How to Use a Shoji Screen in Your Home

Shoji screens are a common fixture in Japanese homes. These functional screens are often beautifully designed, making them just as decorative as they are useful. They are used in Japanese homes to add privacy, divide rooms, and make better use of living spaces. These screens can also be used in your own modern home to provide the same kind of beauty and functionality. If you have always wanted to add one or more of these beautiful screens to your home, here are some ways to integrate them into your decorating scheme.

Add a Shoji Screen for Privacy

Shoji screens are a natural for adding a bit of privacy to almost any room of your home. Try adding a screen to the bedroom to provide a private dressing area. Because these screens are translucent, you'll have the advantage of privacy without sacrificing light. Besides adding a private dressing area to the bedroom, it can also add a beautiful touch of charm and elegance. Choose one with a pretty pattern to add a decorative look.

These screens can also be used to provide hidden storage in the bedroom. If you lack sufficient closet space, try using a Shoji screen to hide a clothing rack. You'll instantly expand your clothing storage space, while adding a decorative accent to the bedroom. As an added bonus, you can even step behind the screen, select an outfit, and get dressed in your own private dressing area. These screens are also great for adding private areas to the bathroom. Especially in households where the bathroom is shared by multiple people, adding a screen can let more people use the room at one time.

Segregate Your Living Space with Shoji Screens

Shoji screens are also a great choice for visually dividing and segregating larger living areas. For example, if you have a desk or small home office in the bedroom you can visually divide it from the rest of the room by using such a screen. By clearly delineating the office space from the bedroom space, you'll enhance the relaxing atmosphere of the bedroom, while providing a private place to work. These screens work equally well in the living room or family room for marking off a personal reading area, small home office, or study area. You can also create a small personal retreat by using one or more Shoji screens. Block off a quiet corner of a room with a screen, add a comfortable chair or a few floor pillows, and you'll have your own personal retreat area.

Shoji Screens as Decorative Backdrops

Shoji screens are also great to hide unattractive walls or unwanted architectural features. For example, try hiding an unused and outdated fireplace behind such a screen. Or, use one behind the bed as a decorative alternative to a headboard. Using a Shoji screen in the living room behind a plant display can also be a great way to create a beautiful focal wall. Or, try using a screen to hide an ugly wall, or to soften harsh architectural features within the room.
