"If you have a roommate, live in a small studio, or want to break up a large open area, you might wish for walls where there are none. But unless you're doing a big remodel, this isn't always possible. Enter the clever room divider, which can be opened, closed, or rearranged on a whim-a particularly handy feature in rentals, and in spaces that need to serve more than one purpose."

"Above: Of course, it's possible to buy chic folding dividers, but we particularly like the artful way this wood and rattan screen is positioned-bent at a right angle, rather than zigzagged, to cordon off a bed.

Room dividers create temporary walls to break up shared or open spaces without major remodeling. Portable solutions such as partitions on wheels enable easy reconfiguration and privacy, using rolling racks, linen sheets, and shower curtain rings to separate sleeping nooks from living areas. Folding screens can be positioned at right angles rather than zigzagged to artfully cordon off beds while maintaining style. Curved curtains and bold, custom partitions offer additional flexible options that suit rentals and multifunctional rooms. DIY and shop-bought approaches both provide inexpensive, adaptable ways to define zones, control sightlines, and preserve open-plan versatility.
