d*s readers jessica, caroline and stacey asked if i would build a room divider guide asap for some guests they had coming into town. room dividers run the gamut from screens and hanging panels to full on storage units. i’ve chosen my favorites above and below but i always suggest using fabric to create an inexpensive divider panel. you can pick up inexpensive fabric at repro depot, purl soho, ikea and hancock and then use wire or curtain rods to hang them between spaces. have an idea that isn’t listed here? feel free to add it in the comment section below. there are six more slides after the jump so click here for the full post or click “read more” below.

These are beautiful. I’m going to be looking for some inspiration for our DIY room dividers that I plan on making soon, so this really helps. I wish I had the money to shell out on these pretty ones, though!
I love the “algues”…algae? So cool. Wouldn’t that be fun to put in a small studio apartment…give it that “mossy” appeal. This is a great guide. Are the Lily Yung ones felt?
cakespy-
yup! the lily yung piece is die-cut felt.
and algues is french for algae. the bouroullecs are french ;)

Ikea’s expedit makes a great room divider.

where is the burnt orange tree curtain/screen from? I can’t seem to find the link…
I love the coil room divider but I swear it was 100 bucks cheaper there a month ago….
gravy service is the design firm studio that made the shelving & counters @ the curiosity shoppe- they make an amazing room divider… http://tornadosinbrooklyn.blogspot.com/2007/10/gravy-service.html
girl, you read my mind!!! i’m totally fiending for the parfait screen right now and this guide is a boon!! thanks….
Hey there! I’d also like the link on the bamboo curtain. It would be perfect for my space! Is it from Inhabit?
Eep! Answered my own question. I recognized the bamboo pattern from some pillows I just ordered. It is indeed from Inhabit: http://www.inhabitliving.com/detail.aspx?ID=1154
The Lily Young panels are to die for.
Hi, Who made the circle screen on top of the page Dec 12th 2007? it is a copy of what i did in my store in Delhi in Nov 2006? would like to know??
thanks
over a year after your post and I am just now finding it perfectly suitable to my life today :) My fiance and I have a tiny apartment and are inheriting one big bed and he wants to put it into the living room… I told him maybe, and only if we can find modern chic affordable room dividers :) So glad you popped up in my google search, in between lots and lots of cheesy asian inspired room dividers :)
It’s the excellent collection of room divider. rondo hanging screen is good one.
What a great collection! As an artist, I’ve always thought room dividers would be a fun medium in which to work. I just wish I had a place to put one!
I have found a great range of room dividers at Natural Living UK
