Frosted Glass Room Divider Ideas
Home Improvement February 26th. 2010, 5:33amFrosted Glass Room Dividers are generally used as an interior design technique to add dimension to any room. Walls for your modern room divider can be made of screens or glass, with sliding doors or with contemporary linen on the frame. Prices on room dividers will vary based on the retailers visited as well as the materials and sizes or dimensions required. Replacement ideas for your room divider can come from the décor and color scheme of your chosen room. If you are planning to use a room divider to add privacy to an area of the room, look at the other area of the room that will be seen. This will give you ideas on the colors and materials that you can use to add to the room.
For lighter colored rooms, it is best to look for opaque materials or frosted and etched glass walls. This will cause the eye to not be able to see through the area, therefore allowing for privacy on the other side of the divider. Many dividers are made on a wooden frame and for additional privacy or simply for decorative purposes, linen, lace and wood veneer can be placed on the frame to add to the look. There are many people who enjoy the appearance of simple designs or initials in etched glass. Many retailers will have contact information on companies or individuals that offer custom design frosted glass room dividers. This will allow you to have a picture of anything you desire placed in the glass, or just a simple initial. When looking for ideas on the color of your divider screens, look at the décor of the room. Finding the color you see the least in your room will give you the base color of your screens so that you are able to bring that color to the forefront. This not only helps to draw attention to the small amount of that color in your décor, but also adds to the interior design of the room.
If you are using a room divider in a dark colored room, it is always best to use light hues of complimentary colors to make the eye draw to the divider. However, if you are simply trying to draw attention away from that portion of the room, it is best to simply stick with a solid color or solid frosted glass so that attention is diverted to another area. If you have a blue room, you should use hues and shades of orange to compliment the color scheme. If you are using a divider in a black room, classic white or ecru on your divider will have a classic design and color scheme that is timeless. For gray or green rooms, it is best to stick with light hues and shades of reds. For deep purple or red, use yellows and blues in very light shades to compliment the décor. Again, if you are trying to distract the eye away from that area of the room, getting a Contemporary Room Divider the same color as your décor will accomplish this for you.
