In an age where people are redecorating their homes more and more frequently, finding home furnishings that won`t go out of fashion has become something of a Holy Grail quest. The beauty of a room divider is that with its combination of affordability and portability, it can be the perfect addition to any room without demanding a permanent commitment from the home-owner. Not only can a room divider be placed anywhere in a room, it can be moved from room to room whenever fashion dictates a change in the style of your home`s interior decoration. Add to that the fact that they are readily available at most home improvement shops, often for an inexpensive price and you can see why room dividers are the perfect decorating device to breathe new life into an old room.
The functionality speaks for itself. For anyone looking to separate a large room into two more intimate spaces, buying a room divider represents a better investment than building a new wall. It`s a lot cheaper for one and undeniably less permanent: if necessary, you can have the larger room back with little time or effort. Additionally, depending upon the height of the room divider, it can also provide access for light into this second room, sparing you the potential further cost of having a window fitted into a room segregated by a newly built wall. It can be equally as useful as a concealing device, so when guests drop by for a party it`s just a matter of folding the divider around your computer or gym equipment to create a free, uncluttered space.
Room dividers come in a range of styles, with each offering a unique purpose and look. Concertina doors installed in an existing door frame are an excellent means of blocking out the noise and smells of the kitchen, or keeping the bedroom private, but with the added bonus that they do not take up any space in the room when they are open. These are particularly effective in smaller rooms and cupboards where you really cannot afford to lose that extra space taken up by an open door.
Tall dividers may be great for privacy, but shorter ones create the same division of space whilst maintaining an open feel. You will find there is no one specific type of divider and they can be custom ordered in a range of lengths and materials, such as woods and fabrics. A hand-painted divider can bring a touch of luxury to another-wise plain setting, whilst for any family orientated home-owner, a divider decorated with photographs is a novel way to bring a personal, homely touch to their designer living room.
The great thing about room dividers is that they afford style as well as purpose. Just as choosing the right door furniture handles can help accentuate an old door and bring out its better qualities, so too can a good room divider compliment the overall aesthetic of your room. Aside from any practical benefits it might offer the well-designed divider will help tie everything in the room together and also make an elegant centre-piece to a stylish room.
