The 16 Best Room Dividers of 2024

Mistana Room Divider

$155 at Wayfair

Inspired by traditional Japanese shojis, this room divider is a great way to create privacy without blocking ambient light. It’s available in eight neutral colors and five different sizes, so you're guaranteed to find one that fits your space perfectly. The double-hinged panels further enhance its versatility, allowing you to arrange them in both directions. 

For added convenience, this partition comes pre-assembled, and its foldable design allows for easy storage. It’s worth noting that the shoji lattice design is only featured on the front, while the back is simply unadorned rice paper.

RANTILA Room Divider

$66 $57 at Amazon

While it’s not the most stylish option on this list, this simple privacy screen gets the job at a fraction of the cost. You can choose between beige, black, gray, and three or four panels. The screen is made of waterproof polyester fabric that’s easy to clean, while the metal frame keeps it nice and sturdy. 

The double-hinged design allows you to turn the divider in any direction, and the panels fold flat for compact storage. Since it has an industrial feel, we think it’s well-suited for sectioning off a home office or media room.

COTTON CRAFT Room Divider

$196 at Amazon

Featuring elegant carvings inspired by the lotus flower, this room provides a captivating focal point. It's handcrafted from high-quality wood, adding a touch of sophistication to any room while boasting impressive sturdiness. This piece comes in various colors and patterns to complement your existing decor. 

It can extend up to 80 inches in width, and the 12 folding hinges allow for flexible positioning in both smaller and larger spaces. Weighing just over 48 pounds, it's bulkier than similar options on this list, which attests to its sturdiness but might make it harder to move.

Bay Isle Home Lapierre Room Divider

$147 at Wayfair

This single panel is ideal for separating a small space without overpowering it. The screen is made of bamboo with cotton trim, which gives it an airy feel, while a dark frame provides an eye-catching contrast. You can choose from two colors, both of which are neutral enough to blend in with modern or classic decor. 

It’s good to note that this divider requires assembly and attaches to the ceiling via a tension rod, which you can adjust to suit your space. This piece is a more permanent solution unlike many of our freestanding options.  

_{Dimensions: 38 x 68 inches | Screen Material: Bamboo/rattan | Frame Material: Metal}

Sorbus Room Divider

$170 at Amazon

Equipped with eight 6-foot-tall panels, this room divider is a great way to break up a large space. It features a mesh, handwoven design and comes in six neutral colors, adding style without overpowering a room. 

Despite its generous size, this piece is surprisingly lightweight at 23 pounds, making it easy to move. Double hinges let you position it in either direction, and the panels fold up for convenient storage. This partition comes in two smaller sizes— four and six panels—to suit various needs. 

_{Dimensions: 130 x 69 inches | Screen Material: Polypropylene | Frame Material: Wood}

These panels are designed for DIY installation and are easy to attach with hook-and-loop fasteners. The cordless four-rail track can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, and the width is adjustable from 45.8 to 86 inches. Plus, the panels are trimmable for a custom fit.

This piece is over six feet tall and seven feet wide, giving you plenty of privacy while maintaining a bright and airy atmosphere.

Thanks to folding panels, this piece is easy to store when not in use. However, it’s worth noting that the screen only hinges in one direction, making it less versatile to position. This unit requires assembly, but the process is simple and straightforward. 

_{Dimensions: 72.8 x 85 inches | Screen Material: Polystyrene | Frame Material: Wood}

Highland Dunes Suniga Folding Room Divider

$119 at Wayfair

Made from high-quality fir wood, this rustic room divider can break up a large space or add some much-needed privacy. We like that the shutters can be angled to adjust airflow and light filtration. Two-way double hinges allow for versatile positioning and easy storage, plus it arrives fully assembled for quick setup. 

The only caveat is there’s a slight gap in the center of the divider that allows light to come through. This unit is available in four finishes (white, brown, black, and natural) and you choose from four, six, or eight panels.

_{Dimensions: 67 x 63 inches, 67 x 94.5 inches, 67 x 126 inches (3 sizes available) | Screen Material: Solid fir wood | Frame Material: Solid fir wood}

RYB Home Wall Divider Privacy Curtain

$24 $20 at Amazon

A curtain is a simple yet elegant way to divide a room, allowing you to open and close your space as needed. This attractive panel is made of soft triple-woven polyester, and it’s available in 15 colors to match virtually any decor. It also comes in a staggering 27 sizes to ensure a proper fit. 

Since this curtain is designed to darken a room and block out sunlight, it’s ideal for bedrooms and other sleeping areas. The grommet top is designed to attach to a tension rod, which is sold separately. You can also opt for a permanent curtain rod that will provide more stability. 

_{Dimensions: Multiple sizes available | Screen Material: Polyester | Frame Material: Polyester}

IKEA KALLAX Shelf Unit

$140 at Ikea

This shelving unit makes an excellent room divider/ bookshelf hybrid while amplifying storage space. It features 16 open cubby holes, which you can personalize with inserts and boxes if you prefer to keep your items concealed. 

Available in four colors, this divider features a clean design that will add contemporary flair to your space. Since this piece is about 10 inches shorter than most partitions, it offers less privacy than other options on this list. Please note that the shelving unit arrives in multiple pieces and requires assembly. 

_{Dimensions: 57.6 x 57.9 x 15.4 inches | Screen Material: Not listed | Frame Materials: Particleboard, fiberboard, acrylic paint, honeycomb structure paper filling (100% recycled), plastic edging}

Red Barrel Studio Room Divider

$130 at Wayfair

This room divider has two unique features that set it apart from the competition: a mirror and individual frames to display your favorite photos. This screen consists of three panels with a dark wood frame. 

Please note that it is not opaque, so it won’t completely block out sunlight or provide total privacy. However, it can hold two 4 x 4-inch and forty-two 4 x 6-inch photos, which are protected by plexiglass. This freestanding unit folds up easily for compact storage when not in use. 

_{Dimensions: 65 x 42.125 x 0.625 inches | Screen Material: Plexiglass, mirror and paper mat | Frame Material: Wood}

Giantex Room Dividers

$100 $90 at Amazon

If you want a room divider that allows you to jot down important notes and household reminders, consider this one with four chalkboards. It’s also an ideal surface for displaying artwork, and the chalk can be easily wiped away with a clean, wet cloth. This durable partition is made of solid wood and has shutters along the bottom that allow air and light to pass through. 

The flexible hinged panels allow for versatile placement, and they fold up compactly when not in use. Though the natural wood should blend in nicely with most decor schemes, we would have appreciated a few more color choices.
