Visual Merchandisers Get Creative with Room Dividers

The new trend using room divider folding screens with images for showcasing product


Commercial window dressers and visual merchandisers  face many challenges when deciding on the appropriate props and accessories to use for designing displays in stores and showcasing windows.  The way the merchandise is displayed will have a great effect on how customers interact with products in store.   Many store owners will agree that if a product is displayed the wrong way it loses its value and can hurt overall sales.  Many big box department stores have elaborate display windows which attract people from all over the world who come just to see the window displays.   In reality, most small and privately owned store fronts do not have huge window displays, nor a big enough budget to hire a professional to dress up the window.  
This store owner uses a life size cardboard cut out of President Obama with the NYC colorful skyline room divider as a backdrop.


Benjamin, the founder of UrbanAccentsNY.com, an online shopping site specializing in room dividers, devised a plan to market specialty folding screens with poster images to businesses.  He says, “Many storefronts and businesses do not realize the powerful effect these art print room dividers have on customers.”  Also referred to as art print divider screens, manufacturers in China were able to digitally crop an image commonly found on posters, and print a double sided image on a 6ft folding paneled canvas frame.  Because they are mass produced and imported, production costs are fairly lower, enabling these screens to retail for just a bit over a hundred dollars.

The beauty of these 6ft tall printed screens is that the average person has never seen an image to this scale unattached to the wall or a billboard.  From a psychological standpoint, the bigger the image, the more importance we give it. We tend to relate the image with the place of business or the product.  Many retail stores will use hanging banners from the ceiling or pop up banners on the floor.  The advantage of using art print dividers is that they enhance the attractiveness of a product and also they draw a lot of attention.   There are over 200 different images to choose from with a double sided unique image from subjects such as, world famous photography, international travel posters, nature and wildlife, vintage and fine art, impressionist paintings and children’s art, entertainment and cartoons.  

Visual merchandisers are now using these folding screens as backdrops in window showcasing.  Many window displays cases in stores do not have a backdrop, so the product on display is not isolated from the rest of the store and does not stand out. These decorative printed screens isolate the products on display from the rest of the merchandise and deflect the glare of the sun so people from outside can see through the window.  

UrbanAccentsNY.com, features hundreds of these decorative printed screens, along with unique urban style furniture and home accents.   More and more visual merchandisers are starting to realize the function of this product and are starting to use them in creative ways.  Please feel free to share any ideas on ways you would use these room dividers.

Wall Posters Transform Into Functional Art


 

Wall Posters Transform Living Spaces Into Functional Art
The New Urban Trend in Theme Decorating with Room Divider Screens

Wall posters are a thing of the past. Now they can be replaced by a 6ft folding screen that not only divides the space of a room, but also boasts a unique iconic printed image front and back.  Many people are familiar with famous city skyline pictures of New York City, Paris, London as well as the exotic beaches of Santorini and Hawaii. All the popular posters that once were either taped to a teenager’s wall can now be replaced by art print room dividers.  

A three panel folding screen weighs about 8 lbs. To keep production costs down, the surface of these decorative paneled screens, on which the large image is printed, is printed on a poly-cotton blend canvas, rather than an all cotton canvas. This material is similar to a vinyl canvas that is commonly used to print wall decals and banners making it easy to clean. The finished printed canvas is wrapped around a lightweight kiln dried spruce wood frame. Because the substitution of cheaper material and overseas production costs are significantly cheaper, these art print room dividers can look deceivingly expensive yet they retail for around $129.

The trend for using these decorative screens is also taking off in many urban areas and college dorms.  The famous wall poster which once was just hung or taped to a wall as a reminder of one’s self-expression has now made its way onto a large functional piece of art that stands on the floor in the center of any room. The divider can be folded and neatly put away when company arrives. When the time comes to retire the folding screen, the hinges can be removed and the panels can be mounted to the wall as an attractive piece of canvas art.

In urban settings, many people live in small apartments or studios where a room divider folding screen is very functional and can visually define a space or can be used to create a temporary wall for privacy.  Benjamin, a young and hip furniture salesman living in Manhattan, realized from his experience with working for various different furniture stores around New York City that they all carried the same commonly seen Japanese shoji screen with the window pane pattern.  There was never a real vast selection of screens.  He then created the popular e-commerce site, UrbanAccentsNY.com, featuring hundreds of different room divider screens with art print from a diverse range of subjects and themes.

As Benjamin says, “These art print dividers are very functional and have multiple uses. They are perfect for theme decorating your apartment and can also be used as visual merchandising props in boutiques, restaurants, catering halls, day care centers and schools. I like think of them as portable wall murals.” An example of a room divider’s urban commercial use is in small clothing boutiques which do not have ample space for a full-size dressing room, they instead buy 3 screens to make an instant pop-up dressing room so their customers can try on clothes in privacy.

In the city, many people live in small apartments or one room studios where a room divider screen is very functional and can visually define a space or can be used to create a temporary wall for privacy.  Benjamin, a young furniture salesman in Manhattan realized that in his experience working in various different furniture stores across the city, they all carried the common Japanese shoji screen with the window pane pattern.  There was never a real vast selection of screens.  He later thought of an idea to create an ecommerce site, Urban Accents NY featuring hundreds of different room divider screens with art print from a diverse range of subjects and themes.

They are perfect for theme decorating and can also be used as  display merchandising props in boutiques, restaurants, catering halls, day care centers and schools. I think of them as a portable wall mural.” An example of its urban commercial use is that small clothing boutiques in densely populated cities do not have ample space for a  real dressing room. so they will buy usually 3 of them to make a pop up dressing room so their customers can try on clothes in privacy.  

The trend for displaying these decorative screens is taking off in many urban areas and college dorms.  The famous wall poster which once was just hung or taped to a wall as a reminder of one’s self expression, has now made its way onto a large functional piece of art that stands on the floor.

Visual Merchandising Display Ideas Using Room Dividers & Folding Screens

One thing I find very useful for these art print room dividers is that they are not only used to divide a section of a room, but also can be used in various ways.  Retail stores can use them as a back drop for the window display merchandising.  Lets say you have a clothing boutique.  There are many different screens you could use.  The Mannequin screen is one of the most popular designs.  This screen comes in 3 or 4 panels.  The vintage theme screens are also quite useful for retail stores.  Another way you could use it is at a trade show, or flea market.  From all the different screens available. There should be one that fits your theme of what you are promoting or selling.  Lastly for those people that produce their own video blogs for youtube or other video sharing websites.  These different themed screens make a nice backdrop for when you are talking in front of the camera.  This helps hide any clutter, or personal items that should be concealed.

Over 150 Different Images Double Sided on A 6ft Room Divider

How To Decorate and Divide a Space in A Dorm or Small Room with A Room Divider

Thank god no more curfews and no more mom and dad telling me what to do.  Isn't going off to college exciting?  Now that you are going to be away from your high school time capsule of a room with all your favorite band posters, you have a little bit of a decorating challenge ahead.  Most likely you will be sharing the room with somebody else so decorating tastes may clash.  However there is one thing both roommates that share the same room can agree upon...a little bit of privacy and separation doesn't hurt.

Most dorm rooms can be the size of prison cells.  Some prison cells may be even bigger than your typical dorm room.  My freshman dorm in college was so small, I had to throw the pet gerbil out the window to make more room.  A stylish way you can solve some privacy issues is with a folding screen room divider.  There are some great ideas of how you can decorate your dorm room with style and function. There are over 150 different art print themed double sided room dividers to choose from.  From the worlds greatest photography to impressionist paintings and vintage art.  Make a bold statement in your dorm room while adding function.


You will need a little privacy with some stylish art print widow blinds.  Nothing is more unattractive and institutional than those rolling beige curtains that never stay down or never roll up.  These art print window blinds are made from bamboo with high saturated ink to create a visual delight and uniqueness to  your room.  I personally guarantee your dorm neighbors or suite mates will compliment your original taste in
 decor.


Lastly, what better way to store your little items in attractive functional storage drawers.  Let's face it, the dorms only provide you with a desk and a small closet if your lucky.  There is nothing more hideous than those disgusting synthetic plastic drawers that are not biodegradable.  A suggestion for added storage space for small items is natural woven fiber rush grass.  Strong, durable and lightweight, these storage drawers come in many different sizes and colors.  They make great end tables and nightstands, lingerie chest.  Great for bathrooms as well.

Ideas for Room Dividers and Decorative Screens for Different Functions

Room dividers have many different functions.  They can be used to divide a space as well as define a space and let's not forget they're also used to accentuate a space.  Let's first discuss how room dividers can be used to define the function of living within the same given space.

Small spaces or studio apartments can serve many different functions in one room.  We eat, sleep, work, and sit in the same room.  A living room is usually adjacent to the kitchen, as well as the dining area.  Many small apartments do not have a separate room for dining.  A room divider is a great idea to have to define the area.  In small spaces we need to give the mind an illusion of a more defined living area so we don't feel like we are living in a prison cell.  Now depending on the layout of the room, you should choose the right size room divider.  If you have an alcove dining area, perhaps you would like to use a taller 4 or more panel screen.  If you do not have an alcove dining area, then a lower, or shorter divider is a good idea so it appears the room is more flowing and not as cramped.

Another function we do in the same space is work.  Many people will set up their computer desk in their living space.  If you do that, it is important to  section off or define that space.  A shorter divider is recommended so one is able to see the room when sitting down at their desk.

Next, a room divider can be used in a corner behind a plant or lamp.  These make great backdrops and add depth to your space.  There's always room in some corner of a room for an interesting accent piece.

Decorative head boards.  In my experience as a furniture salesman, many young people buy a headboard many months after they buy their basic bed.  What better way to give your bed frame a little character than adding a decorative folding screen.  It may not keep your pillow from falling, but it will look quite beautiful.

Art print room dividers with various themes can be used in so many ways.  Asides from its residential use, it also has many commercial uses as well.  If you own let's say an Italian restaurant, or other ethnic restaurant, you could browse the selection of  "international landmarks" with different travel posters and photographs from around the world.

The picture below shows a common living room dining room layout in a nice size New York City apartment.  A room divider would fit perfectly in this configuration of the room to separate the dining alcove from the living room.  If you notice, the picture is taken from the entry way when you walk into the apartment.  The room divider will give an illusion of the two rooms being separate which adds more depth.



Art print room dividers can also make great backdrops and accents for trade shows and events.  With so many themes to choose from, there should be a screen to match the theme of an event you're hosting.

Interesting Ways on Using Room Dividers and Folding Screens

Room Dividers with Art print
Sometimes looking at at an empty fire place can create quite an eye soar for the living room.  Also there may be some areas in your home or business that can look quite ugly and totally spoil the decor in the room.  Ugly pipes and radiators and wiring from the media centers.

Also if you happen to have pets that you need to confine to a certain area of the home, you don't need a "room divider", rather you need a short folding screen no taller than 4ft.

Urban Accents offers a few folding screens in 3ft and 4ft.  The 4ft tall venetian style shutter screen comes in six panels and heavy and sturdy made from all wood.  Available in black, honey, rosewood and white. Also available in 4 panels

Next, there are the 3ft and 4ft shoji screens available in 4 and 6 panels.  Six panels is recommended if you are really trying to conceal all corners and sides of something.

These screens are not meant to be used while fire is actually burning.
