35 Beautiful banister ideas for your staircase

Create a functional and stylish staircase by sprucing up your banisters.

Perhaps your banister is looking a little worse for wear, or maybe you’re in the process of renovating your home and adding a staircase to your space. Either way, there are so many different ways that banisters can be brought to life in a space. Not only do banisters serve the purpose of safety and functionality, but they also give stairs a visual presence and can turn your whole area from boring to a work of art – so there’s a lot riding on the design and style of your banister. Check out these 35+ banister ideas for inspiration!

1. Festive decor

First, we have this beautiful decorative banister idea. This one is definitely worthy for Pinterest. I love the festive greenery attached to the banister which really creates such a beautiful look paired with the white and light wood banister. Plus how sweet are the little festive trees and houses on the cabinet which also add a lot of Christmas spirit?

2. White and iron

How gorgeous is this white and iron banister. I love how the design of the ironwork alternates with the detailing changing on every second pole. And the white hand railing and detailing works well to lighten up the area. And the ‘always come home’ blackboard sign on the wall would make everyone feel so welcome when walking into the space.

3. Golden wood

If you love the look of wood, but also are someone who loves a bit of glamour, then this one is for you. I love the subtle golden tones of the wood. All you would need to do is add one coat of gold paint or stain to create a golden wood look without compromising the natural textures of the wood. What a beautiful and glamorous space.

4. Black and white

If you’re ever in doubt as to what colours to go for in your home, black and white is always a good choice. It is classy and timeless and will still look good in years to come. I love the banisters on these stairs with the black hand railing and white balusters.

5. Simple black

Speaking of black, here’s another gorgeous black banister. I love how simple this is with the black vertical balusters paired with the floating timber stairs. And how stunning is the bench seat underneath the stairs with the little basket full of fresh blooms! I would love to have this simple staircase and styling in my home.

6. Matching frames

If you want to spruce up an area, adding a gallery wall is a great idea. I love the black banisters in this space which match so perfectly with the black frames around the awesome graphic prints on the wall. And I love all the amazing bright colours in the graphic prints that add so much character and colour to the space. When you have this many to put up, get some help with your picture hanging.

7. Chic white banister idea

I love being able to see the reflection of the beautiful banister in the mirror. The all-white finish is so chic. And the decor pieces chosen for this space really compliment the banister from the ceramic body and beautiful vase with pampas grass in it to the gorgeously tall white candles that emulate the shape and direction of the banister.

8. White and light wood

How gorgeous is this simple banister? If you want to create something that is seamless and will match with mostly any other style, then white and light wood is a great choice. I love the subtlety of the light wood which pairs beautifully with the white detailing and cream coloured carpet.

9. Floor to ceiling wood

Oh, I just love this floor to ceiling wood that makes up the banister for this staircase. The effect is so seamless and looks super modern and minimal. I love how there are gaps in between the wood which means that you can easily see through the banister no matter which side you are on.

10. Black and wood

This black and wood combination for a banister is oh so stylish. I love the black balusters which work well with the black painted stairs and the wooden handrails which really stand out well when paired with black. Just add a grey runner on your stairs for added comfort and softness.

11. Thin black

Similar to the last idea, here is another stunning black and wood combination. I love how thin the balusters are which makes them look a lot more unobtrusive and much more subtle. And the addition of the wooden handrail and detailing really compliments the look, bringing everything together.

12. Tempered glass

I absolutely love the look of this tempered glass banister. If you want to be able to easily see your stairs, then glass banisters are the way to go. Plus your space will be filled with so much more light rather than banisters that are closed in. What a beautiful and modern space.

13. Oak and glass

Speaking of glass, here is another gorgeous glass banister. The glass sides really create such a seamless look in the space and the wooden hand railing helps to finish everything off. This banister design would work with so many different home styles.

14. Intricate detailing

If you’re after a feature staircase, then banisters with intricate detailing is the way to go. I love the swirling pattern of the black banister complete with all the details of the leaves and little berries. I can just imagine how amazing and extravagant the rest of this home is.

15. Aluminium and brass

When adding something into your home, it is important that you choose the material that is sturdy and will last through all the years to come. Aluminium and brass is a great choice of materials that are strong and substantial. I love the design of this banister with its gold detailing and oval shapes.

16. Vertical and diagonal

How cool is this banister! If I had an ultra-modern home, I would totally go for a banister like this. I love the way the design goes vertical and diagonal. And the black looks so chic and really stands out amongst all the white. This is such a spectacular banister which I’m sure would get a lot of attention.

17. Modern entrance

Home entrances are one of the most important areas of a home. An entrance is always the first impression that people get of your home so you want it to be pretty special. I absolutely love this modern entrance with the banister. And the decor elements around the space match perfectly as they are in the same colour scheme.

18. All in the details

If you want something that looks a little vintage and want to pay homage to the old times, then a detailed banister is a great idea. I love this banister with the swirling details that delicately climb up the side of the stairs. It really is all in the details when it comes to adding charm and character to a space.

19. Wood on wood

How gorgeous is this banister and overall staircase! The wood on wood looks oh so classy, warm and welcoming. Matching your banister to your steps will create a very seamless look. And I love how the timber banister and timber steps look together. Plus how gorgeous is the green colour scheme which really helps to make the timber pop?

20. Wood grain

Speaking of wood, here’s another gorgeous wooden banister. If there’s one thing I would recommend when using wood it would be to preserve the natural wood grain, making it stand out as much as possible. I love the dark wood with all its unique textures, patterns and characters being celebrated. What a lovely banister. See how this rustic banister idea may work with these brown living room ideas.

21. Black, white and grey

You can never go wrong with black, white and grey. I love the black banister which looks sturdy and built to last, which really stands out against the white walls. And the grey carpet really helps to give a softness and level of comfort to the space.

22. Rectangle design

How lovely is this banister with its interesting mid-century modern design? The sides have two normal straight lines then a rectangular design which creates a very unique look. I love how on-trend, yet also otherworldly this design looks. The back matches well with the feature light as well as the curtain rod and detailing on the chairs. And the white handrails help to lighten and compliment the look of the black.

23. White on white

Oh, I just love a white on white home design. The banister really blends seamlessly into this space, especially with the banister being white and the rest of the room being white. I absolutely love how sleek white on white looks. And the addition of the mustard coloured couch and dining table chairs contrasts and stands out particularly well.

24. Laser etched design

If you love something a little different, then this one’s for you. This laser-etched banister really stands out and is a lovely feature of the space. I love the trees, mountains and birds which have been precisely laser-etched into the banister which creates character and adds charm.

25. Geometric wallpaper

If you have a super simple and traditional banister, then perhaps decorating the wall around the banister will work for you to add some character and personality back into your space. I love this geometric wallpaper which is made up of good, light grey, dark grey and black.

26. Driftwood railing

How cool is the banister in this space with the vertical wooden railing to the right and that awesome driftwood railing to the left? Apparently, the owners of this staircase found the gorgeous piece of driftwood on the beach. So here is your sign to go out into nature and see what gorgeous things you can pick up and use in your home.

27. Fire engine red

Add some colour to your home with a bright banister. I love how much the fire engine red hand railings really stand out amongst the neutral colour scheme of this space. The black sides are also quite eccentric with all the different shapes and patterns going through them.

28. Painted banister

Here’s another banister that’s a little quirky and out of the ordinary. I love the way the banister has been painted with a little bit of black in the top section and white down below. The black top part is thin and the white section almost looks like a farm fence. And I love the graphic prints on the wall which also help to add lots of character to this space.

29. Jail bars

Jail isn’t really the most glamorous of places, but I do absolutely love this jail bar-style banister. I love the way the bars go from the floor to the ceiling and are thin enough to look through but thick enough for added security and safety. Plus the glow of light behind the hand railing on the wall really adds to the dramatic effect of the staircase.

30. Eclectic and vibrant

This home is definitely eclectic and vibrant. What an absolutely fun home! I would love to live in a space that always looked like an abstract piece of artwork! I love the banister which zig-zags vertically. Up and down! The shape really adds to this space and I love that there is a similar ribbon look on the wall as well as another zig-zag effect which can be seen on the red table detail.

31. Stark white and the blackest black

If you really want to go to extremes in your monochrome colour palette, then why not use the brightest and most stark white you can use paired with the blackest of blacks? I love the very simple and classic banister which matches well with the framed mirror on the wall, light pendants and decor elements. And the black really stands out against the super bright white walls, ceiling and door.

32. Art deco

Oh, I just love this very mid-century modern, art deco style space. This is definitely a home that would be worthy to be pinned on Pinterest. I love the abstract shape of the banister which features straight lines on the bottom section and then the lines become diagonal as it goes up the stairs. The black really stands out paired with the white and light wood tones, and the gold gives everything that extra level of glamour.

33. Metallic gold

Speaking of gold, here’s another gorgeous banister that has really brought the glamour by adding gold. I love the muted gold tones of the banister which go so well with the white walls and light flooring. What a beautiful feature this staircase is with its spectacular banister.

34. Geometric pattern

How gorgeous is this banister with its geometric pattern? If you’d like to recreate something like this, the design is called ‘Chippendale’ which originally comes from Chinese designs. I love the way the geometric pattern really stands out in this space and is a lovely feature of the room.

35. A hint of red

And for our final bannister idea, we have another Chippendale style banister, but this time with a hint of red. If you have a completely neutral space and want to add a little bit of quirkiness and character, then adding a bright colour like red will be super unexpected but will really lift your space. I love the way the red stands out amongst the white walls, brown runner and cream coloured woven bag. What a showstopper!

And there we have 35+ banister ideas to either help you in rethinking your existing banister or making some decisions for your home renovation. I love the very neutral, simple and modern banisters. In fact, my favourite idea was probably number 5 with its very straightforward approach. What was your favourite banister idea? Share the number of your favourite ideas below!

29 Beautiful brown living room ideas that you’ll love

Rich, warm, organic and sophisticated - brown is a fab living room colour. Check out these beautiful brown living room ideas!

I’ll be honest with you. When I first heard the words brown living room I secretly thought “yuck”. But boy, was I mistaken! Brown is actually the perfect colour for a living room. Whether as a base or in your accents, the colour brown injects warmth and cosiness to your space, and an authentic sense of connection with nature. A relaxed, organic vibe is so easy to achieve too, since so many raw materials are naturally in brown tones, from timber to textiles to leather to stone. Here, I’ve gathered 29 beautiful brown living room ideas that have shown me that brown is actually a wonderfully rich colour to decorate with—and will create a timeless, sophisticated and elegant vibe for your living room.

1. The classic brown leather couch

A buttery soft tan leather sofa is the classic way to make brown the dominant colour of your living room. It will stand out against a light, coastal colour palette, such as very pale grey walls and whitewashed wooden floorboards. Again, mixing in organic materials like timber furniture and ceramic ornaments gives a very soothing effect. Modern black lighting and black-and-white artwork can add a little drama.

2. Warm timbers

The abundant use of timber creates an overall warm and cosy brown living room. Enhance the warmth with burnt orange accents over layers of brown tones such as stone flooring or a tan woven rug.

3. Rustic textures

Just like plentiful timber, natural materials like stone, brick and terracotta will infuse your living room with warm brown tones. For a Mediterranean-inspired brown living room, feature a tiled terracotta floor and load up on lovely textured decor. Adding a shimmer of metals or a pop of sunny yellow can keep all the brown from looking drab.

4. Brown velvet sofa

Dark timber floorboards combine beautifully with a chocolate brown sofa and look amazing in a white aesthetic apartment. A lovely alternative sofa material to leather is soft and snuggly velvet. To show yourself off to perfection, think about getting an expert in sofa cleaning to give it a refresh.

5. Latte colours

An easy way to create a base of brown for your living room is to line the walls with lovely pale timber custom shelving. Opt for an idiosyncratic arrangement of shelves in a latte-toned natural timber and fill it with ceramics and curios. Add a plush designer chair in the same tone to tie it all together.

6. Wooden wall panelling

Wooden wall panelling has been repopularised after a long absence from interiors. It’s a fantastic way to generate warmth and cosiness in your living room, and because brown goes with just about every other colour, it’s easy to decorate around. It’s also perfect for generating vintage vibes.

7. Mushroom tones

A brown living room doesn’t have to be saturated in classic chocolate or tan tones—consider also more unusual brown tones such as a subtle mushroom hue. And if you have a lot of expanses of pale brown tones, then contrast the flatness with lots of lovely texture, whether a parquetry floor, a stone fireplace, a velvet ottoman or vintage Kilim rug, or maybe just a delicate metallic bar cart.

8. Mid-century Modern vibes

There’s something about floor to ceiling wood panelling that screams MCM. You can enhance the flavours with a vintage sideboard, an earthy mix of textures in materials like pottery, wool and bronze, and perhaps a replica Saarinen Womb chair. Then add in some teal accents, as teal and browns go beautifully together. Will we ever tire of Mid-century Modern? I honestly don’t think so. It’s just too timeless, and always refined and elegant.

9. Brown and red living room

A red and brown living room is another option for designing a brown living room, with red tones amplifying the warmth of brown timber and a camel leather sofa. Perfect for a simple, contemporary living room. You can add impact with statement lights and a row of lush plants.

10. Brown velour sofa

Fabrics like velvet and velour bring instant Boho vibes, so they’re popular brown sofa living room ideas if you are going for a Boho look. And they’re so comfy! Add in warmth with pinkish tones such as rose gold light fittings or other decorative elements (you can find more rose gold styling ideas here.)

11. Pops of green

Interior designers often combine shades of brown and green because these colours are naturally harmonious. A green and brown living room is simple to achieve—opt for a brown sofa, brown timber furniture, warm metallics and then add in mossy greens in your soft furnishings or vases and other décor. A large statement potplant brings it all together.

12. Brown and whites

If you want the focus to fall on your gorgeous brown leather sofa, keeping the walls white is a good idea. Keep décor minimal and add warmth with tactile elements like woven stools or a shaggy rug.

Keep your sofa always looking top-notch with regular leather cleaning or if you’re needing some fixes, leather furniture repairs will give you more years out of it.

13. Brown blue and patterned

For a space with farmhouse vibes, consider pairing a tan leather sofa with a range of blue soft furnishings, and set it all against stark white shiplap walls. A gorgeous patterned blue rug can tie it all together. Go for an array of ginghams, floral and denim for that modern farmhouse look. (Why not also check out our article on farmhouse bedrooms? Or, if you love lots of white with blue accents, you might prefer a Hampton’s style bedroom.)

14. Brown and gold

If you love a living room that is infused with glam, try mixing a classic camel leather sofa with a selection of golden elements, such as an antique mirror frame and standing lamp. Add in black furniture for some contemporary moodiness and decorate with lavish bunches of flowers—et voila! A sophisticated, romantic and luxurious looking living room.

15. Brown and green

Timber and cane are a classic combo for a relaxed, organic, Boho vibe for your living room. Adding green helps reflect the natural world around us and it just always goes with brown. Choose olive green décor, Balinese cane chairs, lots of houseplants, and why not repurpose something like a carved African drum stool to act as a side table?

16. Timber beams

Another way to introduce rich brown is to have rustic wooden beams overhead. Bring the Scandi vibes by featuring lighter, golden brown tones in the furniture, combined with lovely creams, whites and greys. For more Scandi inspo, you might also like to take a look at our article on Scandinavian bedrooms.

17. Brown and blacks

For a moody and mysterious aesthetic, brown and black sepia tones make a lovely mix. For a sophisticated look, pair smoky brown paintwork with a black or dark brown sideboard, a camel leather sofa, modern artwork, glass vases and woven lampshades. Find a painter to transform your living room aesthetic!

18. Warm up with brick

Create a rugged and rustic brown living room with warm chestnut tones thanks to a brick feature wall and dramatic overhead timber beams. Having a lot of wood and brick in a space can feel heavy, so opt for sheer curtains to flood the room with light. The perfect coloured sofa for a living room with lots of warm wood and brick? Consider a bright peacock blue.

19. Brown with deep reds or purples

A classic Boho flavoured living room featuring a brown leather sofa looks amazing with décor in jewel tones like reds and purples. An intricate Persian rug is ideal to bring in these colours. Add a vintage mirror, simple monochrome cushions and some greenery for that jungalow touch. And contrast it all with a crisp white wall.

20. Soft brown cane

Have a set of vintage cane armchairs or a cane sofa? Amp up the golden brown haze with gold-toned décor or a dash of daffodil yellow in the sofa cushions. Add timber shelving and ideally, have beautiful polished wooden floors!

21. Terracotta colours

Another gorgeous option for warm brown tones is terracotta hues. A simple colour palette of soft grey, bright white and earthy browns is calming and brings Mediterranean vibes galore. Don’t want to overload your living room space with heavy, solid slabs of brown? Consider just a slimline shelving system which will add just a light touch of brown to your walls.

22. Modern greyscale

If you’re looking for brown and grey living room ideas for a contemporary living room, consider a greyscale colour scheme with a few brown accents for warmth, such as cognac-hued downlights. Dove grey and deep, dark brown tones are a match made in heaven!

Why not have an expert in downlight installation come and sort out your lighting plan for you?

23. Naturals

Go for natural tones like burnt umber, chocolate or coffee colours. You can achieve this with organic décor like rustic benches or stools and patterned sofa cushions.

24. Brown and blue

Bold cornflower blue looks gorgeous against deep brown timbers like walnut or mahogany. When going with rich, saturated colours, it’s pleasing to add some understated black and white décor elements, too. If you want to change up your wall colour, you can find someone local to handle your painting needs.

25. Tan and white

Another colour scheme that always seems to work is soft, light brown with lots of white. The soft brown provides the perfect warm backdrop for fresh whites. Want to liven up a simple living room space? Add a Moroccan rug for pattern and colour.

26. Blue and brown living room ideas

Rich chocolate brown tones mix well with deep navy, so a blue and brown living room is yet another tried and true colour combo. It can generate vintage vibes which you can enhance with vintage décor, like an unusual wine cabinet or an Art Deco side table.

27. Tonal wood panelling

A wood-panelled brown living room definitely has vintage vibes, but you can bring it firmly into the contemporary era by mixing up the timbers to create tonal variety. Adding punches of black will modernise the look as well. Another modern-day trick is to have one wall left crisp white, for contrast and to alleviate all the visual heaviness of the panelling.

28. Maximalist brown

If you love maximalism then go for floor-to-wall-to-ceiling shades of brown – more is more. Add a smattering of metallics and flashes of white and green for freshness. Don’t forget to layer in the texture – ideally a mix of antiques, curios, and artworks.

29. Range of timbers

Using lots of different timbers is a great way to create a richly textured brown living room. And mixing timbers and metals creates a wonderfully layered space with plenty of visual interest.

So have I convinced you that a brown living room is genuinely something to lust after? Let me know your thoughts on brown living rooms in the comments! For me, the hunt is now on in earnest for a vintage brown leather sofa, not only because a brand new one is a little out of my price range, but because I’m impatient to achieve the lovely worn-in look!

Now, if you’re buying a new piece of living room furniture that needs assembling, don’t forget it’s easy to find someone who can put together your sofa, sofa bed or daybed, and any new tables you have that need assembling. Absolutely no need to give yourself a headache doing it all yourself! And if you need an old sofa removed first, there’s also a Tasker for that.

35 Room divider ideas for your space

Split your large space into two with a handy room divider!

If you have a large space that you want to divide into two, a room divider is a solution you need because it zones a room without anything permanent. There are so many different room divider ideas and they come in all styles, shapes and sizes all of which I’ve gathered below. So I can guarantee you that there will be something to suit your home.

Decoration: Even if you’re not wanting to separate a room, you can still use a room divider to style and decorate a space. Think bold, bright colours or sleek black touches.
Privacy: Room dividers are a great way to add privacy to your home. The great thing about them is that they can remain a permanent fixture in your space or be set up when you need to create privacy.
Visual separation: You can also create visual separation in a room with the use of a transparent or framed screen. This can create an interesting look to complete your design style.

Check out these 35+ room divider ideas to inspire you to make the most of your space!

1. Transparent kitchen

First up we have this simple transparent kitchen divider. I love the addition of the glass divider with the white detailing which helps to divide the kitchen area and place where you sit up to the kitchen bench. This would be a great divider to keep kids out of the kitchen and only playing in the living room.

2. Seventies style screen

If your house celebrates elements of 70s style, then this room divider is for you. I love the wavy formation of the wooden divider that really adds a lot of character to the space. And the addition of the wooden chair along with the cactus for decoration work so well with the style of the home.

3. Fireplace divider

If you’re in the process of designing a home or are wanting to completely transform your space, then adding a fireplace divider is a great idea. I love this modern fireplace that comes out from the wall and helps to further refine the living room area. And I love that the fireplace is glass so that you can still see through to the other room.

4. Black framed indoor windows

How awesome are these black framed indoor windows! Similar to the last idea, using glass means that you can still easily see through the dividers, yet still have the convenience of the divider in place. I love how the style of the black frame has been carried through to the light fixture and windows on the other side of the room.

5. Steel partition

This room divider is similar to the last with the style of the black-framed into windows. If your home is quite an open plan and you’d like to make certain rooms seem more like a room, then adding a divider is a great idea. I love the way this divider helps to define the area of the living room by outlining where the couch starts and ends.

6. Clutter cover-up

Everyone has that area in their home where they throw all their clutter. Well, why not put something in place so that you can hide that clutter? I love this patterned room divider with all the different animals over it that would be perfect to cover up all your corner clutter. I’d rather look at monkeys, birds and lizards than looking at clutter.

7. Oriental screen

If your house has an oriental theme, then adding an oriental screen as a room divider will look beautiful in your home. I love the look of these oriental screens with the hand-painted imagery on them as well as the gold finish on the frames. Something as beautiful as this oriental screen works so well to divide a room or even as decoration.

8. Wall cut-outs

Here’s another great idea if you are wanting to add some building works to your home. The wall cut-outs in this homework well as a room divider between the entranceway with the staircase and the main living room. I love how you can still see the room through the holes in the wall, but still, have a visual separation between the two.

9. Plant divider

If you love having indoor plants in your home, then perhaps adding a plant divider will suit your space. I love all the tropical plants used for this plant divider that give this area a very beachy feel. This would work so well behind a lounge or in a commercial space like a cafe.

10. Custom crafted screens

This one is for you if you prefer to have things in your home that you can’t find anywhere else. These custom-crafted screens have been made especially for this area which really works so well with the furniture and other design choices. The gold rounded shape creates character whilst the frosted glass creates privacy.

11. Black details

I love the styling in this office with the black details which can be seen in the computer, light pendants, cabinet and of course, the room divider. And how great is the addition of the orange rug which really adds a pop or colour to this neutral space.

12. Level division

If you really want to take your space to the next level, then why not divide the room by adding some level division? The designers of this space have cleverly divided the areas in this room by adding another level and some stairs. I love how you can still see the second level which still makes this space seem like one large room.

13. Retro styling

Here’s another awesome room with retro styling. I love the rattan and woven room divider that matches the rattan coffee table as well as the rest of the styling of the room. Adding a throw blanket on top of your room divider will always help to soften the look as well.

14. Oak room divider idea

How gorgeous is this oak room divider? I love that the wooden floorboards go so well with the oak room divider. I love the way that the oak divider is on a slight angle so that you still get glimpses of the next room through the wooden planks.

15. Divider screen with drawers

If you have a desk or draw set in the middle of a room, then adding a divider screen to the back will help to create some separation within the space. I love the gold-framed divider screen paired with the drawers that have beautiful gold handles to match. This fixture provides some privacy to the couch area.

16. Bright and airy

How bright and airy is this beautiful space? Due to the white walls and high ceilings, the natural light has so much room to bounce off of all the surfaces. And the glass divider screen with black detailing also helps to let so much beautiful natural light into the space.

17. Bookshelf and fireplace

Similar to number 3, here’s another gorgeous fireplace used as a room divider. And I love the addition of the bookshelf which also works so well as a room divider. And I love how the wooden detailing inside the bookshelf goes perfectly with the wooden cabinetry to the right of the room. A bookshelf, fireplace and room divider all in one. What a great idea.

18. Cabinet divider

If you loved the previous idea with the bookshelf as the room divider, then you’ll love this too. This cabinet works so well as a divider for the room. Usually, you’d expect a cabinet to be placed against a wall, but I love the idea of putting the short side on the wall and having the long side out in the main area to create a division in the room.

19. Privacy screen

This one’s for you if you live in an apartment or a small place that has rooms close to each other, then adding a privacy screen is a great idea as you can separate the area where you want to entertain and hide the more private areas like your bedroom. And I love the convenience of a retracting door which means it can easily slide open and closed depending on the occasion.

20. Divider wall

How stunning is this home! I can only imagine how beautiful this space will look when it has furniture in it. I love the divider wall at the bottom of the stairs which works well to camouflage the stairs when entering through the front door. And I love that the divider wall has been finished off in white so that it blends in with the walls which gives more of a subtle look.

21. Rope screen

Oh, I absolutely love this rope screen room divider. This is the perfect room divider for a room that has multiple purposes like a study and guest room combination space. The roped divider is a lovely feature of the room. It doesn’t necessarily hide anything, but it works so well to divide the two areas in one room. This is a perfect quick handyman task that will really make an impact in your home.

22. Macrame hanger

If you love macrame as much as I do, then you’ll love this room divider idea. I’ve always thought of macrame as something you hang flush with a wall, but I love the idea of hanging a macrame piece from the ceiling and using it as a room divider. And you can never go wrong with adding some indoor plants into the mix.

23. Woven decor

How gorgeous is this quirky and creative room! I love the woven room divider which goes so well with the woven decor in the room such as the chair and light pendant. This is another room divider that adds to the decor of the room and is a beautiful feature. Plus how lovely is the half and half-painted wall which also works as a way to cleverly divide the room?

24. Pattern mixing

Mixing patterns can seem like a scary concept in a home, but it’s one of those things that if you can get it right, can look phenomenal. I absolutely love the black and white striped couch along with the patterned cushions and curtains that are a great contrast with the geometric print on the room divider.

25. Ladder style dividers

How great is this modern kids room? I love the neutral colour palette with the black, grey, white and wood. And the ladder-style dividers at the end of the bed work so well to divide the room as well as a place to hang items like shoes, hats and additional blankets.

26. Sliding doors

Here is another great sliding divider door that works well to create separation between rooms. You could slide the doors closed when you are on an all-important zoom meeting and slide the doors open when you are wanting to be available to the family.

27. Working from home

Speaking of zoom calls, here’s another gorgeous space that you could work from home in. A wall has been used as the wall divider together with an abstract wall panel which adds some character and colour to this area. What a perfect small home office space to work from.

28. Statement headboard

What a beautiful statement headboard. I love the look of the wood panelling behind the luxuriously upholstered couch. You could have one side for the parents to hang out in and the other side for the kids to go silly in. Close enough to keep your eye on them, but far enough away to relax and enjoy your evening.

29. Rattan room divider

Here is another gorgeous woven rattan room divider. Rattan is very in fashion at the moment so adding anything finished with rattan in a space will instantly lift a room. I love how perfectly this room divider works with the wooden decor and the way it perfectly divides the bed area and the vanity.

30. Feature wall divider

If you’re in the process of designing a home, then you should check out this photo for inspiration. I absolutely love the idea of putting a divider wall in the middle of a large main bedroom and making it a lovely feature wall. This means that you can have a section for the bedroom area and a section for a beautifully large walk-in wardrobe.

If you love feature walls like this, see plenty more feature wall ideas that you’ll equally (if not more) fall in love with.

31. Screen and curtain combination

Here’s another beautiful glass screen with black detailing. And the addition of the curtain also helps to divide and break up the spaces. I love the scandi, modern and minimal style of this little home with the simple furnishings and neutral colour palette.

32. Barn doors

One of my favourite home additions would definitely have to be barn doors. They are a great room divider and don’t take up any space due to the way that they slide back flush with walls. If you ever want to close off an area, but still want it to look stylish, barn doors are a great idea.

33. Giant lego

Now here’s a great idea for teenage boys, especially. What could be cooler than having a giant lego wall in your room? I love the black, blue and white colour scheme of the lego room divider which is complete with a little hole for a window. This would be the coolest space for boys to hang out.

34. Colour scheme

How lovely is this black, white and green office colour scheme? I love the way the room divider perfectly matches the colour scheme due to the white and green illustration against the black background. This divider works well as a way to block out the sun when there is too much glare on the computer screen.

35. Bed headboard

Lastly, we have this lovely bed headboard that creates a great room divider for the bedroom. I love the square shelves built into the bed headboard which help to make the two sections of the bedroom seem less isolated. What an absolutely gorgeous bedroom.

So that concludes our 35+ room divider ideas. I love the room dividers with the glass screens that allow for plenty of light to filter into the room. What room divider ideas will you be using? Let me know in the comment section below!
