Designs such as the couple’s leather lounge chair and matching ottoman became instant classics; others, including the 1946 molded plywood folding screen, didn’t receive nearly as much attention.The room divider, crafted of curved plywood panels and inner walnut plies, may be simply designed, but it masterfully defines a living space—whether there’s an open floor plan or not.Best for a Home Office2/10West Elm Zeze Room DividerThis cane room divider is a great option for rooms that skew neutral in color palette. The woven design of this divider also allows for some sunlight to pass through—a big perk for those looking to create a separate work-from-home space without missing out on natural light.Most Unique3/10Red Barrel Studio FalkmarSomewhere between folk art and statement home decor, this four-panel imitation of an impressionist oil painting says a thing or two about your knack for putting a room together. We love to imagine this behind a blush velvet couch, or as a room separation tactic in a more minimalist white-couch sort of living room space. Maybe even as a headboard? Or a dining room backdrop? The possibilities are endless.Budget Pick4/10Furnnylane Bamboo Folding Room DividerWith up to eight panels, this bamboo room divider can cover up whatever it is that needs hiding—or it can create ample private space in any living area environment.

This blends seamlessly into the surrounding decor while offering a worldly and sophisticated element.Best Vintage Room Divider6/10Vintage Floral Room Divider (Set of 2)It couldn’t get more classic than this dual pair of vintage Italian room dividers. In our dream world, these find their place on terracotta tiles in an Italian kitchen (or a California one doing the same bit), clusters of dried herbs hanging overhead. Or, a pre-war yellow-tiled bathroom in need of a little decor moment to hide the troves of toilet paper.Best Single Panel Room Divider7/10Bayou Breeze DaejonSingle panel room dividers can be a challenge—these often look a bit more industrial, and end up a little too modular for proper home decor. We love this single panel partition for its elegance—it’s easy to picture in a bedroom or a dressing room behind which you can try on all things elegant.Best Minimalist Pick8/10windowARTcurtains Voile Cafe CurtainsOne hack for a small space in need of division is the Japanese noren—a room divider made from cloth that redirects the flow of a space by creating, in effect, a partition wall. We love this as a flowy, more bohemian and minimalist take on partitions.Best Bohemian Pick9/10World Menagerie Doty Folding Room DividerThis bohemian folding screen room divider has us rethinking the potential of our living areas. Made from high-quality solid wood, sunshine peeks through the ornate design of this piece so it doesn’t affect the flow of an open space, but instead creates a unique, grounding decor element.Splurge Pick10/10Vintage Triptych Panel "Ballet Russe"Okay, yeah, it’s a splurge, but we want you to see it because it’s art. In the style of French artist Christian Bérard, this 1930s three-panel room divider, depicting “Ballet Russes” dancers, elegantly commands attention. Undeniably glamorous, this 8-foot-long folding room divider is one-of-a-kind. In fact, it was originally purchased in Paris in the 1950s and sent to an estate in Palm Beach before making its way to 1stDibs. You don't need to use this freestanding room divider in a living room or home office with sweeping views or sprawling ceilings for it to shine.
