In the first episode of the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" reboot season, the Mosley family of seven needed a lot of help to make their limited spaces work. One renovation feature that was a game-changer was the bedroom wall divider that turned two rooms into four. With a wall right in the middle with inbuilt shelves, the kids instantly got more personal space and more storage. Probably most importantly, they now had the freedom to design and organize their space however they wanted.
Highlighted in a Pinterest post by Apartment Therapy, wall dividers are great in situations where multiple people share a bedroom because the defined zones they create provide a sense of privacy. Outside the bedroom, they can make a world of difference in other living spaces like studios or rooms with multiple uses, like a home office in a bedroom or a workout area in a home office. While the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" designers chose to use an actual wall, there are more flexible alternatives that you can choose from based on how much privacy is wanted and aesthetic preferences.
Using dividers to break up a room
Folding screens and curtains are versatile and easy to open and close, offering a temporary solution that can be adjusted as needed. You also don't have to worry about finding designs to match your bedroom decor. This freestanding wood mesh folding screen from Amazon, which is $32.68 at the time of writing, comes in different colors and can bring about a more natural look. Amazon also sells this heavy curtain divider that comes with a curtain track and a simple guide for you to put it up yourself. It comes in 26 colors and the price ranges from $23.95 to $86.95 depending on the dimensions.
Bookshelves, ladder shelves, and other see-through shelving units are some more decorative room divider ideas to consider. They double as storage solutions, feel more covert because they still keep things open, and offer varying levels of privacy depending on how large and wide they are and how many things you decide to place on them. And if you can't find a wall divider that suits your space, you can even DIY a partition, like this cool rope wall.
