Custom room divider shelves

Design your room divider bookcase with ease using our 3D configurator. To do this, simply select the "Room divider" option in the last step of the configuration. The shelving is then automatically manufactured so that it can stand open in the room and is attractive from both sides. Optional doors are mirrored so that the shelf can be accessed on either side. In the case of drawers, a solid back panel is inserted on the opposite side, visually matching the drawer front. If you have previously decided on a base plinth, this will be fitted from both sides for your furniture piece. Please feel free to contact our specialist furniture consultants for assistance with your planning.

Customised room dividers

Room divider shelves are not only practical, but also visually appealing, as they create a clear separation between two rooms without appearing cumbersome. Open compartments allow light to pass through and ensure that the room remains airy, while closed compartments or drawers provide storage space and organisation. Details such as plinths, skirting board cut-outs and back panels can also be customised according to your wishes to adapt the shelving perfectly to your room layout. Thanks to the option of using the room divider as a piece of furniture that is accessible from both sides, you can easily access items from both sides.

Stability is particularly important with free-standing room dividers. We therefore recommend fixing it to the floor or ceiling to prevent it from tipping over. If you have any special requests or requirements, our in-house carpenters are available to realise customised solutions on request.

The 4 simple steps

Choose the dimensions

Determine the exact dimensions of your room divider to integrate it perfectly into your room. You can specify the width to the centimetre between 30 cm and 600 cm, the height between 30 cm and 300 cm and the depth between 15 cm and 60 cm. This flexibility allows you to adapt the room divider perfectly to the size of your room.

Select material

Choose from various high-quality materials such as solid wood, multiplex, decors, MDF or veneer. Each material offers a unique look and feel to match your furnishing style and the functional requirements of the room divider.

Define columns and layout

Determine the number of columns and the height of the compartments to organise the layout according to your needs. This flexibility allows you to configure the room divider so that it offers both open compartments for decorative elements and closed compartments for more storage space.

Add doors and drawers

Equip your room divider with doors and drawers to maximise storage space and accessibility. Choose between glass doors, hinged doors or flap doors, depending on the desired function and aesthetics. Drawers provide additional space for smaller items and keep the room organised. All fronts are mirrored on the opposite side so that your room divider looks the same on both sides.

How does room divider shelving differ from a normal shelving unit at Pickawood UK?

With our room divider bookcases, the front and back are produced with the same edges and the same base. If doors have been planned into a room divider, then these are mirrored on both sides so that the room divider can be accessed and used from both sides. If you have any special requests regarding your furniture's compartments, please let us know.

Does a room divider bookcase have a back panel if doors or drawers have been selected?

If you add doors to your room divider in our shelving configurator, they will be mirrored on the back. If you design your room divider with drawers, these compartments will be fitted with a rear panel.

Does a room divider bookcase need to be additionally stabilised?

This all depends on the depth, height and width of your furniture piece. However, we recommend at least one additional fixing point on the wall, ceiling or floor.

Can a room divider with a rear wall be ordered from Pickawood UK?

Yes, you can order a room divider with a back panel from Pickawood UK. This can be manufactured from HDF (hardboard) or produced in the same material as the structure of your furniture piece. You can note your preference in the special requests section in the configurator or contact our specialist furniture consultants directly.

If handles are planned on a room divider bookcase, are they fitted on both sides?

Yes, all fronts are produced and mirrored on both sides, this also applies to handles.

From what height and width does a room divider have to be divided?

The top and bottom panels as well as the side-panels are divided if the dimensions exceed 272 cm for MDF, chipboard and real wood veneer, 245 cm for plywood and 300 cm for solid wood. The divisions are made on the basis of the maximum panel lengths available in the trade. The split is set automatically by our system. If you have a specific wish, please note it in the order process.

What do I have to pay attention to if the room divider bookcase is to be particularly resilient?

We recommend solid wood or plywood for shelves which will hold and store heavy weight and volumes of books. Please also note that narrow shelving is much more stable than wider options. If you still have questions and concerns regarding weight loads and storage capacities our specialist furniture consultants will be able to provide you with further relevant information.

Can a room divider be made from different materials?

You can specify different materials for the structure and for the fronts (doors & drawers) in our 3D configurator. For example, you can plan a custom-made solid wood shelf that is fitted with white doors. 

Is it possible to plan a free-standing room divider?

You can place your room divider bookcase in your room so that it is freestanding. However, you should then fix and attach it to the ceiling or floor to prevent your furniture piece from falling over.
