DIY Room Divider Including Bookshelf – Stylishly Smart Space-saving

This DIY work will definitely safely wrap up the magic of open-space into your home. Be it a studio apartment-the space-y divisor, separate types for a home office, or if you simply want to rearrange some furniture-this divided space doubles as a book-shelf and takes the cake with all kind of combinations.

A statement piece, a storage solution, a discreetly defined space; clearly all that fits into one weekend’s project.

🧰 What You Will Need:

Materials:

3–5 planks/boards of wood (length depends on height you want)

Several horizontal shelves (cut to your chosen width)

Wood screws or cam lock connectors (if going modular)

Wood glue

Sand paper

Paint, stain, or clear finish (optional)

Tools:

Drill + screwdriver

Measuring tape

Pencil + level

Clamps (optional, for wood glue drying)

Saw (circular or hand saw if cutting shelves yourself).

🪚 Step-by-step Instructions:

  1. Choose Your Design

You can either opt for a:

Grid-style: Like a cube organizer (symmetrical clean lines)

Open staggered: Shelves at spots varying at heights giving a modern look.

Asymmetrical vertical slats: Perfect for airy vibes without too much visual weight.

Sketch a layout or use masking tape on the floor to visualize.

  1. Cut Your Lumber and Prepare It

Sanding all edges smooth, painting, and staining beforehand (before assembly, if you can close off every edge neatly).

  1. Build Frame First

Fix the vertical cleats at both the bottom and top of the horizontal wood boards to create the basic structure-and apply a level to squaring.

Tip: Either use corner clamps or find a partner to hold everything in place as you’re screwing it together.

  1. Install Shelves

Evenly space those shelves apart or load them based on your preference, and for max stability, secure every one with screws and wood glue.

  1. Finishing

Paint or stain the entire unit, giving it a uniform polished look, and allow it to dry well before standing it up.

  1. Position and Style It

Place it perpendicular to a wall to divide a space – between bed and lounge area, or desk and dining nook, for example – and fill it with books, baskets, decor, plants, or even LED lights for a little vibe.

🧡 This is how it is: No more drywall or curtains splitting a room
