What is the difference between a screen and a partition?

A screen is a piece of furniture used to block the wind inside traditional buildings, so-called "screening the wind".

An appliance placed indoors to block wind or block sight. Some have a single leaf, while others have multiple leaves connected and foldable.

The use of screens began in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. They were called "di" and were exclusive to the emperor.

"Records of the Grand Historian" also records: "The emperor should stand behind a screen."

Screens are used for windbreaks, partitions, and concealment, and they can also embellish the environment and beautify the space. Therefore, they have been passed down to this day and have evolved into various forms through continuous evolution.

There are two types of screens: inserted screens and surrounding screens.

Most of the screens are single-leaf, with a base, and cannot be folded;

The screen is made up of multiple panels, at least two, and up to more than ten, and can be folded at will.

In addition, there are table screens and hanging screens.

Screens can create a leisurely and quiet atmosphere in the room, which is comfortable, cozy and private. However, screens have a strong sense of nostalgia, so more modern home designs prefer partitions.

There are simple partitions and practical partitions that are integrated with furniture. Partitions can effectively block sight lines and divide spaces. No matter how big or small the space is, partitions can have their own place to play.

Using partitions in overly large spaces can effectively reduce the sense of spaciousness brought by smaller spaces and prevent people from seeing the whole space at a glance.

By making good use of partitions in a small space, you can effectively divide the functional areas and save space. Combined with some practical furniture, you can easily make a small but complete space.

What other functions do partitions have?

1. Certain guiding role

In addition to the function of dividing space, partitions can also extend in one or several directions, so partitions also have a certain guiding function.

2. Decorate the interior

Partitions can be made into a variety of designs, different and beautiful to match different homes.

3. Blocking the line of sight

Sometimes, even just a glass partition can effectively block people's sight, providing separation without interruption and privacy.

If the screen is a dignified lady with classical charm, elegant and steady, quiet and beautiful like a painting; then the modern partition is like an imaginative artist, with various poses and can be dynamic or static.
