Magical Screens

September 03, 2013


I hope you are rested rennovated from the long weekend.  So, today I want to talk about screens- magical, elegant, luxurious, and oh so chic.  They can serve as headboards, hide problem areas, add layers of luxury, divide spaces, create dramatic entrances.....Old school?  I think they are making a comeback.  I grew up with one in our living room, an Asian one, so you can say that I have a special place in my heart for them. Here are some in action-


Here are some dreamworthy and decadent screen jewels- a bit on the expensive side ( as in contact us on for pricing) but they can spark some inspiration for sure.  Wouldn't your living rooms die of happiness with one of these?


and here are some more accessible screen options.  These could be interesting as well.

 What do you think? Are you a fan? Can you see your living room benefiting from one?

  9. Yeah I think they are a great option. It wouldn't work in my house but if you are trying to hide a room/ wall or divide a room this totally makes sense for your space.

  11. There was a screen at my favorite antique shop that I would pet every time I went in. It finally sold a few months back and I still miss it.

  13. My parents used to have the most beautiful screen in our living room that I'm now wondering where it is. I love the idea of a screen to break up a larger room!
