Hello everyone, I’m currently considering how to cleverly divide my living room into two zones without completely losing the open feel of the space. I’m particularly interested in how IKEA Besta systems can be used as room dividers. The furniture should not only serve as a partition but also create a cozy and stylish atmosphere. My specific question: How can I design IKEA Besta as a room divider so that it provides practical storage while also looking attractive and homely in the room? Do you have any tips on layout, color choices, and decoration, or any warnings about potential issues when using it as a room divider? Thanks in advance!
So, I’ve spruced up my Besta room divider with some plants and colorful boxes. It instantly creates a better atmosphere, and this mix of open and closed sections feels very comfortable. And when the LED strip lights up in the evening, it gets really cozy. Oh, and sometimes just changing the decoration keeps everything fresh and lively.

For me, it helped to avoid arranging the individual Besta units too rigidly and instead to see them as part of an overall composition. This included books, small artworks, and some personal items that you love. At first, I was hesitant about whether it would make a good room layout, but now I feel very comfortable with it.
Additional note: For a more inviting Besta room divider, the back panels of the modules can be finished in a contrasting color. It is also helpful to keep the height moderate to allow light and air to flow through the space. If possible, using shelves as seating surfaces adds flexibility.

I do wonder, though, how many users actually do this. An apartment with frequent use really needs secure fixing, otherwise there is a risk of tipping over.The risk should not be underestimated. In my experience, securing only the back panels is not enough. Especially with freestanding modules, it is recommended to anchor them to the ceiling or connect several modules together to ensure stability against tipping. Additionally, the contents affect the weight and thus the overall stability. Heavier items should generally be placed lower down. Safety is paramount, especially in households with children or pets.
