Open-plan living, working and cooking spaces might be the order of the day in interior design, but we all still need a separate place to retreat to – especially now that more of us are working from home. Room dividers are the solution, and they’ve never looked better.

Retreats can sometimes be hard to find if your home has an open floor plan. And in a time when many people are stuck at home, room dividers and screens are more essential – and more flexible – than ever.
