If you prefer something more permanent than a folding screen, we recommend theEtsy Rattan Panel.
A basic shelving unit like theIKEA Kallax Shelfoffers endless styling opportunities and comes in four neutral colors.
It features four wooden panels in five natural hues.
Customization is key with a curtain divider.
As with all blackout curtains, we recommend choosing a dark color for the most effective light blocking.
Some panels allow natural light to filter through, while others block out light to varying degrees.
Start by measuring both the height and width of the space you want to separate.
Its also crucial to check the ceiling height, especially if youre considering a taller divider.
Most screen options on our list are between 67 and 72 inches tall.
In terms of length, theEtsy Rattan Panelis a compact option that is ideal for areas with limited space.
When choosing a curtain divider, the length and width of your curtains are also super important.
What is Your Divider’s Main Purpose?
Some dividers are designed to let light filter through, while others block it out.
Some room dividers have built-in shelving or cubbies to provide extra storage space.
West Elm
Wood is popular because it is sturdy and long-lasting, making it well-suited for high-traffic areas.
These often feature wood, rattan, or bamboo as the divider’s structure.
For curtains, all of the options we recommend are polyester or fabric.
For easy care, look for machine-washable curtains like theLushvida Room Divider Curtains.
Shelving units and bookshelves serve as practical dividers and provide additional storage space.
They are also ideal for displaying artwork, photographs, and other personal items.
Curtains can create a softer ambiance and add a flowing element to your space.
