One of the drawbacks of an open space plan is that there is no sense of division for big areas. Take for example a wide open living room that also plays host to the work-from-home-mom’s office or library. Without a doubt in such cases it would be very hard for someone to type away at a fast approaching deadline with the children watching television or playing a board game in the same room. However, it might be just as hard to do so even if the kids are not even there. In these scenarios, room dividers and privacy screens are an excellent solution—in fact, they actually create more space.
By getting a divider to zone off a certain part of a big spacious open plan, you not only maximize space efficiently, but, you also create a sense of division. Sitting on the couch and enjoying a drink and watching a movie while sitting behind a privacy screen can actually transform you into a different zone. Take the Classic Bamboo Lilac Screen from Greenington. Available here at BEYOND Stores, this contemporary privacy screen offers just the right amount of division, while embracing the entire space. It allows light to pass through its wooden slats, and it is available in five different colors.
