This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Room Dividers!

You ever notice that many new construction homes feature wide open, expansive and large spaces? Like instead of an entry way, living room and dining room, you have now what's called a "great room." This has many advantages. It's wide open, so you feel the wonderful large space feel. Unfortunately, sometimes you just need a cozier space than a giant room will afford you. That's where the room divider comes in. Available in as many styles and sizes as the imagination can dream up, we were delighted to find such a large selection in the newest 1stdibs listings this week. We picked our 5 favorites:

1) Hollywood Regency Wood Room Divider
Okay so maybe this divider wouldn't exactly give you a lot of privacy, but it certainly would do the trick of visually dividing a space. And with a lot of style and personality to boot!
Price: $3900
Dealer: Visiona

2) Soli e Luni Screen by Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti
What a striking addition to a space! This screen would do a good job of visually giving a space some definition while also adding a strong punch of bold color.
Price: $18,500
Dealer: Moss

3) 18th Century English Chinese Style Painted Leather Screen
A screen divider like this just isn't used to divide a room into two spaces, it's used to elevate the level of eloquence and style in a room. Such a piece can certainly be functional, but also serves as just a wonderful piece of art.

4) Empire Style Walnut Three Panel Screen
While a bit plain, this three paneled screen would certainly get the job of dividing a big space into two spaces done, and it would so so with some traditional elegance.

5) Bavaria Screen by Studio Job
Okay we just think this piece is great. What sort of space it would go in we're not sure. But look at all those colors! And those jolly illustrations! Sure it's sort of corny but it's also sort of wonderful.
