Room dividers have been around for a very long time; they come in types of materials, shapes and sizes and can be used for any purpose the owner wishes. Accordion Room Divider has always been used as a privacy screen; they are often seen as small studio apartments where the sleeping area is kept separate from the rest of the apartment. Many people today use them as decorative accents and as they can be used for so many purposes, the key when purchasing one is the intended use.
There are many homes where privacy screens have a utilitarian purpose. For people with small kids, you will appreciate just how they can mess up their rooms with toys and games. When one end of the room is partitioned off with a frosted glass screen, they can play all day and yet the mess can be shut off from the main room with a simple sliding glass door. This is the same when the formal living room is adjacent to the family room; a glass screen between the two which can be opened and closed at will provide all the privacy that is necessary.
There are other privacy screens other than those made from glass panes, many are free standing and have about three folds in them. When extended, the folds are left at an angle which provides support for the screen but when called for the screen can be folded up on itself and stored. These types of screens are often made from decorative fabrics and can be quite ornate and are often used for vanity purposes in a bedroom which does not have a separate dressing area.
Privacy screens can also be used as a way to hide materials which are being stored. There are times when the household may find that they have accumulated a lot of books that they do not want to dispose of. In cases akin to this, it is simple to build shelving in the corner of a room and surround it with a screen, by doing this it is not necessary to purchase a rather expensive bookcase which will be visible in the room, simple, inexpensive bookshelves will do the job and the books will be forever available.
