7 Creative Ways to Decorate Your Screen Room Divider

Screen room dividers are exceptional decorations for any room! These decorative accents are not only stunning pieces of home decor to admire, but they also offer you other advantages, such as room separations where they otherwise wouldn’t be possible, a way of discretely hiding certain items from guests in a pinch, and a boost in privacy.

While these decorations are undeniably practical and alluring, did you know that you could augment their beauty by adding other decorations to them? That’s right: you can decorate your decoration!

Before we get into seven creative ways of decorating your beloved and handy screen room divider, however, we need to cover a few key pointers you should be aware of prior to decorating.

Less Is More
While we are indeed big advocates of adding extra alluring elements to your favorite screen room divider, we also cannot stress enough that, in this instance, less is more. This is because too many decorative elements at once can detract from the divider’s own aesthetic and make the room appear too crowded.

Japanese room dividers, for just one example, are clean styles that wouldn’t work well with an overabundance of decorative elements on top of them. It’s best with these dividers, among others, to keep it simple!

Keep Colors In Mind
When decorating, keep in mind all the colors that are going into it. The decorations you’re adding, the screen itself, and the color scheme of the chosen room all matter. Make sure they don’t clash and emit the emotions/motif you’re after!

Use Caution When Decorating and/or Moving Your Screen Room Divider
Lastly, you should simply be aware and use caution when moving your screen room divider or adding any ornaments etc. to it. We don’t want to break anything, of course!

7 Creative Ways to Decorate Your Screen Room Divider
And now, without further ado, let’s check out just seven ways to decorate your screen room divider that are creative, easy, and beautiful!

1.String Up Some String Lights
Adding light to your interior is a major step in boosting your interior decor, which is why it is one of the most important factors designers consider. Why not place some string lights on your room divider?

Stringing up some string lights will be easy to do and will instantly add both warm lighting and unique aesthetics to your chosen area! We recommend battery-powered string lights for convenience, but if your room divider is near an outlet and the wire won’t negatively impact the look, then go for electrically-powered string lights!

2.Clip and Dangle Photos on Strings
Photographs are well-known to be household staples, whether they be in picture frames or not, or if they are displayed on the wall or coffee table. They evoke specific emotions and remind us of heartfelt memories.

You can take your favorite photographs and display them in a whole new way: on your room divider! You can string up some yarn or other string in your preferred way on your divider, secure them, then with clothesline clips, you can then add your favorite photos as you see fit. Bonus points if you choose polaroid pictures for a more classic theme!

3.Clip and Dangle Postcards
Not into the idea of hanging photos but would prefer to add some other items on the aforementioned strings? Try clipping and dangling some postcards instead! You could even add them in tandem with photos, if you so chose.

4.Surround It with Plenty of Plants

You don’t have to add decorations onto your dividers to really make them pop. You can add certain items next to or around them, too! Green plants and flowers are easily one of the greatest options to add to any indoor or outdoor space. They not only drastically boost the appearance of any room they’re in, but they can reduce your stress, increase concentration, boost your mood, and so much more!

Take your favorite green plants and/or flowers and place them around your divider. They will make the appearance of your divider softer, more inviting, and even more private! These will also sublimely match the aesthetics of especially clean looks of certain dividers, such as Japanese room dividers.

5.Hang A Few Garments/Accessories on Its Corners
How many times have you seen photos of room dividers or snippets of them in movies where they are holding a tossed garment or two? Quite a few times, we’d wager. You can hang your very own garments from your divider, too! However, we’d suggest not doing it so haphazardly.

You can hang hats on the corners of your divider and a quaint dress, robe, or dress shirt on a hanger, then over the top of your divider.

6.Place a Light-Colored Chair Very Close By
If you’d like to really make your space look and feel extremely cozy, then you can’t go wrong by adding in a light-colored and cozy chair! This seat could be anything your choose, from a short, adorable stool to a fuzzy loveseat.

Take this favorite chair of yours and put it either in front of (but not blocking too much of) your room divider. Or, if you have a larger seat, then you can place it next to it. We also say that it should be a light-colored chair so it is innocuous and doesn’t take way from the unique qualities of your room divider.

7.Hang a Circular Mirror
Mirror, mirror, on the … room divider? Mirrors are indeed superb decorative pieces that can only bode well for nearly any living space. This is because they not only provide users with a place to see their reflection but it also assists in reflecting light, better illuminating the room it’s in, and creating the illusion of a larger space!

You can carefully hang a mirror from your divider, too! Be sure to choose a lightweight option that your divider can withstand, however. We also especially recommend a circular mirror because this shape perfectly complements the rectangular shapes throughout your divider– and just looks great in general!
