Room divider made from acrylic and wood with steel-look design
The Project
Gert-Jan has crafted a beautiful room divider to keep the cold at bay near the entrance door. He utilised acrylic and wood to create an elegant partition. By doing so, he avoided the expense of purchasing a costly glass and steel structure while achieving an equally stunning final result!
Gert-Jan explained, “I ordered bespoke acrylic and crafted a frame from pinewood. It’s all assembled with hidden screws and dowels, leaving no screws visible. The frame was primed and finished with a black paint.”

“Measure well. Assemble everything with the acrylic in place. Make sure you can't see any screws. Screw from the bottom and top. Use dowels in the middle as screws can’t be used there. If everything fits, take it apart and remove the acrylic. Start painting only then, so you don’t need to mask off the acrylic. After painting, insert the acrylic again, screw everything in place and you’re done. Enjoy your masterpiece!”
