This perforated room divider works to split up spaces while making them look brighter and more modern.

Created by the Madrid-based designer Ana Arana the quirky home furniture item is titled 'Tromploeil' -- a play on the word that is normally used to describe an art technique that creates optical illusions out of normal images. The divider is large and has [asymmetrical designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) at its top, while its perforated screen and [multi-colored geometric details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co) add a more playful spin. An unusual addition on the perforated room divider is a small cubic accent at its base on what is normally a 2D furniture item.

This playful furniture item puts a playful spin on what is normally an understated design piece.
