What's your take on folding screens?
As of late, they keep popping up in various spaces that catch my eye.
Folding screens, also known as room dividers, add height to any space and function both as furniture and as artwork.
When mirrored, folding screens can buoy the brightness in any room.

When painted, folding screens can double as large-scale abstract artwork.

When caned, folding screens can recall the best of exotic vacations.
When paneled, folding screens can strike the ideal balance between Hollywood Regency and traditional styles.
When stenciled, folding screens can introduce a handmade element to a space.
When patterned, folding screens can negate the need for wallpaper.
When decopauged, folding screens can fake an extensive book collection.
And, when DIY'd, folding screens can be whatever you want them to be.
Folding screens can be a great many things; what function would you like one to serve in your home?
This is something I'd never think to add to a room on my own, but a lot of these look like lovely additions. The hot pink ikat is so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love them! I've wanted to use them more often in projects but they often take up so much room. I did have a client who had a beautiful screen and we put it behind her sofa - here's a sneak peak (http://kcinteriors.wordpress.com/2011/06/16/an-even-better-delivery/)
