What is a folding screen?

Originating in China, the folding screen is an object used to stop draughts in a room. It was also used to create more privacy in the room and to delimit different spaces. It was only a few centuries later that this object was imported into European culture. From then on, screens were used as decorative objects in European homes. To be more precise, it was from the 15th century onwards that this item began to adorn and decorate interiors.

Integrate a folding screen into your interior and/or exterior décor

Whereas in the past, the main purpose of a folding screen was to keep out draughts, today it's mainly used as a partition to clearly delineate the uses of each room without the need for a wall. Thanks to its ease of installation and handling, all you have to do is place it where you want it.

The folding screen is also the ideal decorative object to hide from your guests a part of your home that you don't want exposed. Examples include your sleeping area or your office. As you can see, if you live in a studio, a folding screen is your best ally for creating privacy. It will also help you to hide small imperfections on the walls, whether you live in a studio, an apartment or a house.

Folding screens aren't just for indoors. There are also models suitable for outdoor use. By integrating a folding screen into the design of your terrace, for example, you can provide effective protection from prying eyes from neighbors and passers-by. It will also protect you from the wind and sun in the same way as panels or shutters, and add an elegant, trendy touch to your small garden.
