room divider roundup

screens_1.JPG
d*s readers jessica, caroline and stacey asked if i would build a room divider guide asap for some guests they had coming into town. room dividers run the gamut from screens and hanging panels to full on storage units. i’ve chosen my favorites above and below but i always suggest using fabric to create an inexpensive divider panel. you can pick up inexpensive fabric at repro depot, purl soho, ikea and hancock and then use wire or curtain rods to hang them between spaces. have an idea that isn’t listed here? feel free to add it in the comment section below. there are six more slides after the jump so click here for the full post or click “read more” below.

These are beautiful. I’m going to be looking for some inspiration for our DIY room dividers that I plan on making soon, so this really helps. I wish I had the money to shell out on these pretty ones, though!

I love the “algues”…algae? So cool. Wouldn’t that be fun to put in a small studio apartment…give it that “mossy” appeal. This is a great guide. Are the Lily Yung ones felt?

I love the coil room divider but I swear it was 100 bucks cheaper there a month ago….

gravy service is the design firm studio that made the shelving & counters @ the curiosity shoppe- they make an amazing room divider… http://tornadosinbrooklyn.blogspot.com/2007/10/gravy-service.html

Hey there! I’d also like the link on the bamboo curtain. It would be perfect for my space! Is it from Inhabit?

Eep! Answered my own question. I recognized the bamboo pattern from some pillows I just ordered. It is indeed from Inhabit: http://www.inhabitliving.com/detail.aspx?ID=1154
