Room dividers instantly make something out of nothing, turning a room into multi-use spaces with separation and privacy. They can even create the illusion that a room has more square footage. Some room divider ideas have such substance and sturdiness that they serve nearly the same function as interior partition walls. Others use simpler materials and offer a bit of separation without adding bulk to a space.
For the easiest DIY room divider ideas, put your carpentry and drywall skills on the back burner. Instead, think along the lines of simple tools and easy-to-handle materials. For tools, staple guns, hot glue, hammers, and finish nails tend to be the norm. For materials, almost anything is fair game to create a divider: rope, license plates, plastic pipes, chicken wire, repurposed doors, pallet wood, vinyl records, metal, and more.
