Office space and a living room in one? We have the perfect solution.

The perfect way to maximise space or even create privacy (particularly if you’re a studio apartment-dweller), room dividers have become somewhat of a fashion statement when it comes to dressing your home. Adding a room divider (whether in the form of a partition, a frosted glass wall or even a bamboo screen) has the ability to totally transform open spaces.

If your room is open plan, they can give you the living room you never had, and also help you fill those empty gaps that you never could’ve anticipated when drawing inspiration from Kim and Kanye’s infamous interiors.

If a traditional divider isn’t really your bag, there are also so many DIY options that allow you to get creative. If you’re an avid reader, a large bookshelf is a good way to display all of your favourite reads, and have easy access to them. What’s not to love?

Particularly if you’re working from home right now (so, most of us), popping a room divider in can even give you access to a home office, making those 9-5s indoors a little more bearable.

Digging out your credit card already? Us too. So on that note, we’ve found the best-in-class of room dividers from the traditional and the practical, right through to the modern and insta-worthy.

This Scandi-style divider has semi-sheer panels made of woven fabric, so look great if you have light behind them and want to feel ridiculously cosy. It also makes for a great backdrop for all of those Zoom calls too. Winner, winner. 

Modern and industrial, this cut-out room divider doesn't do much by way of privacy, but is sure to turn heads as a statement feature in a living room. That corn-fibre weave is worthy of any A-list home.

A rustic, natural panel is timeless - so if you're looking for a buy-once-keep-forever solution, this is the way to go. The functionality means it can easily be stored flat, and it can be used year-round, particularly as its slatted layers makes a good sun shield in the summer months. 

If you're after something that feels authentic while maintaining its style in the long-run, this divider is inspired by Japanese Shoji doors. The white, translucent paper allows light to travel through whilst still providing privacy. Plus, if you don't want it taking up space full-time, you can even wrap it around a floor lamp for some seriously chic new lighting. 

This two-tone bookcase is a quirky storage solution that can also be used to break up a room, and wouldn't look out of place front and centre. The 70s vibe of the oak on white makes it the perfect decorative addition for your favourite books and records, as opposed to  your usual junk shelf. 

Dainty and traditional, if cottagecore is your latest obsession, this wicker divider would sit perfectly nestled between your shabby-chic bookcase and a huge comfy armchair. We're picturing it already. Did we mention it's handmade?

This shelving unit is proof that industrial storage doesn't have to be shabby. The tonal detailing of the gold metal makes it the perfect place to perch your favourite books, DVDs and photo memories, while creating more space in an open plan room.

If you're lucky enough to have a larger space to work with, this modern take on the classic room divider would be incredible for splitting things up. It hangs from the ceiling (so no stubbed toes), and can instantly transform your room into a cosy hotel suite.

Who said a room divider had to be a wooden panel? This boho curtain sheet does exactly the same job - and while it's more decorative, it still has the power to make a room look a lot bigger than it is.

If privacy is at the top of your must-have list, what's more convenient than a sliding curtain? Particularly if you live a studio, it means you get a little more space, and feels a little less like you're sleeping in your kitchen.  

We love a multi-purpose purchase, and this futuristic mirrored room divider is a) so chic b) the perfect selfie mirror. 

This multi-use woven panel isn't just great for keeping people out while you're hosting Zoom meetings, but doubles up as a permanent living room feature with shelves to pop lamps and ornaments on, making smaller spaces feel a little more homely. So chic. 

Clean and simple, this shelving unit is more-than big enough to hold all of your trinkets (think books, records, ornaments), but equally big enough to fill a gap in a room. It's the perfect break-up feature for bringing an office into a lounge area (working from home problems, right?), or just to jazz up a larger space without too much fuss.

Your home is your place to put your personal touch on everything, and you can get tell a lot about a person through their design choices. So, why not try a new take on traditionally displaying your photo memories? This photo wall-meets-divider holds up to 15 of your favourite snaps. 

While it only gives you semi-privacy, this wicker divider made to look like willow is the perfect wintery touch to help divide up your space. Having a textured divider is a great statement piece if the rest of your decor is quite minimal. 

If your mind frequently wanders to a life somewhere more picturesque, a bamboo room divider can instantly transport you there. Well, mentally at least. The earthy texture of the bamboo is sure to keep you feeling zen, and best of all? It's durable and long-lasting, so will only ever be a one-time purchase. 

Particularly if you have a plain, paired-back room with more beige colours, this gold leaf-detail room divider would make a great statement. It's got a traditional feel, but looks super upmarket.
