Room dividers and screens help separate a large space into smaller ones and allow for dual room functionality in the same floor area. In a small space, room dividers add privacy without taking up much square footage. Turn a huge living room into both a living room and dining room with a simple yet decorative partition. Room dividers make the perfect accent furniture, too. We can choose a more ornate room divider for a pop of interesting home decor or a solid privacy screen to section off your bed from a shared living space.
A folding screen is a traditional answer to separating or hiding areas and preventing drafts. It is easy to fold up and put away when guests come over for a party to make room for dancing and socializing and just as easy to put back up when you’re ready to have your multifunctional room again. Put a decorative screen up behind the sofa for a beautiful seating backdrop, or make your own little home office anywhere you have an extra nook. A room divider or screen with shelving to store your other favorite decorations, books, or magazines can be of great utility. We can even place a small desk behind your room divider and use the shelves for your office space.
