Room dividers

What types of room dividers and screens are available?

At IKEA, you'll find different room divider and screen solutions to create separate areas within your home. Choose from portable, fixed or folding options that allow you to divide spaces in a practical and flexible way. From a simple room separator to solutions with integrated storage, such as KALLAX, there are options to suit different needs.

How do I choose the right room divider without losing light?

The right room divider depends on the effect you want to create in your space. To maintain brightness and a sense of openness, choose solutions with lightweight materials, open structures or designs that allow light to pass through. A screen can create visual separation without completely closing off the room, making it ideal for open-plan spaces.

Can I use shelving units as room dividers?

Yes. Shelving units are a great alternative to traditional room separators. A solution like KALLAX can divide a room while providing additional storage space. Use it to create a workspace in a living room, separate areas in a studio apartment or add more privacy to a bedroom.

What materials are available?

IKEA screens and room dividers are available in different materials and finishes to complement a variety of interior styles. You can find options with wood-effect finishes, textiles and other materials that add texture and personality to your space. A wooden screen, for example, can bring a warmer and more natural feel to a room.

Are room dividers decorative or functional?

Room dividers can serve both purposes. As well as adding a decorative element to your home, they help create more functional and organised spaces. They can be used to separate a workspace, create a reading corner, divide a shared bedroom or simply add privacy to a room.

Where can I use a room divider or separator?

Room dividers and separators are especially useful in open-plan spaces. They can help create a bedroom area in a studio apartment, separate a home office area in the living room or create individual spaces in a shared bedroom. They are a flexible solution for adapting your home to different ways of living.
