While we love open-plan homes, having a room divider often helps to break up large areas or make spaces more usable in temporary situations. We've pulled together a list of our favorite room dividers for you to check out here.

Rose Home Fashion RHF Room Divider Curtain

Block the light

If you are looking to divide a room, the chances are that you want some privacy. These dividers from Rose Home offer superior light-blocking, as well as thermal protection. Because of this, the light, heat, and even sound from the other side of the curtain are significantly reduced.

Bright and airy

RYB HOME Wall Divider Curtain

Keep the space light, but divided

If you want to divide your living space but still keep it nice and light, then maybe this divider is right for you. The RYB divider still offers great light and thermal protection but comes in a light cream color that is far brighter than the black.

Ambesonne Woodland Curtains

See the wood for the curtains

Bring some nature into your life with this woodland scene. Despite their best attempts, curtains are super boring, but this set from Aambesonne stands out from the crowd. It isn't just woodland either. They are many different fun patterns to choose from.

RHF Diamond Weave Fiber Room Divider

A moveable feast of division

If you are looking for a less permanent solution, then this room divider may be your best bet. The separator is made of a course wooden weave and folds out to be almost 10 feet wide (depending on which size you choose), allowing you to cut off a significant portion of the room.

Why you can trust Real Homes Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

On my last vacation, we stayed in a home that had a massive open area with multiple curtains to split the room as needed for more privacy and bedrooms. The idea of using curtains to separate space is a good one as they can be drawn back when not in use, giving you your open-plan back. We like the Rose Home Fashion Room Divider for its excellent thermal properties and impressive light blocking abilities. When the curtain is pulled, there is almost no light leak, and we could feel the difference in temperature moving from one zone with a fan to the other.
