KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.
Here are seven great alternatives to the classic cube shelf – all offering flexibility, functionality, and character.
Crafted from handwoven rattan and bamboo, TOLKNING brings a warm, natural feel to any room. With three foldable panels, it creates instant separation while letting light pass through. Lightweight yet stable, it's ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or even as a Zoom background.
RISÖR has been part of IKEA's lineup for years and remains a reliable favorite. Its white panels framed in black wood offer a clean, simple look. The three-panel design folds easily, making it perfect for creating temporary zones without any tools or installation.
Technically made for outdoor spaces, NÄMMARÖ works surprisingly well indoors too. Its light brown eucalyptus wood and slatted design provide both airflow and privacy. Use it in a studio apartment, balcony area, or greenhouse-style corner for a stylish natural touch.
This pine-framed room divider features beige KÅTORP fabric for a soft, calm aesthetic. The three hinged panels make it easy to fold and reposition. GLAMBERGET feels more like a piece of furniture than a functional screen, making it great for bedrooms and reading corners.
LUNGÖN stands out for being designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its off-white polyester fabric panels and steel frame are weather-resistant but stylish enough for indoor spaces. Use it on a balcony, in a bedroom, or to hide storage in a flexible layout.
This mobile screen from IKEA's office range has a sleek metal frame, caster wheels, and a sound-absorbing fabric panel. MITTZON is perfect for home offices or open living spaces where noise and visual separation are both needed. Just roll it to wherever you need a quick reset.
GRÅFJÄLLET is a freestanding panel wrapped in anthracite-colored sound-dampening fabric. Originally designed for workspace use, it works just as well at home to divide zones, improve acoustics, or serve as a neutral visual break between functions.
Whether you want something natural like TOLKNING, classic like RISÖR, or mobile like MITTZON, IKEA offers more flexible options than you might expect. These dividers are much easier to move than a KALLAX shelf and can adapt to your life as it changes.
