How do I divide a room in half?

the divider you've picked looks really gorgeous and is probably pretty sturdy, since the frame is cherry. i doubt it'll tip over easily. however, it's pretty expensive. if you want something cheaper, hanging a curtain will do the trick. you and the person on the other side will still kind of be roommate, especially since there's probably only one door to the room and one of you will have to walk through the others' space all the time. a curtain or a divider like the one you've picked will give you each your privacy though.
