I need to create some separation in a room, but I’m on a tight budget and can’t install partition walls. What are the most affordable DIY options?
For quick, no-commitment privacy, the cheapest methods use stuff you might already have:
- Hang a Curtain: A tension rod and a spare bed sheet or an affordable curtain panel are the classic, versatile solutions.
- Use Furniture: Line up a bookshelf, a tall dresser, or even a rolling clothing rack with hanging fabrics.
- Get Creative: Large cardboard screens, a row of tall plants, or a string of beads can also do the trick with minimal cash.
The goal is to create a visual barrier without construction.
