Four Great Ways to Use Decorative Screens

Transform your space with the simple use of a decorative screen.

If you have an unattractive item that you need to hide or add an element of privacy to a space, a decorative screen can do the trick with a flash of style.

There are several different types of decorative screens that can be used for all of these ideas:

• Free-standing screens – Include shoji, gathered fabric, photo display, canvas, painted, and silk screens.
• Installed screens – Folding glass, panel, and louvered doors are typically permanently installed in the home. Also includes sliding doors as well.

Create a reading nook

Try arranging your multi-panel decorative screen near a loveseat or rocking chair, a small side table with a lamp, and maybe an ottoman.

You could also place your reading nook near your household’s bookshelf as well. The addition of a decorative screen can add some much-appreciated privacy and coziness.

Create a simple division

Do you have a rather large master bedroom and wish you could convert part of it into a home office or art room?

The use of a simple decorative screen can divide your space in an instant. This is why decorative screens are so great– you can easily choose the aesthetic, shape, and length of the screens to divide your room and place them however you’d like.

If you feel a bit too cooped up in your makeshift office, decorative screens are easy to move and most of them fold up for easy opening and closing.

Hide electronic equipment

Everybody loves the look of a big screen TV. But what doesn’t look so nice is the mess of cords, bulky consoles, DVD players, and other unattractive electronic components and appliances.

A decorative screen can help with that. When not in use, putting up a few decorative screen to cover them will make your living room look much more organized and visually appealing.

Use up lights

Do you like utilizing light in your space?

You could finally be able to make some sense of a weird or empty corner in a room with the use of a decorative screen and a light.
