For a simple and affordable room divider, try a DIY rope wall divider. These homemade room dividers are set up with wooden shoe plates mounted to the ceiling and the floor. The rope is then connected from the top to the bottom.

While the divider won’t block the space you’re separating, it does an impressive job at keeping the space separate.
