I've been playing with different layouts and furniture possibilities for my apartment (Are you ready for me to be done with it already? Yeah, me too.) and one thing I know I'm going to need for sure is a big screen in the corner...
Why? Because I'm a little bit crazy about hiding my clutter, and I'm a little bit too busy to be constantly organized, so I've decided that a screen is the best solution. When I have guests over, I certainly don't need them staring at my pile of receipts waiting to be filed, or my fabric sample explosion.
So, yes, behind the screen will be a desk. And a chair. And a lot of piles of things.
Now the question is... what kind of screen?
Do I go bold with prints or color all the way to the ceiling?
Or, there's always mirrors. Oh, I how I love the idea of a mirror! But I'm not sure I need that much reflection in my little space while I'm trying to watch TV.
Or, do I keep things simple and integrate them into the decor a little more and create a subtle, but architectural feel?
Have any of you integrated screens into your decor? Are they decorative, or functional? Or maybe a bit of both?
