Love dreaming up new and exciting designs for your home but always find yourself stuck with the same old floor plan? For many renters and homeowners, a full-scale remodel isn’t in the cards right now (or ever). But that doesn’t mean you have zero control over your home’s layout.

Temporary walls and room dividers can work wonders by splitting up a space for functionality, privacy, or sheer aesthetics. Almost anything a permanent wall can accomplish, a temporary wall can do equally or better.

There are countless great temporary wall ideas out there, ranging from quick and easy DIY projects to full-on construction. Whatever you’re looking to accomplish in your space, you’ll find the exact inspiration you need below.

1. Apartment

Many renters can make do with a fabric curtain instead of a full temporary wall. But adding a partition is a great option for those living in rent-dominated markets or looking to upgrade their small apartment without permanently altering the original floor plan.

Temporary walls come in all styles. You can find plenty of DIY solutions that are easy to install and take down as needed. Or hire a contractor to build a temporary wall that looks like the real deal.

Seamless walls look like permanent fixtures but have no impact on the room’s base construction. You can even paint them or install a sliding door and plexiglass transom windows. Panels are a nice alternative if you don’t need to create an entire room.

2. Bedroom

The star of every bedroom layout is, without a doubt, the bed. So it makes sense that most room divider ideas for the bedroom would focus on this piece of furniture.
