Screens in the interior

Such a mysterious, boudoir and mysterious detail of the interior, like a screen, first appeared in China, when the art of painting and furniture production had just blossomed. This procession around the world, this peculiar object that can hardly be called furniture, but rather a portable wall, began its procession around the world in the 7th century AD and without much effort won the hearts of connoisseurs of beauty. The screen came to the Europeans around the middle of the 17th century, and allowed to delimit the space of large rooms, introducing intrigue and mystery into the interior of the room.

The design of such an interesting partition in ancient times could consist of a huge number of wings, which made it possible to divide entire halls into zones. They were made from a variety of materials, which made this interior item accessible to all segments of the population. Some of the oldest screens were made of mica and decorated with metal. The material also used leather, fabrics, mother of pearl, paper and wood. As the shutters of the screen were painted, depicting landscapes on them or recording the statement of famous sages. Some Chinese screens could consist of forty or more wings, but when neighboring Japan intercepted the idea of ​​a portable wall, the screens rarely had more than six sections. Another distinctive feature of the Japanese screen was the painting on all the leaves, while the Chinese one had a drawing on only one of the sections.

Today, screens in the interior are used quite widely, although they have somewhat changed and become more modern. And this is truly a very rational solution for small-sized city apartmentsin which it is so necessary to divide the room into zones. Such a partition has become an excellent alternative to previously built piers. The advantage of this solution is that the space of the room at any time can be expanded by assembling the partition without making a lot of effort. Nowadays, screens in the interior can be made in a variety of styles and have not only the function of delimiting space, but also be an interesting decorative element. An excellent example of this application is the openwork pattern of the screen, which is located in the corner and plays the role of only a decorative element, introducing sophistication and elegance into the interior of the room.

When creating their projects, modern designers quite often resort to using a screen in the interior. And it is worth noting that this functional element with the correct design of the room can be appropriate in almost any room of a residential apartment.

The living room is a special room in each house, as a rule, it is made the most elegant in the house and it is here that the screen can be very helpful. If the size of the apartment allows you to use the living room in full, without equipping it with an extra bed or office, as often happens in a small city apartment, then the screen can be used exclusively as a decorative element. For example, it can be placed along the wall with a sofa on it or close one of the free corners with it, making it the main decoration of the room.

However, the screen can be not only decorative, but also a functional object that would divide the living room into zones. With the help of such a division, it is easy to allocate space for a computer desk in the room and at the same time the space will not be overloaded and heavy. Or separate the kitchen or dining room, combined with the living room or simply divide the space into studio apartment.

Nowhere else would a screen be appropriate in a bedroom. After all, it is here that there should be a nook where you can hide from prying eyes and change your robe.And so that this piece of furniture fits perfectly into the overall picture, all that is needed is to choose the right style for the screen. It can be either a bright accent of the interior, or a connecting element of all the colors used in interior design. Contrast screens with unobtrusive floral patterns that combine with either the wallpaper in the bedroom or with textiles look original.

Excellent screen in the bedroom will look like a decor at the head of the bed. In order to create an original atmosphere in the room, the decoration of the screen can be done in the same motives as the bedspread on the bed.

The original idea of ​​decorating a large bathroom will be a screen that complements the color scheme of the room. For this purpose, you can use a special design with shelves or hooks. Such a screen can be made of a moisture-resistant material with a coating that imitates wood or natural stone. Such a screen can be used for its intended purpose: to close the bathroom or shower and preventing water from splashing around the room.

Today, manufacturers of screens have diversified their products so much that even the most picky consumer will be able to choose a product to his liking. It is also worth mentioning that recently the so-called flexible screens have come on sale, which can be bent not in sections, but because it is convenient for the owner, which makes using screens for zoning space even more convenient. In addition, not only the design can become an original addition to the interior, but the actual design of the screen, the choice of which is also very large.
