"With open floor plans so prevalent in today's interior residential design, the folding panel screen is making a comeback. Screens originally were used to break drafts in the 1500's. By the 1600's and 1700's, screens became as decorative as they were practical. Imported Oriental lacquered panels were very popular. At the height of the Victorian era, screens were to be found everywhere in every imaginable decorative form. Today, folding screens are used to conceal heating pipes, camouflage storage space, serve as a backup element for sofas and beds, and divide space in multi-purpose rooms. By covering them with wall paper and borders, they can serve as reinforcement for decorating scheme. Covered in fabric, they can lend a plush tactile sense to a furniture grouping. Decorative screens can be an unusual answer to vexing decorating problems.
