Building your own room divider sounds like a big and complicated endeavour. But it’s actually not hard at all! We've put together a step-by-step guide for you along with a detailed list of all the materials you’ll need. Then nothing can go wrong!
Check what materials and tools you still have and where supplies are needed. For example, also check the battery of the cordless screwdriver and charge it in advance. Do you have enough screws? Make sure you have everything ready and working when you want to start working - so there are no unwanted interruptions.
As in any DIY or building project, it is important not to lose sight of the details in the creative flow. The frame of the room divider is the base and guarantees stability. It would be annoying, in the anticipation of screwing and shaping, to saw the timbers incorrectly because of a careless mistake. If the screen cannot be assembled, it would be a shame to waste the time and materials! So it's better to measure twice - or have your posts cut to size at the DIY store.
Especially if you want to decorate your room divider for the home office and there is some weight hanging on one side, you might want to increase the footprint of the screen. Wider furniture feet, for example, or simply square wooden plates that you screw under the feet, can help here.
