Are you working from home without an office to call your own? Folding room dividers are a great way to create a separate work zone.
Having a clear boundary between your home and work space is extremely important if you’re going to make remote working work for you.
By minimising distractions and deterring unwanted visitors and attention, you’ll be more able to stay focused and on task.
Plus, the right divider can make a stylish statement to any space – big or small.
We’ve recommended our Top 5 below in different styles and materials, along with some design tips for ideas and inspiration. Be bold, be unique and make something beautiful!

Solid Weave Wicker From Hartleys
These gorgeous wicker dividers from Hartleys are really popular right now. They come either 3 or 6 panels wide, in a choice of 3 colours.
They’re lightweight but sturdy and would look the part in any surroundings.
Choose cream to complement pastels and muted tones. Or go natural to pair perfectly with a whole range of oranges for a warmer feel. For a rustic flavour choose the dark wood option.
We can’t think of any home space colours or styles which wouldn’t look good with one of these dividers…think Zen, think New York Loft, think Minimalist, think Country Style. They’re totally versatile plus they’re great on budget.
Design Tip…
Pair up the dark brown option with a dark wood standing desk and a deep blue wall. Brighten up with some clever spotlighting. Go for a brass desk lamp and accessories.

Hand Carved Wood From VidaXL
This charming divider from vidaXL is available as either a 3- or 5-panel piece. Hand carved from mango wood, it’s super-sturdy and really well-made.
We’re loving the dark brown (pictured) but you can also choose a grey or white wash finish.
When we see this divider, we immediately think of rich yellow or orange walls, mandala prints and the most beautiful ethnic accessories. Be bold and make it amazing!
Design Tip…
OR…use it to add a touch of elegance to a very simple and understated work space. Bring in some gorgeous green houseplants for a splash of colour and extra depth.

The Canvas Range From Murando
This is one of the seemingly endless choices of dividers from Murando.
There’s a wide range of prints to suit every taste and home office setting…from blocks of colour to florals to landscapes, seascapes and plenty more.
You can choose between a 3- or 5-panel piece and a single- or double-sided print.
Pictured here is one of the Spa Zen prints…it just whispers calm, balance and tranquility.
We’re visualising a bamboo-topped standing desk with black frame. Add a bamboo ladder shelf, housing green plants with splashes of orange and yellow. Plus a medium size 3-tier indoor fountain. What do you see?
Design Tip…
Here’s another favourite of ours from Murando. (See the Abstract 3D range.) Pair up this mainly monochrome divider with a white standing desk. Lift with a little colour on the walls…be as bold or as subtle as you wish.

Polyester Panels From Costway
You might have guessed that we love a bit of colour and visual excitement. So you may wonder what this very plain divider by Costway is doing here.
Put simply, this is a no thrills, no spills divider which lends a more professional visual to its surroundings.
It speaks “office” more than “home space” and this look can work perfectly well as is, or with a little customisation.
Keep it simple with monochrome decor and muted tones. Black is beautiful so embrace it…along with greys and whites.
Design Tip…
OR…get super-glam by contrasting black with rich golds. We’re thinking prints, photo frames, wall colour. Add a gold and black chess set to the mix. Bling up even further with a crystal desk lamp and accessories. What’s your flavour?

Paper Panels From Hartleys
Hartleys have done it again with this Japanese-style divider. (Choose 3 or 5 panels, black or natural.)
Another great choice for a subtle yet stylish look to separate your home and office life.
This natural finish would look great with a bamboo-topped desk and stone blue walls.
Use minimal furniture and keep your workspace clear – a tidy desk is a tidy mind!
We think this would be the perfect choice for a therapy room. Maintain the calm ambience with an aromatherapy diffuser and some gentle sound healing music in the background….and relaaaax!
Design Tip…
Or you could totally embrace the Japanese element with the black option. Choose a luxurious themed wallpaper or some traditional prints or hanging tapestries.
