Top 6 Eco-Friendly Room Dividers For Organization

If you feel like you are living in constant chaos and feel stressed all the time it is very important to give yourself the time, space, organization, and room dividers to heal and rejuvenate. The mind is influenced strongly by its surroundings. If your house is messy, it can seep through your thought process on a subconscious level. If you are trying to improve yourself mentally or just want to feel a little better every day it is a good idea to organize your living area.

We have looked at home organization in the past. From storage options to laundry hampers to garment racks to closet items. Let us look at another favorite organization tool of ours. It is sure to help you out. This is especially true if you are chronically disorganized. Dividers will help you to create some order in your room. They can be used to block out areas in the living room in case you want a physical and symbolic barrier to separate work areas from leisure. If you are in a studio apartment then something like this is a lifesaver. It helps you get into the zone depending on where you are.

Things to look for in dividers:

  1. Ease of use and assembly is very important. You should look for reviews that mention how easy it is to put together the divider for the first time out of the box. 
  2. Understand that you are going to move dividers around a lot during its lifetime. You may move it in and out of storage or just around the room. The materials should be light enough so that this isn’t a big hassle. If the room dividers have wheels, that is perfect.
  3. The materials are going to affect how your special carved out nook looks and feels. Select the proper material based on the color of the walls, placement near any windows, weather (especially humidity) in your part of the world and general aesthetic preferences.

We found eco-friendly options for this useful utility. They are not only environmentally conscious but also have unique eye-catching designs that you will appreciate. They are much better than getting a plastic or fiber divider. From our experience and user reviews, they are just as functional as the synthetic ones.

BIRDROCK HOME 3 Panel Seagrass Room Divider: This divider is made from Abaca fiber which is renewable and biodegradable. The fiber is known for being naturally strong and durable, much stronger than even some synthetic ones. One thing we really appreciate is that the divider is cool to the touch – a welcome quality in the warm Tampa weather. The colors of the woven fibers create a naturally random and unique design. These dividers are assembled and ready to use out of the box. Though a little on the expensive side for these dimensions, we highly recommend it for its unique material choice and handwoven craftsmanship.

Oriental Furniture 4 ft. Tall Fiber Weave Room Divider: This one is an excellent value in a hard to find form factor, These dimensions are great for a changing area. The material chosen here is airy and lets some light pass through due to the rattan style weave. It is made of natural plant fiber instead of the usual resin wicker which is used in products that fake the all natural look. This one comes in many different colors for different price points. If you are looking for a divider in a particular color because it has to match the rest of the room, this is a great one to look at. You can even choose the count of the number of panels. We love this one for the affordability it offers without sacrificing the features it has.

Room Divider Wood Screen 4 Panel Wood Mesh Woven Design Room Screen Divider: This one has a subdued minimal look. If you want something natural and eco friendly but want it to blend it with the rest of your contemporary and modern styled room then this is a great selection. It has a simple design but a stark black color that creates a clear visual demarcation. We love how bold and unapologetic the design is. It is manufactured from environmentally friendly wood intercepted from pine and each piece is handwoven.

6-Feet Tall Recycled Newspaper Room Divider: As bloggers and writers, this one tickles our fancy to a great extent. This divider uses recycled East Asian magazines, woven into kiln-dried, mitered wood frames. We absolutely love the concept behind this one. The fact that these are magazines from halfway across the world adds to the mystery and story behind the final product. Aesthetically, it is a dash of color that will spice up any room. This one is sure to spark very interesting conversations when shown off to the guests. It comes in another version where instead of magazines, old newspapers are used. 

MyGift Decorative Woven Bamboo 6-Panel Room Divider Screen: We have covered many bamboo products on this blog and for good reason. It is just a sturdy and functional material for most cases. This divider has a simple look for those who value simplicity over flashiness. The beige color and simple woven design should blend in with most room decors. It comes in 2 colors and 2-panel count options.

Global Chic Sun, Moon, and Star 4 Panel Screen Room Divider of Hand Carved Sustainable Mango Wood: And now for something completely different! For the distinguishing home decorator with a preference towards ornamental and even antique design, this one is way up their alley. It has an astrologically inspired design with hand-carved roundels of whimsical sun and moon medallions surrounded by delicately carved stars. It is straight out of an old adventure movie set in an exotic land. If you are going for a themed room then this is highly recommended. The choice of material is also special. It is made from grained mango wood. All this luxury comes at a steep price though. Be ready to shell out a pretty penny for this one. If money is no issue though, this is hands down our favorite recommendation of the bunch.

So those were favorites for this wonderful tool that is not only functional but can also enhance the look of a space. If you experiment with any of the above suggestions, be sure to let us know in the comments.
