How to Decorate Using a Floor Screen
Floor screens come in a variety of different sizes and types. You can purchase two-panel and three-panel screens for under $100 from most retail and superstore centers. Floor screens are easy to set up and use in any space. A three-panel is ideal as a room divider and a tall two-panel screen adds some height behind a table. Floor screens are an excellent way to decorate any space in your home. Does this Spark an idea?

Purchase a floor screen that has slots for photos and place it in a unused corner of your bedroom or living room. This is ideal if you don't have a lot of furniture, you want to display photos without hanging them on your walls or you want to change out the photos for each season or holiday.

Create three living zones in a large or over-sized room by placing one or more floor screens in the space to divide the room up. One area could be for sitting, having a couch or chairs, another could have a bed or large sofa and television and a third area could have a desk and computer or be used as a dressing area.

Tips & Warnings
When shopping for floor screens at retail outlets and superstores, look for close-out deals. If you find a floor screen that is inexpensive but the wrong color, paint the screen with some high-quality paint. Make sure you use a paint designed for the material out of which the screen is made.
