room Divider

An Ikea hack is available for any home decor requirement. Jules Yap, the blogger behind Ikea Hackers, has a solution for creating a bedroom in a small apartment. A sliding wall of Ikea Pax wardrobe doors was used to divide the room. These doors with frosted glasses are available in large sizes that can stretch from ceiling to flooring and slide easily on tracks.

Fabric adjustable room divider

Jennifer Eckert, a designer, and blogger at Fresh Crush created this room divider that is inexpensive and simple. This design is very flexible, thanks to the connectors attached to the ceiling. This divider is easy to assemble because it is stretched over pre-made artist canvases measuring 30 by 50 inches.

Ikea Shelving Unit Room Divider Hack

Because they provide both storage and separation, bookcases are popular for room dividers. To make this Ikea room divider hack, rotate the shelving unit, so it is parallel to the wall. Secure the team so that it doesn’t tip. Secure the unit with solid restraints such as L brackets attached to a wall stud or the top. This can be supplemented with screws driven directly through the unit’s side into the same stud.

Fabric Divider for Coiled Wire

The room divider appears to be made of fabric, but it’s not. This is a spiral wire mesh, which drapes and hangs exactly like fabric. Oregon’s Cascade Coil created this room divider in the Hyatt Hotel. Do-it-yourselfers can purchase metal coil products and create a room divider that fits their needs.

Vinyl Record Room Divider

TerraCycle is a New Jersey-based recycling business that has created this vinyl record room divider at its Trenton headquarters. This project can be done by anyone who wants to make a similar divider. You only need a few vinyl records from a thrift store or garage sale. Next, attach the fishing line to them and hang them from hooks in the ceiling.

Wood Pallet Room Divider

Staci and Doug were shocked to learn that a Boston retailer charged excessively for a reclaimed wood room divider. They quickly assembled this divider after sourcing free wood pallets. It was used to divide a large room into an office/bedroom. This divider doubles as a vertical scrapbook. Finish nails are pounded into different spots to act as hooks for binder clip displays.

Hanging window room divider

Emily of Jones Design Company, a craft blog, purchased the beautiful salvaged antique window sash. She and her family created a DIY room divider by mounting the strap to the ceiling using a barn door track. Emily says she wanted to create a defined space but “keep it bright and open.” This window is perfect.

Divider for chicken wire

Susan, a design blogger, was reluctant to throw out her trifold room divider. It needed to be functional and updated. She removed the thin pressboard inserts from the separator and retained the wooden frame. She prefers elegant country and shabbiness, so she bought chicken wire and attached it to each section. She now has a customized DIY room divider to which she added photos and curiosities.

Simple Jute Rope Room Divider

A room divider made from organic fibers is better than one made from metal. Morgan Satterfield loves to remodel her midcentury modern house near Palm Springs. A friend offers upholstery classes in large warehouses. This hollow space can be softened by adding a divider to the door.

This DIY room divider can be made in minutes and is very affordable. The thick jute rope is cheap and can be found at craft/hobby shops and hardware stores. You can also get a thinner 1/16-inch jute rope for a lower price.

The rope can be woven between the wooden shoe plates and the ceiling. This project is not visually striking but can be used to delimit and separate spaces.

This DIY divider can be made with elementary materials, costing between $50 and $100.

Exposed Lath Room Divider

Anyone who has ever used a sledgehammer on a plaster wall will recognize the beautiful, distinctive strips of wood that emerge once the plaster is removed. These are the Lath Boards. Traditional construction used lath to attach the application to the studs.

The Brooklyn Home Company, a family-owned company, created a unique room divider from the lath boards of a plastered-and-lath wall. This wall is a tribute to the Brooklyn, New York, duplex’s roots.

The lath boards’ rough surface is an excellent complement to the smooth and light-colored walls.
