A question about : Ideas for a room divider

Just moved into a new bungalow- livingroom,diningroom & kitchen all one large room. Most of the ones I've seen are far too expensive and quite boring :-/ :-/ :-/

Best answers:

  • cant you stick a stud wall up??
    if not
    what about one of those paneld screens like you see actors in their dressing rooms getting changed behind
    you can make one yourself out of mdf and have as many panels as you like
    then paint and decorate it
    or you could make a fake archway
    or curtain it off into sections
  • Do not be tempted by the folding wicker screens from IKEA. They fall apart as soon as you look at them, never mind move them, because they have hooks not hinges to join the bits together. Get or make one with hinges! See if you can find a local handyman / friend to do it for you and design your own. There's bound to be a web page showing you how ...

  • You might find this worth looking at.

    it's Ј20ish from Ambrose Wilson.
    But needs decorating however I have seen one done beautifully.
  • How about utilise some shelving (e.g. tall book shelf but without back panel) as room divider? You can then put some books or some pretty objects on shelves to make it nice.
    My friend uses this method to separate her lounge and dining area in her house and it works well.
  • Thanks to all for those brilliant and helpful ideas
    8) :-*
  • I had a lounge/diner, my hubby put up some french doors & it looks fab, not only that but the one room is now classed as two ! ;D ;D ;D ;D
  • what about a trendy cube, argos do a pine one that we now use as a bookcase and its sturdy too.
