WEEKEND UPDATE

The rooms in our homes have become increasingly multifunctional, so it can make sense to zone them into separate areas. The Alara room divider range, just launched at B&Q, is a clever way to split a space without the expense or effort of installing permanent walls. The modular dividers can be painted and customised with windows and shelving depending on their use. They come flat-packed and are remarkably easy to install, with push-fit connections and online how-to videos that explain every step.

From £37.50 for one divider panel
