1. Split a room
As its name implies, screen dividers are most commonly used to divide a space into different sections. If there are areas in your home where you wish there was a wall, just use a room screen divider instead. So, for example, if your dining room and living room are not divided but you would like them to be, a folding screen divider can be used to separate them into two distinct rooms.
2. Add visual excitement to your space
Maybe your space is just lacking some visual excitement and could use a little pizazz. If that’s the case, then adding a room divider screen is the perfect solution. Screens come in various styles and many feature lively designs and prints that will instantly transform your space. Just place the screen in a corner or area that could use some more flair.

3. Make your space more functional
Screen dividers aren’t just designed to look pretty. Some screens are equipped with bulletin boards or have large canvas pockets to help you stay more organized. These functional designs are perfect if you have a home office and want to keep it from being cluttered.
4. Hide an ugly area
Is there an area in your home that you wish you could cover up? Such as a scratched wall or an unfortunate view out the window? Then use a room divider to hide it! A screen divider will cover up whatever eyesore you want hidden while adding a touch of style to your space.

5. Add privacy
Screens can be used in any room that needs a little more privacy. Use a screen to make a concealed dressing room in bedrooms that have a lot of windows or in rooms that your kids share. Having that extra privacy can make a person feel more comfortable in their home.
As you can see, screen dividers can be used to meet a variety of needs. Try one out in your home and see just how stylish and functional a screen can be!
