Sometimes we just need to separate. Our spaces, that is. Houses and rooms are just growing in size and defining space is becoming a problem. If you live in a loft, you know this problem all too well. Room dividers have come a long way: the options range far beyond a simple shoji screen. I thought it would be fun to take a look a variety of screens, one of which might just define your personal style.

Modern
If you've got some cash to burn, check out the Petal Screen (left), $7,970 to $11,955 at Bobby Berk Home. If not, grab an IKEA EXPEDIT for $199 (right) -- It makes a great room divider while still functioning as a bookcase.

Simple, modern dividers don't have to be boring.

Dual Function
The scrolled Amber Leaf Floor Screen (left) is adorned with tealights, perfect for setting the right mood, $179 at ZGallerie. Pocketz Folding Screen (right) for $150 at InMod has pockets built in for storing anything from office supplies to mail to spare shoes.

Room dividers can be functional, too!

Traditional
This Stacked Crate Room Divider (left) $445 at CSN Stores is a lovely screen that uses color to divide your space. On the left, the upholstered Rilato Screen (right) has a heftier price tag at $1,495, Jayson Home and Garden. This one feels more like a piece of furniture.

Traditional screens with detail or color feel more updated.


Wood
The eco-friendly bamboo Takesu divider (left) from All Things Green will run you about $444, but doubles as a sculpture. Chiasso's sculptural Coil room divider (right) is about the same price at $398 but is simpler but offers more privacy.

Eco-friendly or rustic earthy dividers bring the outdoors in!

Let it all hang out
Hanging dividers are a fun modern way to separate space. There are so many styles to choose from. I love the Parametre by 3form (left) $250 to $690, 2modern. The timeless Capiz Shell Curtain (middle) doesn't offer much privacy but for $69, it's enough to feel separated, Ballard Designs.The very cool algae-like Algue (right) is $35 for a pack of 6, AllModern Furniture. Order a few extras and you can use them to make some creative wall art.

Room dividers can be hung from the ceiling for a curtain-like feel.



Budget tip: If you're budget is less than $50, try hanging some fabric from the ceiling on a wire. This way you can easily push the curtain aside to once again create one large space. Your need for privacy will determine the weight of the fabric. Use a heavy-weight fabric for increased privacy or a sheer for a simple division.
