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.

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…
