Accent Room Dividers

Accent room dividers, like folding screens and fabric room dividers, are a great way to break down large open spaces in your home or office without sacrificing comfort or your sense of style. Dividers are available in a number of materials, including cloth, wood, and metals. Choose from brands that include Hallowell, Stonegate Designs, or SEI.

Panel Dividers
Many panel dividers are made up of a minimum of three panels that fold and expand. Despite their inflexibility, panel dividers can still take up as little or as much room as you need them to. Panel dividers are also available in many styles and materials, such as carved wood, sheet metal, plastic cutouts, wire, glass, stretched cloth, or paper.

Panel Dividers With Art
Panel dividers aren't limited to more traditional styles of decor with a design aesthetic provided by the material of the panels alone. There are many options for images on these room dividers—including options with photography, paintings, or pop art—that are displayed on the panels as well. Use this kind of divider to bring a pop of color to a dark room, to stand alone as a functional accent piece, or even to bring light-hearted fun to a divided guest bedroom.

Curtain-Style Dividers
Just like the curtains you use to frame your windows, curtain cloth dividers can add a soft touch to any room and, if necessary, effectively block out light. These cloth accent room dividers can also cover more space vertically than most panel dividers. If a set of cloth dividers does not already come with a mounting method, you will need to buy a tension rod to support them.
