Buying Guide

With micro apartments becoming the norm these days, hanging room dividers have gone from a rarely used décor piece to a functional and practical addition that can serve many purposes. It demarcates the living space in an open floor plan, adds aesthetic value and brings privacy to a designated area, be it an apartment, a dorm or a commercial establishment. However, selecting one is far from a cakewalk.

Hanging panel room dividers are available in a mind-boggling number of styles, materials, sizes and price points. If this is the first time you are shopping for one, you have your task cut out for sure.

That’s where we step in.

We will help you with the selection process by comparing some of the variables that you should consider before swiping that card. We will show you what matters and what doesn’t. By the end of this guide, you will be armed with enough information to pick the right hanging panel divider.

Hanging panel dividers can be made of paper, fabric, faux leather, lacquer, wood, canvas or woven fiber. Your choice depends on the money that you are willing to spend and also taking into consideration the décor of the room. Materials like rice paper and fabric blend in with almost any décor theme, whereas the solid ones like wood and leather are more design specific. You should also consider the purpose of the partition before selecting the material. If you seek privacy, pick an opaque material, whereas if you want to diffuse the light that flows into the room, pick a sheer material instead.

There have been some excellent space-saving additions to the vast world of hanging divider panels in recent times. The mobile partition, for example, is an excellent choice for smaller spaces that need a dividing panel temporarily. It expands or rolls out to create a partition when needed. When not in use, it can be folded or rolled up and tucks neatly into a corner. An acoustic panel cuts out ambient noise creating a sound-proof chamber in the room.

The length of the hanging panel room divider depends on the height of the ceiling, whereas the ideal width depends on multiple factors. You might want to delineate a small section of your study. In this case, a divider that’s two or three panels wide should suffice. Whereas if you want a divider to create a separate partition in the room, it needs to be as wide as the space itself. The bigger the panel, the more expensive it gets mind you.

Hanging panel dividers can be installed using a high-tension wire, a ceiling mount rod or track systems. The wire works best for a temporary set up, like a rented apartment where the cost and effort needed for more elaborate installations wouldn’t be justified. Also, it works only for lightweight materials like plant fiber, canvas, and lightweight curtains. For the rest, you need to install a rod or a track system. There’s no way around it.

Maintaining the divider panel is an often overlooked aspect of the selection process. If you choose a curtain, fabric or blinds, it will involve some amount of periodic upkeep. Solid panels are easier to maintain. The caveat is that they are more expensive than the others.
