Instant Style: Upholstered Screens

Versatile, dramatic and oh-so-practical - upholstered screens are one amazing design trick! Screens are perfect for dividing a room, covering an unsightly corner, corralling a bulky mess, or adding much needed architectural character to a space. Plus, the upholstered surface helps absorb sound and creates a warm feel. Folding screens are especially wonderful for rental spaces, where removing that ugly pipe or building a study nook just might not be possible. I think a solid linen accented with nail heads is a gorgeous choice, but a screen can also be a brilliant opportunity to bring in a burst of lively pattern!

Here is bit of inspiration. . . .

Little Green Notebook has an amazing DIY here! And if you loved the chevron print screen bulletin board above as much as me . . . here is the Design Sponge instructions to make your very own.

But if you are not the DIY type, this beauty from World Market here is a steal at US$199! Or if you have a little more to spend, Mitchell Gold Bob Williams makes this lovely and classic version.
