Room Dividers: 17 Portable and Sliding Door Room Dividers

Room dividers are a great way to visually break up interior spaces. And if your room divider has a theme that compliments your décor, it can actually add a unique look to the corner of your room while doubling as a screen to hide a messy area or provide extra storage in the back. Room dividers are functional, beautiful and lend peaceful ambiance to your home. They can be used as home decor when placed against a wall. Room dividers can be used by college students who are sharing a room with two or more people to create personal space in a dorm by using portable room dividers.

Here are 10 very functional and very creatively designed room dividers that can be used not only to divide spaces in your homes but can also function as works of art, lighting and even furniture.
