Japanese Folding Screens & Room Dividers

Japanese Folding Screens & Room Dividers

Folding screens, originally used in China and Japan, have become common in Europe. They are used as a room divider, as a screen, or simply as a beautiful accent piece. The Japanese aesthetic, with its love of simple, geometric forms is given expression in these objects, making them an ideal way of bringing a sense of calm and order to your interior. You can also use a shoji screen on your balcony as a shield against the wind or for privacy.

Shoji screens are versatile furnishing elements. They are easily folded together and placed where you need them. Due to special hinges, each panel of the screen can be folded in either direction, so you can position it exactly as you need. We offer shoji screens with 3 or 4 panels, as you prefer.

Shoji screens are perfect for small apartments, as they can be used to divide a room into areas for different uses. Divide your bedroom into a sleeping area and an office, for example. Or create a quiet dining area within your living room.

Shoji screens are suitable not only in the home; they are very useful in large offices, where it can be difficult to concentrate without the privacy afforded by such a screen. And medical practices employ shoji screens for additional privacy. In the home or office, shoji screens are an easy way to hide cluttered areas.

Above all, shoji screens are a lovely way to give your home an Asian look and can be placed against a wall or behind a sofa or armchair for its decorative value alone. Japanwelt carries a wide range of screens, from the most simple, classic style to more extravagant models such as “Geisha.”
