Folding room dividers are an innovative means to beautify your home. You can use these wonderful furnishing in any area of your home where you wish to create some interest. Other than its traditional use, folding room divider can provide you with multiple functions. It can do much more for you besides dividing a space. You can place it in your living room where it can serve as a backdrop and perk up your entire interior. You can also place it in the corner of any room and it will function as an embellishment.

If you have the money you can buy some antiques or pseudo antique screens made of wood to add a touch of history and age to your rooms. Using embroidered fabrics mounted on screens is another good idea. The design of the embroidery can be made to match the design of the rest of the room’s wall hangings and upholstery. Since they can be taken down and replaced with other designs, available variety in decoration is endless. Screens and panels also allow you to control the amount of light that filters to each side of the partition.

Another way to make a folding screen work in both rooms is to opt for a room divider with picture slots on each side. This is sort of like a blank canvas. In fact, you don’t even need to use photos on both sides. For example, if you are using a screen divider with picture slots in between a family room and a living room, you could put family photos on the family room side and insert sheets of paper with colors or designs that match the living room on the other side. This is a great way to add interest to two rooms with only one purchase!

Remember that your roommate will benefit from using portable room dividers just as much as you will, so perhaps you can convince him to split the cost with you. After all, you will both end up with a private space and an extra “wall” to decorate. Point out the advantages and it should really be a no-brainer.

One of the ideas are taller partitions. Taller partitions are useful when you want to create a defining line between two spaces and provide some privacy. If you are trying to split up a smaller space, shorter ones can help maintain an open and more spacious feel while still setting the space apart. Scalloped edges and other decorative touches can give a touch of personality to rooms with modern decor.

Shelves, cupboards, and other furniture can be used as improvised room dividers. They can be used in a similar way to a low wall to divide a bedroom or any other room. Large book shelves are commercially available for this very purpose.You can also use large plants as improvised room dividers. Plants that can be used include palm trees, bamboos, and various crotons, among others. Using exotic, rare and expensive plants can make this kind of division extremely attractive as a decorative method. Wooden frames containing potted plants are commercially available for this purpose. You too can create similar framed pots. Wooden or metal trellis with plants and vines on them can also be used. Some of the plant pots can be hung from the roof. They will create an impression of division when correctly placed even if you can easily communicate between the two sides.

Free standing screens are another great room divider idea that is relatively inexpensive when compared to other dividers. They can be shoji screens that allow diffused light to filter through rice paper and gently illuminate your space or they can be picture frame screens that let you display your favorite photos from both sides. You can use screens to cover up a laundry area, enclose a sleeping area or simply show two separate living areas. You can find this type of room divider that is made from bamboo with a design painted on the bamboo reeds or solid wood panels.

Curtains are another great flexible room divider. They are easy to install. You have to install the hanging rods on the ceiling. Once installed you just have open or close the curtain to separate or unite the room. The large curtain will then become one of the main decorative items in the both parts of the room. It could set the tone for the whole room. You can vary the curtain’s material, design, and color, to create that tone.
