Wooden Privacy Screens
Whether you're looking to break up the open spaces of a loft, hide an ugly wall-mounted air conditioner, or screen your deck or patio from the neighbors, privacy screens can be handy to have inside and outside the home. You can get something simple and light that's easy to move around, or you can get something solid made from wood that, while a little heavier, tends to give the space a warm look (it also tends to last for years too).
Take a look at some of the wooden privacy screens here for ideas:
This wooden privacy screen is from Newman Studio. Called the Stilo, it's made from classy brown mahogany.
Though it's not very ornate, it gets the job done and its simple lines give a feeling of organization rather than clutter. No mention of price or whether it's appropriate for outdoor use on the website, so you'll have to ask them for details if you're interested.
If you prefer ornate to simple, then you may dig this teak screen, which can be used outdoors as well as indoors. More rustic than modern, this one features carved panels and frosted panes.
The decorative privacy screen could be used on your deck or patio (dividers like this can be nice when you're in a small yard and the neighbors can easily see into your outdoor living space). This one is $819 at the Room Divider Store.
When you're using wood for the key material, you can find lots of privacy screens that can be used outdoors (look for species of woods that are known for being resistant to warping, rot, and insects), and this acacia hardwood screen is another example. With four generous panels, this divider also leans toward the simple side, but with the natural beauty of the wood, simple is often enough.
$239 from Outdoor Garden Furniture.
