Building a Room Divider Screen

Admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:46:34 +0000

I have not had the time to get an article on room dividers written, so I have decided instead to browse the Internet for a few good suggestions on building your own tri-fold divider screens.

Lowes has a good beginner level tutorial on building divider screens on their website, including a complete materials list.

HGTV has a good in-depth tutorial on their website on building a hinged room divider decorated with wallpaper.

Room Dividers

I was paging though a copy of Better Homes and Gardens from last October when I was waiting for my dad down at the physical therapy place, the magazine had a full page in it that was showing the use of a room divider screen to separate an office work area from the living room.

I was admiring the nice celery green screen with the brass chair tack trim – until I noticed the price. $543.00

Okay, that is a bit steep for a roughly 80″ tall trifold divider, even with the nice brass trimmed twill fabric.

There has to be a better way to do this, and being a do-it-yourself fanatic I have decided to chase down that “better way” to do it. I’m working on an article on how to build a trifold divider to suit the decor of your home and will have it posted to this site when I am finished with it.

Glidden has a deal going right now that you can get a free quart of your choice of Glidden paint color in an Eggshell finish. You need to live in the continental United States to get the free quart of paint, but if so then I suggest you check out the Free Paint Giveaway at the Glidden website for full details and to select your color of choice for your home projects.

My only complaint – Alaska is excluded from the offer.
