Japanese room dividers – Shoji style decorating

by ericl on October 4, 2007

Japanese room dividers are synonymous with the Shoji style doors you can find in Japan and Japanese homes. They are the sliding doors you find when people enter rooms by sliding the door in traditional style Japanese homes. They are very useful in homes because they are made of the “washi” type paper that is translucent, thus allowing light to pass through in a divided room without completely making any divided area dark when lighting is on the other side of the Japanese room divider.

Now manufacturers are making room dividers with the shoji touch so you can bring the feel right into your own home. They are very useful as a room divider itself to provide for basic functions, yet also very stylish in bringing a traditional Japanese style piece to your home decor.

Here are some beautiful examples, ranging from simple to a little more elegant versions of the Japanese shoji style room screens:


A balance between functionality and style, Japanese room dividers provide a great way to control the space of your room and also allow light to be translucent and spread out.
