Room dividers can be so much more decorative, diverse and fun than those chintzy paper screens you sometimes see in strip mall Chinese restaurants. Whether you live in a trendy but space-challenged 900-square foot loft (where your dining area doubles as your work space), or a rambling ranch-style home, room dividers can decoratively divide and define space. This one with a rich honey finish ($150 - $280 depending on size), would work in main living areas with a variety of furnishings, including arts and craft and contemporary. It has independently adjustable wood blinds – which can be used to creatively filter light. More upscale is a three-part screen in dark wood with painted flowers ($469) or one with scalloped edges ($865) in a coffee finish. The Etchings metal leaf screen ($69, pictured left) could hold its own, standing tall in modern interiors with a nature theme. The Mikado room divider ($300) is made from wrought iron with imaginative wire insets. If you want something more whimsical, put this three-panel Paris room divider ($68) in a breakfast nook and enjoy a view of the Eiffel Tower (or café scenes on the reverse) with your morning coffee. The Audrey screen ($75) would no doubt add a touch of class to even the laundry room. Hide that messy computer desk in a bedroom corner with what looks like a dressing screen ($68). This screen ($70 on sale,k pictured right) does double duty in the children’s room: Use it to partition off a messy toy area and to display your little Picasso’s art. The butterfly screen ($70) in white or lime is an exceptional value. This room divider also functions as a bookshelf ($300). This one is ideal for dorm rooms or a shared home office space ($99). The three panels feature spacious pockets for storing magazines, beauty supplies,and anything else you’d want to keep handy.
