Creating a Foyer with Screens & Dividers
Thursday, May 12th, 2011
This laser cut screen is a bargain at $260 and comes in 2 styles and 3 patterns.
In many smaller homes and apartments, you open the front door and “surprise” you are in the living room. While you’ve go to make every square foot count, I still think a well-designed transition helps round out your space. This got me thinking of all the inventive and attractive ways you can create a mini foyer. Decorative screens and room dividers provide lots of options.
- You can choose a laser cut screen for a classic look.
- Modern hanging designs create a bold statement.
- Simple cubes complete a simple modern look that also provides built-in storage.
When you start considering your options aim for something that is either low (36″ high bookcase) or that’s somewhat translucent (screens and hanging dividers). That way the space will feel open from both sides and allow people to be seen coming and going. It will be a stylish spot to great your guests and a cozy little home for your keys, umbrella and purse.
