Details: Let's talk about folding screens!

After we received some new fancy folding screens for our shop i started thinking about how they are used in usual interior design practice.
Screens are not a very popular trend though they work great in space separation. It seems not fair screens are being ignored so often“Screens are terrific for creating architecture where there isn’t any,” said Los Angeles-based interior designer Michael S. Smith. So let's have a look.  


Invented in 8th-century Japan to block drafts and carve out spaces in open-plan houses now they can be used for the same purpose but more often and more obvious is using folding screens for beautification of ugly room corners.


At the same time, folding screens offer a possibility to add architecture, history, color and pattern. They can become even a focus point as in that beautiful artsy flat of collector in Paris (above)!

Next screen i personally like a lot because it gives an extra charm and very nice delicate versatile background for the pieces in front. Frankly speaking, i love that room for all its bright and chic atmosphere.


And the option for color lovers from Redo design that can add up some fun in your interior :
