Maximize your space and create a modern interior with these cool room dividers
John GriffithOpen-plan areas have become all the rage lately. The more open space you have the easier it is to get creative with your interior design. Open-plan rooms usually allow a lot of freedom when deciding what you want and where you want it. That is why, they are preferred over having a designated area for each room. Navigating an open-plan area is no easy task, though. There are a few things to consider. In this article, we are going to focus specifically on ways to separate the areas in an open-plan room. And what better way to do that, than with room dividers. Nowadays, there are so many different versions of cool, modern and beautiful room partitions, which add a lot to the interior of the room. We have gathered 100 photos to show you just how cool room dividers are.
Room dividers can be used in many different ways. They can designate two separate areas, they can be used as a privacy screen or they can just be a statement piece. Either way, they are undeniably modern and on trend. So, if you want to add one to your home, check our tips and room divider ideas, as well as our extensive photo gallery.
Room dividers for every taste
In order to be able to pick the most suitable room separator for your home, you need to ask yourself a few questions first:
- Do you want to designate your areas?
- Do you want to hide something?
- How much space for a room divider does your open-plan allow?
Once you have answered all of these questions you will have a better idea for what you want. These questions will be your guide when choosing the best room divider for you and your home. It is important to remember that this piece of furniture is a part of your decor. Therefore, it should be coordinated in both colour and texture with the rest of your interior. Secondly, you need to consider how much do you want it to hide. There are room dividers which have a lot of coverage and others, which simply serve as a sort of a “wall” between the rooms. It is up to you to decide which would fit you best.

What types of room dividers are there?
- If you are looking for ways to separate the bedroom from the living room in a studio apartment, for example, room dividers are a perfect way to do that. First of all, if you want complete privacy in your bedroom, it might be worth investing into sliding doors. Ones with frosted glass are very modern, but you can always opt for the good old wooden sliding doors, of course. If, however, you just want something that designates your sleeping nook, hanging curtains or foldable room separators are also a good idea. A cool wooden bookshelf is another option.
- Another good way to use a room divider is between the kitchen and living room. Although many people find it unnecessary, having them even a little separated leaves the room feeling decluttered and organised. Because you don’t need a lot of privacy, you can use hanging wooden or metal blocks, or even fun glass room dividers with patterns on them. Another idea is to use bookcases or even planters as room dividers.
- In case you are simply looking for decorative room dividers than you have many, many options. Stained glass, different shapes made out of wood or metal, glass, cut in different shapes, take your pick.
