If you are looking for a traditional but innovative way to refurbish a living space, a sliding screen door or Shoji door can add a spectacular aesthetic dimension to your living space. Shoji sliding screen doors allow light to illuminate your living space while simultaneously providing privacy for sleep, reading, or quiet time. Beautifully crafted frames support lightweight screens to enhance your room with more than a hint of a Japanese aesthetic. As a sliding screen door, nothing quite equals the sense of elegance and energy of a Shoji door.
Although a traditional Shoji door would use rice-paper to hold together the mesh of bamboo and wooden frames, modern versions usually make use of other materials, such as fiberglass or plastic sheeting to produce a very similar effect.
Elegant by virtue of sheer simplicity, a Shoji sliding screen door adds a dimension of sophistication to modern home décor. Easy to open and close without taking up space due to its sliding action, the minimalist sliding screen door can paradoxically add complexity to any contemporary aesthetic.
Long used in traditional houses in Japan and other Asian countries, the lattice work of a Shoji screen can cast soft light into any room, such as a meditation room with a rug and hardwood floor that can polish and reflect light to glow throughout the room.
A Shoji sliding screen door is also very versatile, which means that it can be used as a closet or wardrobe door, a door to fill an entrance to any room, a screen door covering an exterior door. A sliding screen door can also boost the value of your home if you ever plan to put it on the market. When rightly installed, a Shoji screen door can add value to your home décor and attract potential buyers when it comes time to sell. There is nothing quite like entering a room filled with the warm light and the close comfort provided by a Shoji sliding screen door.
Shoji sliding screen doors work well as room dividers, as well, separating space for privacy in a loft, studio apartment, basement, or large living space. Since light still penetrates through the screen, using a Shoji screen as a room divider is ideal when you want to cordon off a section of the room space but are still reliant on light from outside the area you wish to use. There is a multiplicity of applications both inside and outside the house for the Shoji sliding screen door.
