What style of screen should you adopt?
The screen made up of solid rectangular panels, often made of canvas, has the advantage of completely protecting from view. This model, generally enhanced with an XXL pattern, is also supposed to be decorative. However, it tends to be a bit outdated!
To adopt the rectangular format, we opt for a screen with panels that play with proportions. And to stick to 2024 decorating trends, we forget the printed canvas, and we prefer a screen that gives pride of place to materials. Natural materials are of course first and foremost preferred. Wood and cane therefore remain safe values!
This season, we are above all looking to integrate curves into interior decoration, and the screen is in tune with it. Arch-shaped panels are a nice choice.
From carpet to mirror, the oval shape promises to be essential this year. Unsurprisingly, we find it on the panels of the trendy screen.
Organic shapes or strict lines: this year again, we are happy to fall for the screen with an asymmetrical design.
The primary function of the screen is to partition the room and provide a certain amount of privacy. Over time, however, it has evolved to adapt to our way of life. In a small space, we always adopt the screen to structure the space, while ensuring that light passes through. We therefore adopt the openwork model.
Far from being confined to a purely practical function, the openwork screen can display architectural lines and transform into a real decorative object, capable of bringing a real note of originality to your interior.
How to optimize space using a screen?
If it can be 100% decorative, the screen is also quite clever for optimizing space. Because if we use it first to partition, it can assume many other functions! The screen is characterized by its large panels, which can be used.
The simplest option is to accessorize the screen with hanging storage.
The screen panels are also a perfect location to install a mirror: a smart option to boost the brightness and enlarge the space! It’s also a great way to have a full-length mirror in the bedroom or living room.
The openwork screen can also serve as a towel rack in the bathroom, or even as a valet.
The screen can easily be accessorized with shelves of varying sizes – to the point of becoming a real little extra bookcase.
In a minimalist version, the screen even constitutes an alternative to classic furniture in a small entrance or a very small bathroom.
Where to install the screen?
The screen is the classic solution to benefit from a certain privacy. It is therefore commonly used to separate the living room from the dining room, or to isolate the bed in a studio. But these are far from the only options!
The screen is a good way to create an office area in the living room in which it is pleasant to work.
The screen is not exclusively intended to separate two spaces: it also finds its place in a lost corner, which it allows you to exploit.
The screen acts as a privacy screen when installed in front of the window or bay window. If you are not overlooked, opt for a pretty openwork model, which will create an intimate atmosphere without depriving you of the view.
So that it is perfectly highlighted and lets the light sparkle, consider installing the screen with a mirror facing the window.
