Japanese Screens in Interiors: A Touch of Functionality

Amidst the continued popularity of open-plan living, it's still important to be mindful of both its advantages and drawbacks. One significant drawback is

effectively separating the various activities you engage in throughout the day from one another.

While a bypass pocket door system could be a viable option depending on the overall plan, Japanese screens, now commonly known as room dividers, might offer a more pragmatic, versatile, and budget-friendly answer to your design problem.

Room dividers are an excellent way to create private spaces. Creating that cosy corner, whilst you enjoy your cuppa and have a bit of me time reading some pages from your treasured book can be realised by simply dragging your screen to the place you want to install yourself in.

Busy kitchen atmosphere during the day, a relaxing lounge area at night! Room dividers will enable you to set the mood in the space and are perfect for switching from one ambiance to another, especially when you want to put a hectic day in the kitchen behind and all you want to do is enjoy an episode of your favorite TV Series in the evening without being distracted by the presence of the arm's reach kitchen.

If you are renting or cannot be committed to a house renovation for various reasons, these dividers will come in handy to create a home office area or a playroom for your kids with the flexibility of folding them up and storing them when not needed anymore.

Another good news is that they will enhance the overall aesthetics of your living space if you choose a piece with eloquent design features. So, instead of storing them in the garage with the rest of other unwanted items, you can embrace them once again to create a focal point in your room. Just try rearranging your existing interior design so that all items will complement each other and be in harmony with your new focal point of interest.

Folding screens come in a diverse array of styles and materials, catering to various preferences and requirements. Bamboo dividers introduce a natural and organic look, adding texture to your space whereas printed wood panels, like the one I found on Wayfair, will impart an air of sophistication and glamour in the atmosphere.

For those with a more substantial budget, be sure to be on the lookout for authentic Japanese screens adorned with one-of-a-kind artwork, as they effortlessly add a touch of grandeur to your space.
