A partition with storage spaces will benefit some spaces, such as a shared children's bedroom or a makeshift home office. These suggestions fit the bill:
Room Divider Ideas:
Bookcase
When a bookcase is placed perpendicular to a wall rather than flush against it, it instantly creates a room divider. Just make sure it's safe by securing it: Connect the top of the bookcase to a wall stud with metal L brackets, then drive a few screws through the side of the unit into the same stud. Anchor the bottom to prevent it from tipping over.
Bookcase with Locking Wheels
In larger spaces, such as a loft or basement, a bookcase with locking wheels provides the most flexibility. Simply roll and lock the space where you want to divide it today, then move it to a new location tomorrow.
Tall & Wide Bookcases
The greater the privacy, the larger the bookcase. Set up a tall, wide pair back to back to create storage for books, toys, knickknacks, and other items on both sides of the divided space.
Cubbies
To demarcate a border on the floor while maintaining open space above, go low with cubbies (a.k.a. cube storage). A reviewer who bought two of these eight-cube organisers raved about them,
placing one horizontally for toys and the other vertically for display items.
Do you prefer to make your own cubbies? Kevin O'Connor of This Old House demonstrates how in an easy family project tutorial that uses simple square cuts, basic assembly, and finishing.
Headboard
A high-profile headboard with shelving on both sides can help to define a sleeping area while also providing storage.
Open Shelves
Open shelving physically divides a room while allowing light in and providing a lot of flexibility. You might even be able to fit a flat screen TV on a swivelling base, depending on shelf size.
Columned Divider
To direct incoming traffic to a specific area, make a columned room divider for your home's entranceway. While solid mitering skills are required to construct this attractive piece, our tutorial walks you through the process step by step.
