Instead of building three separate kids rooms for my sisters and I, they went with an open concept second story which we all shared. As us girls older, we wanted rooms of our own. That&#8217;s when I learned about the magic of room dividers!<\/p>\n<p>Fabric, wood, bamboo, or glass can all be used to section off portions of wide open room. A divider will completely change the feel of your space &#8212; from the flow of traffic, to the way heat, light, and sound move through the room.
