Choose a bookcase style Room Divider for maximum storage and style!

A new type of room divider is becoming ever more popular.  These room screens differ from the traditional styles in a few ways, yet still offer many of the same benefits. Instead of a three or four panel solid room screen that folds, this new room divider option features a shelving design. This is a great choice for many areas of the home.  Obviously, it doesn’t offer the same amount of privacy as a shoji screen, so it shouldn’t be used to create a dressing area or to block out a door less bathroom.  But, these Room Divider Shelves offer something that traditional folding screens don’t: storage.  They are available in different forms, sizes and styles.  Most are designed, though, to display books and collectibles.  The difference between these and bookcases, however, is that they don’t have a back on them, so they can be placed anywhere in the room, they are not limited to the walls.  Use these unique room dividers to add maximum visual appeal to any space, with added storage as a bonus.  In the main living area, a bookshelf style room screen can separate a large living room into a conversation area and entertainment area.  Or use it to separate the dining room from the living room.  The benefit is that you can actually see through the screen, creating a more seamless separation of the spaces.  Another benefit is that you get the style and decor on both sides of the divider.  Whether you are sitting in the dining room or the living room, you can still see your collectible items stacked neatly on the shelves.  Use this beautiful modern Room Divider Shelving Unit to display your favorite vases, bowls of potpourri, framed photographs and coffee table books.
