For a speedy way to overhaul your space, you can’t beat a room divider. 


With hybrid working on the rise for many of us, our homes are now the places we work, eat, relax, have fun and sleep.

If you’re short on square footage it can mean spending a lot of time in one room. Enter the room divider: a simple, stylish and versatile way of breaking up your space.

Fancy creating a relaxing sanctuary around your bed or dreaming up your own dressing area (because we can’t all have a walk-in wardrobe à la Carrie Bradshaw)? Perhaps you want to create a WFH corner in your kitchen, where you won’t get distracted when you’re on important calls. There’s a divider for that.

From vintage-inspired finds and bohemian rattan designs to more minimalistic, modern styles, there are plenty of options to suit your taste and your space. Here are some of our current favourites…
