Four quick and easy room divider ideas

Dividers are an easy way to make room for a workspace at home. Your choice of divider basically comes down to what your needs are—more shelf storage, more clothes storage, or simply a curtain that screens off the bed?

A wall of extra storage

Using a shelving unit as a divider also gives you plenty of space for storage, plants and decorations. It can also be fitted with boxes and mini chests of drawers—an easy way to close off certain sections completely.

A screen for better focus

Sometimes a screen is just a screen, but also the most effective option for separating things and getting better work focus. Choosing a light-weight material lets you easily open and close as you like.

Close things off with clothes

Want more room for your clothes? Then perhaps a clothes rack is the best way to divide your room. It also gives you a great overview for when you’re getting dressed and makes sure that everything is well-aired and tidy.

Workflow with a flowy look

A room-dividing curtain is an easy way to get a well-defined workspace. It also adds a soft cocoon vibe when you’re in bed.
