Walls are not only permanent, but too many of them can stifle the aura of an already small home. Plus, they are neither comfortable nor cost-efficient to install. A sliding & hanging room divider, however, is temporary, stylish, and can be installed without much hassle.
You have choices, of course.
Partial sliding hanging room dividers, a hanging rod with a muslin cotton fabric spread on it to give an idea of seclusion, for instance, can be easily put up and removed within minutes. Slightly more inclusive models, like a sliding door that spans from the floor to the ceiling, a bracket, or a flexible room separator, can help give the room more sections without turning into a cramped space.
In the latter category, your options range from a barn door, folding door, pocket doors, stacking doors, and room dividers to pivot doors and fixed panels of transparent or opaque glass.
While sheen curtains may provide an illusion of separation, sizeable sliding barn doors or foldable ones can offer an excellent sense of distinct yet connected compartments in an open-concept home. Whether you choose wood veneer, resin or acrylic insert, or laminated frames, aluminum, or frosted glass, do keep in mind that it's better if the sliding hanging room dividers are lightweight and easy to operate.
Sliding dividers are easier to install and can be folded and detached to place them elsewhere without much trouble. You have a variety of design option, including whiteboard and soundproof sliders. They are also inexpensive and can last for a good number of years.
Look for a functional construct that is also durable and fits your interior designs. Although the sliding & hanging doors are multifunctional options best suited for most modern homes which do not have a lot of space, you can also use them in big houses to create separate spaces in your bedroom, office, or kitchen area.

It really depends on the look you're going for and the practical reasons involved when choosing your materials. You can find anything from an array of fabric panels that can completely block out a space or even be semi-sheer or transparent. For a more permanent look, you might want to opt for glass room dividers. Glass dividers allow for a space to be split up, but they still give some visibility depending on the look of the glass. There are also wood options available for more privacy which usually involve hinged tracks. As Nate Berkus recommends, when you're looking to close off a space and fully create a new room, this could be the optimal choice.
Construction:
Most of the time, you don't even need to get out anything other than a drill or hammer to install sliding hanging room dividers. A lot of room dividers, especially those that consist of glass or wood panels, hook into the top and bottom tracks which allows them to slide. There are also options that include long panels of fabric that use grommets to connect to long rods. As interior designer, Jake Arnold, notes that curtain-like panels give you the option to be fully open or closed, depending on the overall vibe and flow of the space.
Additional Features:
Not only can sliding hanging room dividers completely create a new space, but fabric panels can also be noise-cancelling for those that need quiet spaces to work or sleep. There are also glass options that still allow some warmth and light into a room. Design expert, Noz Nozawa, explains that when you opt for sliding hanging room dividers as opposed to a stationary partition, you still have the option of opening the space up again. It's also an opportunity to showcase something that completely complements the room's aesthetic as sliding hanging room dividers can double as a piece of decor. And when you opt for fabric sliding hanging room dividers, you can repurpose them as curtains if you grow out of them or no longer have the need.
Let's start by dividing room dividers (excuse the repetition) into three main categories to see which one works best for you:
Folding: we bet this is the one that you picture when thinking of room dividers! Following the iconic accordion design, these traditional models allow you a higher degree of flexibility: you can make them more or less wide depending on how you fold them. Either way, they will immediately become the most noticeable accent piece in the room;
Single panel: although their dimensions vary, one-panel room dividers are best suited to accent a smaller area or hide a specific piece of furniture, such as a bed or your work desk;
Hanging: if you have unstoppable kids or pets running around, a freestanding room divider could be knocked down and damaged, which is why hanging designs are a practical alternative!
They can either hang from the ceiling in an elegant way to separate different areas (such as an open kitchen and the table) or rely on a pole that goes from wall to wall to divide it in two (e.g. if your kids share a bedroom). The latter is similar to curtains and it's a less glamorous but more versatile choice because it still allows you to open up that space whenever you wish.
Some materials will immediately fit harmoniously with the rest of the room. Still, given the practical function of room dividers, you should also consider issues such as durability and whether or not you want the light to filter through them.
If you'd like to invite an element of light behind your room divider, opt for rice paper, a delicate but elegant option that usually follows Japanese designs, versatile rattan, or sophisticated glass;
If you're after some privacy, you should look for more solid room dividers such as models made of wood, fabric, canvas or faux leather;
Sturdy materials like wood and metal are the best choice if you're after a durable room divider that you can use for many years, whereas simpler fabric or plastic models will do if you're happy with a temporary budget-friendly choice;
Glass can also help you create an illusion of space, framing an area while making it feel airier; obviously, they're not ideal for privacy, but, being moisture-resistant and easy to clean, they're a practical choice in large bathrooms;
Modern canvas and fabric models offer a large variety of colors, patterns and designs, making it a breeze to complement the style of the room;
Some rattan or wooden room dividers are also suitable for your patio and garden, but the strong and weather-resistant wrought iron might be the safest bet in windy locations;
Bamboo room dividers are a durable option that can help you bring some nature inside your home, add an exotic touch, or create a relaxing Zen atmosphere.
Unless you're planning on opting for a single panel or a curtain-style hanging design, ask yourself these questions in order to figure out how many panels you should look for:
What do you mainly need a room divider for?
If it's mostly for decorative purposes, there's no real reason to go above two; if you need to accent a small area or ensure some privacy behind it, four panels are a great starting point; however, if you'd rather close off an entire area from wall to wall, look for wider designs with six or more panels;
How big are the room and that specific area?
Unless you go for particularly wide panels, the wider the area the more you will need! Make sure you measure it to know how long your room divider needs to be, but keep in mind that, because it will be slightly folded, its maximum length will be lower than what's stated by the manufacturer; to avoid disappointment and accommodate for its accordion-style shape, calculate the actual final length by subtracting around 20%.
Because your room divider has got all the credentials to become the main accent piece in that room, you need to make sure that it does so beautifully and cohesively!
In order to choose a room divider that matches it, consider:
The room's palette: is there an existing color that you can pick and that, perhaps, would create a pleasant light and dark contrast against the wall?
Other patterns: if your room mainly includes plain furniture and features (such as your curtains), you can easily opt for the quirkiest and most noticeable designs; however, if it already has a couple of eye-catching patterns, you should stick to monochrome or simpler room dividers to avoid an unpleasant clash;
The décor style or theme that you're going for: your new room divider is a fantastic opportunity to help you define it even more clearly; you could either look for patterns that match the existing theme (for example, coastal designs in the bathroom) or a style that works well with your décor, such as traditional wooden models or more modern canvas room dividers.
Keep these tricks in mind, too:
Thinner and lightweight room dividers in lighter shades or your room's accent colors work well in modern or more casual settings; lighter wood can also make the area feel a bit bigger than it is;
Choosing a room divider that follows heavier and darker designs (especially when made of wood) can complement more traditional décors and help convey a cozier, more intimate feel.
