Simple solutions to difficult problems are sometimes so obvious we overlook them. \u00a0Folding screens are one of the best ways to simply conceal problem areas in your home. Unattractive corners, flawed fireplaces, or missing elements are suddenly no longer an issue with the creative use of a screen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decorative folding screens have been used for many years as a design solution. \u00a0In ancient China, these elaborate pieces of art were painted in Tole or Gesso over wood. \u00a0Used as wall hangings to define a large area, this became an early form of decorative art.<\/p>\n

The Japanese used paper \u201cwindows\u201d on wooden frames to allow light to come through, using them as a wall partition. \u00a0Later on, traders brought these screens to Europe, where they quickly became a popular trend.<\/p>\n

Imagine wanting a headboard that has a more unusual flair \u2013 a decorative screen can be the perfect solution mounted on the wall behind the mattress. \u00a0Mirrored screens add light and depth to a small dark room. \u00a0The mirror adds sparkle and brightness to an uninspired space by adding an unexpected touch. \u00a0Inset mirrors surrounded by painted wood are used in circular or rectangular shapes, or even as beveled panels on their own.<\/p>\n

European influences are found on many decorative folding screens using architectural details surrounding flowers or other realistic motifs. \u00a0Some screen panels feature actual paintings that detail a story from beginning to end. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Scenes featuring historic people or places add an element of fantasy to any piece.<\/p>\n

For a more custom approach, cover a screen in fabric to make a richly personal statement. \u00a0Interesting prints or textures add an extra design element to any room and take the attention away from the problem area. \u00a0A fabric screen is easy to change often, especially if you purchase one with removable panels. \u00a0They can be easily recovered with a new look each changing season.<\/p>\n

Consider a screen the next time you are struggling to conceal a problem area. \u00a0This elegant design element is a very affordable option in any setting and gives your room a more decadent appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
