In an open interior – also referred to by interior designers as open plan living – it can be a challenge to create zones without losing that sense of space. A wooden room divider offers an elegant solution: functional, aesthetic and flexible. It is no coincidence that more and more architects are integrating our wooden shutters made to measure into their designs. Made from high-quality wood varieties such as oak and thermo ash, they are much more than a partition: a versatile design object that strikes the perfect balance between acoustics, light and privacy.

Why choose wooden shutters as a room divider?

A wooden room divider with slats lets you separate spaces without losing that sense of openness.

Thanks to the adjustable wooden slats, you can precisely fine-tune the amount of light and privacy to suit the situation. This way, a room divider in the living room can subtly separate the seating area from the dining room, or a room divider up to the ceiling can give a loft-style space structure.

Our wooden shutters also contribute to better acoustics: the slats break up sound waves and reduce echo, creating a pleasant living and working environment.

This makes our wooden room divider a well-considered solution when fitting out an open-plan office, for example. An open kitchen can also be temporarily screened off, allowing you to cook in peace while retaining the light, open character of the space.

Bespoke wooden room divider: more than just practical

A room divider with wooden slats is not only functional, but also an atmospheric feature and eye-catcher in your interior.

At Carpentier, we produce the shutters made to measure, so the room divider blends seamlessly with your interior concept, whether it is modern, rural or industrial. Our room dividers in oak or thermo ash can also be finished in a matching colour, so the wooden slats harmonise perfectly with the interior.
