Privacy screens are incredibly useful items in any home or apartment, and can really help you improve your functional decor. Folding screens are room dividers that help you separate your private rooms from your public spaces. The cost of such privacy in your bedroom or bathroom is a little less open space and a more “closed off” apartment, but I’m sure you’ll find that this is a small price to pay indeed.
Some apartment building are designed in such a way that there are other apartments directly across from yours. While some apartments offer curtains for your windows, as anyone who’s had blinds in New York knows, those things barely make the grade at best, and nothing’s stopping your neighbor across the way from sneaking an unwarranted peak. Putting some great Shoji screens or other room dividers in front of windows will keep your privacy safe from even the most vigilant prying eyes.
Privacy screens don’t have to be the same old drab room divider. There exists a multitude of unique and exciting folding screen styles and designs on the market today, whether you look online or in traditional stores.
A cool, rustic-looking Shoji screen
There is the Japanese screen designs, to start with. These are also called Shoji screens, and they come in many different styles, both traditional as well as contemporary. If you are looking for the most popular Japanese Shoji screen, be sure to check out the “window pane” style room dividers. The most popular of these dividers are typically about 5 or 6 feet tall, in a variety of widths and heights, and they often feature unique artistic embellishments that make them wholly unique.
Typical Shoji screens feature either Asian teak or Scandinavian spruce wood, along with classic Asian tenon joints. The shade or screen itself is made of pressed pulp rice, reinforced with natural fibers. This design allows diffused light to get through the screen, creating a stunning atmosphere indoors. No one outside can see what’s going on in your home, but you will still be enjoying the benefits of diffused ambient light indoors. Most have two way lacquered brass hinges, so you can bend the panels any way you choose. No matter how your home interior is designed, you can always find the perfect room dividers for your unique needs.
Classic Shoji screens are found in an abundant supply of cool, stylish designs that are sure to impress. There are room folding screens that resemble Venetian blinds, there are natural woven styles, as well as an abundance of similar products. Some Shoji screens even feature silhouette designs, like majestic cityscapes that look lovely from either side of the frame.
One unique offering that I have discovered, as an example, are folding screens that depict two of Paris’ world famous landmarks: the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. These screens feature elegant pictures of their respective buildings, in an enchanting winter setting, lined by withered trees at dusk. Both of these examples are constructed of kiln dried spruce frames, and completely covered with a poly cotton canvas blend. These stunning images are printed in immensely high-quality, high-saturation ink, for an artistic beauty that lasts a lifetime.
For the best selection of privacy screens anywhere, look no further than online. Shoji screens, Japanese screens, and many other room divider screens are available, some even under $100, depending on which outlet you find. So get that great privacy screen of your dreams today and make your apartment chic and secure.
