Rice Paper Partitions: A Classy Way To Divide Up A Large Room
Looking for a classy way to divide up a large room in your home, without making the space feel boxy or cluttered? One solution that people have used for thousands of years in Japan and other oriental countries is rice paper partitions. Made out of pressed pulp rice paper framed in panels of wood, these partitions are freestanding and can be created in any size, shape, design and color you can imagine. Let's take a look at some of the many options in rice paper partitions.
Ore International offers their Black 4 Panel Plum Blossom Screen Room Divider, which is an example of the most decorative types of rice paper screens. With four hinged walls featuring 21 panes of rice paper framed by black veneer wood, the white rice paper features a mural of a beautiful cherry tree in full blossom. Japanese characters nestle among the branches, and the whole screen is lightweight enough to move around to create privacy anywhere it is needed.
Accent Furniture Direct offers a more traditional rice paper partition with their Zen Asian Room Divider in Rosewood. With a three panel design similar to the divider from Ore International, this divider has 14 panes of rice paper framed by Scandinavian spruce. This particular divider is available in three different finished, and features classic, plain rice paper panels that let light in, but aren't transparent. This divider also features two way hinges, so that the three panels can be arranged in any direction.

And these are just two examples of the beautiful, movable rice paper partitions you can use to divide up a large room. A good rule of thumb when looking for the right one for your home is to decide if you want a modern/contemporary look, or a more traditional/shoji look. It's also helpful to know ahead of time if you want to buy a rice paper screen from an oriental artisan, or if you are okay with an authentic reproduction made in the US. Both are fine of course, it's just a matter of how authentic you want to get with your oriental design theme. Just be sure to buy from a store, artist or wholesale dealer that offers free returns, so that if you don't like it for some reason, you can return it. |
