Room dividers go by many names, including “partitions,” “screen dividers,” or simply “dividers.” They are used to carve a larger room into smaller sections or to achieve privacy in a shared space. Room dividers can be made from a wide array of materials, including wood, fabric, and metal.
Dividers can be freestanding or mounted to a wall — a common treatment when fashioning a room divider as a headboard or piece of wall art. They come in a wide range of styles and sizes to accommodate an variety of different tastes and needs. Some room dividers are composed of solid panels, while others are fabricated of panels with fretwork or slats that allow light to pass through. Room dividers can be used just about anywhere, including homes, offices, studios, and lofts.
