What a fun accessory a folding screen can be! It is also one of the most useful and clever accessories in the home. Whether plain or embellished, a screen can transform an interior.
A folding screen can add drama, and can serve practical functions such as carving a space in an open plan interior. It can anchor a seating arrangement, provide privacy, divide the living and sleeping area in a small apartment, and add texture and scale to a room. It can also add architectural interest in a room where there is none. A bare corner can be softened and made interesting, and the proportions of an odd shaped room can be changed.
For centuries designers have used screen tricks such as placing a beautiful screen behind a sofa as an art piece, or placing one behind the bed as a headboard. They are the portable wall which can be rearranged on a whim, and which can move to any room in the house where allure, pizzaz, and color are needed. And you can take it with you when you move.
