Furniture Trend: Folding Screens.

Whether made out of wood or iron or upholstered in fabric, folding screens are making a comeback in rooms.  They help to take up space and add height to dark or wasted room corners as well as sectioning off areas of a larger room.  Screens also serve as places to hang artwork or mirrors where no wall is present.  Have a room that doubles as a guest room occasionally?  Use a folding screen to add private spaces within public areas.  Over the next few months, look for more screens being featured in stores and shelter magazines.
