Decorating With Room Dividers

A room divider can create interest in an otherwise dull area. A room divider need not be used as a divider but as part of your room decor. Of course, if you have a large space and want to give the illusion of two cozier areas, a room divider is perfect for the purpose.

There are plenty of styles, materials and designs to choose from. For a contemporary or retro style, you can try a one panel standalone divider with acrylic panels. They come in bright modern colors with geometric designs and are just perfect for a divider between living room and dining room in your contemporary home.

For Asian style décor, folding screens are a perfect compliment. For visual appeal, screens with Japanese style scenes painted on them or the standard black lacquer with mother of pearl Asian women, trees and birds will do the trick. A bright red lacquer room divider is plain but has a punch. Bamboo or rattan style dividers can also add an Asian feeling.

Even the feminine shabby chic styles can benefit from a room divider. Dividers with floral designs or beautiful scenes or a fabric- covered divider can enhance the softness of the style. If you prefer more of a French style, there are many folding panel screens that have an openwork metal design perfect for the French look.
