Folding Screens to Cover the Fire Place and Radiator

Room dividers with art print in front of fire place

Sometimes looking at at an empty fire place can create quite an eye soar for the living room.  Also there may be some areas in your home or business that can look quite ugly and totally spoil the decor in the room.  Ugly pipes and radiators and wiring from the media centers.

Also if you happen to have pets that you need to confine to a certain area of the home, you don't need a "room divider", rather you need a short folding screen no taller than 4ft.

Urban Accents offers a few folding screens in 3ft and 4ft.  The 4ft tall venetian style shutter screen comes in six panels and heavy and sturdy made from all wood.  Available in black, honey, rosewood and white. Also available in 4 panels

Next, there are the 3ft and 4ft shoji screens available in 4 and 6 panels.  Six panels is recommended if you are really trying to conceal all corners and sides of something.

These screens are not meant to be used while fire is actually burning.

How to use a Room Divider as a Head board for your bed

Most people that buy a simple bed frame usually do not get a headboard. This is especially true for those that move to a new place every few years.  A headboard is like the picture frame for your bed.  Instead of buying an expensive heavy wood headboard, a great alternative is to use a room divider folding screen.  Most of you are old enough now and probably don't sleep in a twin size bed.  If you will be using a folding screen as a decorative headboard, you should go with a 4,5, or 6 panel to cover the entire width.

There is no exact decorating rule to this.  A 3 panel divider can also work depending on how well centered the screen is and the dimensions of the bedroom.

Room Dividers with Art and Photos

Room divider folding screens come in all sizes and styles. The shoji screen made with a wood frame and usually rice paper is the most common room divider on the market. The design is simple squared window pane pattern. I'm sure you have all seen posters with stock photos and famous world paintings and photography. Now there is a room divider that actually has the enlarged printed image on 3,4 and even 6 panels! These "art print room dividers" are basically a functional poster but much more sophisticated and bold. So the question is, what is the quality like of these screens? These unique folding screens are constructed with a very light weight spruce wood frame. The image is printed on stretched canvas also called a poly-canvas. The ink used is high saturated so the pixels are closer together producing a clear image. So what exactly is "stretched canvas"? Without getting too technical, it is more advantageous to understand what I can compare it to.

First of all, these art print room dividers are very light weight. A 3 panel screen weighs about 12 pounds. The material used to print the image on is wrapped around the wood skeleton frame of the panels. The material feels similar to wall paper or smooth vinyl texture. There is a different image on each side which makes sense if you get bored of one image, just flip it around.

Let's say for instance you go to a printing shop and you ask them to enlarge a custom photo of yours to the same size of a three panel room divider. The average cost of a custom image blown up to 6ft high by 45" wide ( same dimensions as a 3 panel screen) would cost you between $150-$180, and that's just to print in on an adhesive stick on paper, not a folding screen. Also keep in mind that the price to print something that large will only be one side, not double sided, like the "art print" divider you find online.

A three panel double sided room divider in art print sells between $123-$159 including shipping. You will not find a printed image to that large of scale at a price like that. The reason why these room dividers are so affordable is because they are mass produced by the thousands in the Far East. Special discount on website: http://UrbanAccentsNY.com

A Guide for Using Room Dividers for your Business and home

One thing I find very useful for these art print room dividers is that they are not only used to divide a section of a room, but also can be used in various ways.  Retail stores can use them as a back drop for the window display merchandising.  Lets say you have a clothing boutique.  There are many different screens you could use.  The Mannequin screen is one of the most popular designs.  This screen comes in 3 or 4 panels.  The vintage theme screens are also quite useful for retail stores.  Another way you could use it is at a trade show, or flea market.  From all the different screens available. There should be one that fits your theme of what you are promoting or selling.  Lastly for those people that produce their own video blogs for youtube or other video sharing websites.  These different themed screens make a nice backdrop for when you are talking in front of the camera.  This helps hide any clutter, or personal items that should be concealed.

How to Use a Room Divider in Small Spaces

If you currently live, or are about to move to a studio or efficiency apartment, there are a few things you should take into consideration. First, you realize that since there is only one room, you need to create a way of defining your function of living.  Since your living space and sleeping space are in the same room, it becomes an aesthetic and psychological necessity to conceal your bed from the rest of your space.

(studio floor plan square shape)

There's nothing more "college dorm like" than to walk into your own apartment and see a bed in your living room next to a chair or sofa.  So what is the most inexpensive solution?

An inexpensive solution is a simple folding screen room divider.  There is always an option to put up a temporary high pressurized wall, however this can get quite costly and it will also make the room feel even smaller than it already is.  There are a number of ways you can section off your bed from the rest of the room.

(this appears to be a king size bed..again with a bed in the living area with no separation)

Depending on the shape of your room, you can either use a 3 or 4 panel room divider.  A 3 panel room divider will full extend to under 50" wide.  A full size bed is 54" wide and a queen size is 60" wide.  Keep in mind that the bed doesn't have to be completely hidden, it just has to be separated.  If you purchase a three panel room divider to section off the bed, it is recommended to get the floor stand.  The floor stand will hold the screen in place so it fully extends to its maximum length, as well as preventing it from getting knocked over.  A 4 panel room divider should stand up well on its own and it should be long enough to cover the width of a queen size bed.

(this is a decorating no-no..fully exposed bed)

Let's say your room is more square rather than rectangular shape.  This means that you really can only conceal either the front or side of the bed.  The easy solution to this problem is getting a 6 panel screen which can wrap around the front and part of the side of the bed.  Remember that your bed doesn't have to be completely hidden, and it is not an aesthetic faux pas to have a little of it exposed.  The room divider folding screen is perfect and inexpensive for defining your space in a studio apartment.
