Control your space with room screen dividers

by ericl on October 4, 2007

Room screen dividers are great furnishing accessories to add definition to a room, draw attention to multiple decor focuses, and be flexibly functional at the same time. Room dividers can be used almost anywhere in the home, such as the living room, bedroom, lounge areas, open studies, studios, or anywhere where you are looking to guide the flow of your decor design. Here are some quick tips on using room screen dividers in your home’s main rooms.

-Key components of using your room divider in your living room:

Control flow of space to manage open areas.

Beautiful element focus to guide attention to key items in the room.

Proportioning your living room space to avoid just using the big furniture pieces as groupings.

Grouping items that are visually linked together.

Creating backdrops using the divider next to the door, entry ways, windows.

-Key components of using your room divider in your bedroom:

Privacy and intimacy can be created by placing a divider in a spot for dressing.

Backdrops can be created against the wall for some added color, or next to windows and doors for more privacy.

Window and natural light control can be made if morning sun is too glaring, and some even allow light to pass through.

-Key components of using your room divider in your studio:

Key areas to divide to create virtual rooms in your open studio area.

Simple privacy can be created if guests are over and you need separate areas for added privacy.

Guiding focus centers to specific parts, such as the living area, and away from cluttered areas.

Some authentic and popular styles of room dividers that people look for include (I’ll be writing more about these in the coming days as well):

  • Asian Room Dividers
  • Fabric Room Dividers
  • Japanese Room Dividers
  • Oriental Room Dividers

The good thing about using Room screen dividers as a key furnishing piece is that they will stay where you need it, but can also be moved anytime you want a fresh new look.
