Tired of living in the same old atmosphere day in and day out? Be it living big or small, adding some change into your living space can be quite the challenge when coordinating décor and organisation.
If you live in a studio apartment or a small house, where the case is having your bedroom, dining room and your kitchen in one place, you may want to separate them and still keep the decorative touch. The same can be applied to homes that aren’t necessarily small. You look for ideas to add some alteration in your rooms but don’t know where to start. This is where room screens and dividers come to the rescue. They are the quickest way of modifying your living nest; a quick fix to turn your space from cramped to fab.
Originating in ancient Asia, screens and dividers made their way into modern homes thanks to their practicality. Depending on the purpose, there is a wide range of room screens and dividers to choose from. When you look for the perfect screen or divider for your home, you have to know the proportions of the space you want to change because they come in all sizes. Small ones (with one to three panels) are perfect for creating visual division. In case you need a bigger space covered, for instance, to separate your bed from your dining table, you can look for bigger screens or dividers with more panels that could also reach your ceiling and be attached to it.
The asset of screens and dividers that works greatly in their favour is that they are inexpensive and easier to install than other options, such as curtains or walls. Along with keeping sizes in mind, you should also pay attention to the styles so as not to create an imbalance in your home décor as a whole. If your main purpose is using them instead of walls, then plain patterns would be the best fit. These are suitable for further decorating, because you can use them as boards for hanging your favourite pictures. If however, you want to add more privacy, you should look for dividers that can also be used as window blinds. Room screens and dividers also differ in materials, from all kinds of wood and fabric to glass.
The convenient thing about screens and dividers is that they are moveable and foldable. Once you decide it’s time for spicing up your décor again, you can simply remove or replace them.
