With an open-plan layout – which interior designers also like to call open plan living – it can be tricky to define specific areas without losing that feeling of space the whole design is supposed to create. Wooden room dividers offer an elegant solution: not only are they functional, they are also flexible and stylish. More and more architects are incorporating our indoor plantation shutters in their projects. Made from noble woods, such as thermo ash and oak, they are much more than a mere room divider: they are design features in their own right, harmonising sound, light and privacy perfectly.
Why choose a plantation shutter as a room divider?
A wood plantation shutter is ideal for structuring spaces without compromising on the open feel of a room.
The adjustable louvers means the level of light and privacy can be adapted to suit a variety of situations. For example, a wooden room divider can create a subtle partition between a lounge and a dining room, while a full height divider can add rhythm to a loft.
Our plantation shutters also improve acoustics; the louvers break up sound waves and reduce reverberation, creating a calmer and pleasanter atmosphere.
This makes our wooden partitions suitable solutions for including an open-plan office, for example. You can also close off an open-plan kitchen from time to time to cook in peace while maintaining the brightness and open style of the room.
Inspiration and experience
In this demonstration video, you can see just how easily the louvers can be adjusted and the effect they have on the light, shade and atmosphere of a room. This is really a big plus for any interior design.
Take a look at the video and you will find plenty of inspiration in the warm feel and refined finish of our bespoke shutters.
Bespoke wooden room dividers: much more than a practical solution
An adjustable louver room divider is both use and ornament! It makes for an eye-catching feature anywhere. If you are looking for indoor plantation shutters, you can choose between rectangular or elliptical louvers, depending on what kind of a style you are aiming for. At Carpentier, we make every room divider to measure so that it will blend harmoniously with the interior design – whether modern, rustic or industrial. In addition, our thermo ash or oak room dividers can be finished in just the right shades so that the louvers match the rest of the room perfectly.

The advantages of using plantation shutters as room dividers

- Softer acoustics – The solid wood absorbs sounds and reduces reverberation for a more soothing environment.
- Sustainable material – Our room dividers are made from noble woods such as thermo ash and oak, so you can trust them to last a long time and never look dated.
- Timeless design – Naturally warm, wooden indoor plantation shutters suit all styles.
Design possibilities at Carpentier
We make bespoke room dividers in various shapes and sizes in our workshop:
- Rectangular louvers: simply modern, available in thermo ash and oak. Perfect for a minimalist or industrial interior.
- Elliptical louvers: soft and elegant, available in thermo ash only. Perfect for a warmer and more natural look.
For a really luxurious, architectural impact, room dividers can also reach all the way to the ceiling. If that’s more than 3 metres high, we only use 40×140 mm rectangular louvers in HOTwood ash as these ensure style and stability.
That’s not all…
Our wooden plantation shutters are versatile: they can be used as a room divider or sun shades, indoors and out. Find out more in our blog on an architectural solution against sun and heat.
