Room Divider To Match Decor
by Lee Dobbins
A room divider in a theme that compliments your decor can add a
unique look to the corner of your room while doubling as a
screen to hide a messy area or provide extra storage in the
back. A decent room divider can be quite costly, but if you
consider yourself to be handy with tools, then you might be
able to save a bundle while making a nice custom accent piece
for your room.
When deciding on making a room divider, you must first pick out
which kind you want to make. There’s 3 basic types of dividers ?
the folding screen, the flat panel and the hanging curtain.
The folding screen style of room divider typically has 3 or 4
panels, but you can build it with as many as you want. It
stands on it’s own when the panels are set at slight angles. To
build this type of room divider, you simply make panel frames
out of wood ? you can build them to any size that suits. Then
add the inside panels ? insides can be glass, fabric, stained
wood, painted wood or anything else that suits your fancy!
Finally, assemble each panel to the other with hinges so that
each piece folds against the other.
The room divider that is one panel and has feet that hold it up
is the easiest to build. Just build the panel frame from wood
and put whatever material you want in the middle. Then add some
feet on the bottom to hold it up. You may be able to get
pre-made feet for it or you can simply build them yourself.
Make sure the feet are long enough so that the divider is
sturdy when standing.
If you want to build a fabric or beaded divider, you will have
to use something to suspend it from the ceiling. A track is
nice because then you can slide the divider back if you want to
expose the sections of the room. Something like a curtain rod
could work, if you can rig something up that doesn’t look
strange. Then simply add the curtain or bead panel. You can
even use a store bought curtain or make one yourself.
