Shoji Screens Are Awesome Additions to Homes!
by: Wyatt FiskShoji screens are often made from Asian teak or Scandinavian spruce, but they can really be made in any rich and sturdy but lightweight wood. Shoji screens themselves (the actual shade portion) are made from opaque pressed rice pulp reinforced with other natural fibers. This allows for the screens to be very strong and thick while still allowing some diffused light to get through, creating a unique ambiance in a room. While this does allow light, it doesn’t allow anyone outside to see anything going on in your room. Most have two way lacquered brass hinges, so you can bend the panels any way you choose. Available in 3-8 panel options, and many different wood finishes, these room dividers will fit into just about any dcor.
For the ultimate in classic cool, you will also be pleased to find the expansive variety of Shoji screen styles available today. There are room folding screens that resemble Venetian blinds, there are natural woven styles, as well as an abundance of similar products. Some of my favorite Shoji screens depict city scenes that silhouette tall buildings visible from either side of the shade.
One great example is a set of room dividers depicting two of Paris’ most majestic monuments, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe. Imagine it: lovely reliefs of either construction, taken during a cold winter’s night, lined by lovely and enchanting winter trees. Both of these examples are constructed of kiln dried spruce frames, and completely covered with a poly cotton canvas blend. providing a long lasting beauty.
For a convenient solution, you can find these great privacy screens online from the comfort of your desk chair. You can find these room separators in any style, from Shoji and Japanese styles to plain Scandinavian folding screens, often at affordable and competitive prices online. These prices are frequently more competitive online than they are in stores. And don’t forget that most online companies offer free shipping!
