Every day can feel like you're at a resort thanks to Anthropologie's Scarlett Rattan Room Divider Screen. The 3-panel screen offers a modern charm that's reminiscent of warmer climates and relaxed summer days.

The design features a neutral color palette that'll complement spaces with more of a Bohemian or Mid-Century Modern feel. Though it's sealed with a clear lacquer for protection, the screen is only meant for indoor use—and it has either a bedroom or office's name written all over it.

Best Traditional

Wooju Traditional Korean Folding Screen

View On Etsy

Folding screens were first used in China and have been popular throughout East Asian countries like Japan and Korea for centuries. South Korea-based Etsy seller Wooju sells traditional folding screens like this one, which is made of wood and has two panels to easily separate a small space.

The panels contain several narrow wood strips, creating privacy without completely closing off whatever's on the other side. You can play around with wall hangings, fabric coverings, and even throw blankets depending on the level of privacy you want, making this not only a well-made choice, but a versatile one too.

For a shabby-chic look, you can’t go wrong with this intricately carved and slightly weathered wooden screen from Urban Outfitters. This leafy silhouette relief creates a soft, rustic aesthetic, but this mango wood tri-fold is both heavy and sturdy.

Room dividers are offered in a bunch of shapes, sizes, and colors but Red Barrel Studio®'s Wellsburg design keeps it simple with a traditional shape and color palette. The 6-panel divider is made of woven palm and features a modern design that'll pair well with other design styles.

IKEA KALLAX Shelf Unit

Sure, your bookshelf can go against the wall, but can it also pull double-duty as a wall? In the case of IKEA's KALLAX Shelf Unit, it can. This unit features tons of storage and is ideal for anyone trying to make the most of a small space.

The KALLAX, a classic IKEA design, is offered in four neutral finishes, each of which can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you want to add drawers, keep it open concept, or lay it on its side, it's a highly versatile piece for your home. It's worth noting, however, that it needs to be secured to a wall at least on one side of the unit.
