6 Creative Room Divider Ideas That Will Redefine Your Living Space

This unique nook in a circa-1930s Connecticut farmhouse includes a clever window-like display case room divider that helps separates off the hall. The open shelving provides ample shelving to hold the homeowner’s collection of ironstone and milk glass.

2 DIY a Window Nook
A seldom-used pass-through outside a bedroom in a Michigan farmhouse was transformed into this secret built-in hideaway. The reading nook is complete with fairy tale-worthy wallcovering and a queen bed with bonus storage in the cabinetry below.

3 Install Sliding Doors
Salvaged pocket doors were given a second act in a renovated 1870s barn home designed by DIY and renovation expert Jenni Yolo. The strategically placed doors were installed with sliding barn door hardware to separate the primary bed and bath areas.

4 Utilize Exisiting Doors
Reclaim an unused closet to make a tucked-away home office or creative studio, equipped with a petite desk, floating shelves, and a hanging peg board. In this cheery example, the working area is easily divided from the outside room with the already existing closet doors. When work is finished, just close the doors and all is hidden!

5 Place a Table
A strategically placed round table, grounded with a rug, helped turn this floaty open space into a casual entryway with a defined area for seating.

6 Create “Rooms” With Rugs
In a open concept living space, make the most of rugs by using them to clearly divide the large room into different zones, as seen in this Michigan lake house.
