You Don't have shutters at your windows, and you Don't want to install cloaking curtains to avoid blocking the entry of light into the rooms? The screen then has all its interest in you.

In addition, it is very simple to install since simply unfold it in order to place and move it to simply dress your windows.
The advantages of a screen in front of a window
Instead of curtains, the screen has many advantages. Placed in front of a window, it reduces the light level in the room. It is very convenient because depending on the intensity of the brightness, you can move it very simply to manage the entry of the sun's rays inside. Thus, since it is not attached to the window, it is up to you to install or remove it as you please and according to your needs. Thanks to it, there is no need to drill through the wall to install a curtains rod or a rail to install Japanese panels. This option is therefore highly appreciated by those who do not wish to carry out even small works. Discreet, the screen is also very decorative and atypical. It is not used in the usual way to dress a window, thus allowing you to get out of the ordinary. So, if you want to play 100% of the decor card, bet on an original screen with character. Finally, this accessory makes it possible to create a very intimate atmosphere, for example in a bedroom.
The different types of screens to put in front of your windows
Different materials can make up the screens. In fact, you can first find the wooden screens, for a very natural and warm spirit. The wood used varies from model to model, but the two species most commonly used for these objects remain wicker and bamboo. There are also canvas screens, appreciated for their lightness and decorative spirit: you can find them in different colours, with or without motifs. Finally, the metal screens bring modernity near the windows. They are aesthetic in a chic and industrial loft atmosphere. These models are more expensive than fabric models, especially depending on the quality of the metal used.
