Excited to share this Woven DIY Room Divider! Use this hack to entertain, add some color to a room, and up your home decor game on a budget…

With the number of people we currently have roaming around the studio, it was only a matter of time before one of us very subtly suggested we create a Woven DIY Room Divider. I kid, I kid!

But really, between the amount of semi-organized chaos around here and people always coming and going, personal space is a rare commodity.

While you may not need one for drowning out coworkers (still kidding…), I figured this was the perfect DIY to tie into entertaining in small spaces!

For that matter, it’s just as nice for quickly shielding unmentionables when you need to do a little laundry but are short on time before guests arrive.

And of course, we chose to spruce up a rattan divider since we are obsessed the cane decor trend.

How to Make a Woven DIY Room Divider

It’s not exactly the quickest DIY of all time. But this room divider is VERY simple to customize.

You can create any design, shape, or color combination that you’d like.

1 – All you do is start with a single strand of yarn on one end of the rattan, and start weaving it back and forth (in front and behind) each strand of wicker.

2 – Once you get to one end, repeat the weaving until you get back to the side you started on and then make a knot.

3 – Cut the excess yarn and repeat until you have the design of your choice.

4 – I also did vertical strands woven into the horizontal strands to make it stand out a bit more. But it’s up to you!

5 – Do you all have any small space tricks for concealing the mess when you’re entertaining on the fly?

6 – Be sure to share your custom room dividers when you make one, we want to see your handy work too!

How Can I Partition A Room Cheaply?

Partitioning a room can be done cheaply and effectively with just about anything. However, make sure that you have an idea in mind before going out shopping so it doesn’t cost too much or take up more than needed headspace!

What Is A Room Separator Called?

There are many different ways to create privacy and add style within your home. One popular choice is the shoji screen, which can be used in any room as a divider or office space- separator!

These versatile pieces of artwork usually come with three panels that when unfold form an almost unseen thin but durable wall panel capable enough to block out light from neighboring rooms while still allowing visibility through actual windows behind them.
