Poltrona Frau Moucharabieh
This exquisite screen from designer Jean-Marie Massaud features a pattern of polygons of various shapes and sizes, representing a scaled-up detail of the grain of the leather. The structure of the model consists of frames with an aluminum profile, and the corners are made of steel and plastic. The name Moucharabieh comes from the word "mashrabiya". This is an element of Arabic architecture - patterned wooden grilles that cover windows and balconies from the outside, or are used as partitions inside the building.

In hot countries, the mashrabiya grille provides unhindered penetration of fresh air into the premises, while reliably protecting from scorching sun rays without interfering with a good view of the surroundings. The details of the lattice insert panels are turned and assembled in such a way that they are impenetrable from the outside, but visible from the inside. It is widely believed that the mashrabiya was intended to separate the women's quarters from the rest of the house, or was used as a veil window for an oriental woman.

Materials for making screens: how to choose?
At all times, screens were made from various types of wood, and then the textile part was stretched over the wooden frame. Nowadays all kinds of, and sometimes even unusual, materials are used to create structures.
Table 2. Types of materials used for the manufacture of partitions
Material, illustration | A comment |
Wood and analogues | In the manufacture of products, both sanded wood and connections of various slats and boards are used. Plywood is often used for such purposes, because such material has a budget cost and is easy to process. In addition, you can use any old, unnecessary items to make a screen (it could even be wooden doors or window frames). You can install such a partition both indoors and in the courtyard of your home. |
Metal | This material is used to make a screen frame, after which the product can be covered with wood, fabric and even paper. You can order such a frame from a craftsman who has specialized equipment. It is worth noting that you should not make a solid metal screen, because it will not have a very attractive appearance and will be heavy. It is recommended to use thin metal rods for such purposes. The metal screen will fit perfectly into the design of a winter garden with various plants. |
Plastic pipes | PVC pipes are often used for the manufacture of various frame structures, including partitions. Their main positive quality compared to other products is their light weight, so this screen can be moved around the room without any problems. The designs are easy to maintain; you just need to wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust. The products are often used outdoors to hide from the active rays of the sun in hot weather. |
Plastic plates | This is a popular material used to make various screens. There are ready-made decorative panels on sale that are quite simply fixed to the frame. The advantage of the structures is that they do not deform when exposed to moisture or high temperature, which is why they are often installed in showers. |
Cardboard | The cheapest and most accessible material for the majority of the population, which is used in the manufacture of screens. The peculiarity is that you can make any decorative structure from it - you can quickly cut out parts of any shape from cardboard using a stationery knife, and then fasten them together. The only drawback of cardboard screens is their poor resistance to negative environmental changes, so they are only suitable for apartments, and even there they require regular updating. |
Branches | Various decorative screens are quite often made from this material, because such designs look aesthetically pleasing and unusual, and are also lightweight and portable, making them quite easy to carry. It is worth noting that proper processing of the material will allow you to install the screen even on the street. |
Vinyl discs | The most unusual method of making partitions from the options presented above. The plates can be secured using various decorative threads, resulting in a kind of curtain. Such screens are used only for decorative purposes; they can be placed in an apartment, office, store or cafe. |

Place for a photo zone
Where else besides home can you arrange a photo zone? A photo zone can be made both at home and on the street, in a studio, in a hangar, on the river bank. Be sure to look where the sun is. If the photo zone will be located on the street, then be sure to think about the time of the photo shoot, where there will be sun. Don't plan a photo shoot during the day. The shadows on the face will be harsh and unsightly. Think about where the photographer will stand. Leave space in front so that there is at least 2 meters from the photo zone to the shooting location. Remove all distracting details near the photo zone.

Interior ideas
The main purpose of the screen is considered to be zoning of space. But this ancient decorative element can solve many more interesting problems:
- A wooden structure equipped with mirrors will not only complicate the interior, visually expanding the space, but will also help you appreciate your appearance. It will also hide the owner from prying eyes while changing clothes.
- The room of a needlewoman or artist is often filled with creative chaos, which depresses the household. The partition will hide scattered objects and allow the creator to create his masterpieces without disturbing anyone.
- Let's not forget about privacy. A screen is useful if two people live in a room, but one person sits too long in front of the TV or computer screen, and the second needs to rest. A partition helps solve this problem partly by muffling sound and reducing light penetration.
The photo shows a bedroom with a three-leaf partition in the form of full-length mirrors.
- Another possible option for using a screen is zoning a combined bathroom. If the bathroom is too spacious, a DIY partition will help provide privacy. It performs the same function on the balcony, protecting it from unwanted neighbors’ views.
- If the structure begins to take up too much space, it can easily be turned into a headboard: you just need to fix it on the wall.
- We should also talk about a homemade screen for photographers and craftsmen who display the results of their work online. This beautiful product serves as a good backdrop for various handmade items.
The photo shows a light, modern wooden screen that fits harmoniously into the bedroom interior with panoramic windows. It helps protect sleeping people not only from prying eyes, but also partially from sunlight.

Winter photo zone outdoors
The main thing is that there is no bitter winter frost outside. You can break the camera and appear in the photographs with a red nose, like Santa Claus. May you not be Santa Claus on New Year's Eve.
You can be a Snow Maiden with rosy cheeks. So we monitor the weather and choose a day without blizzards, blizzards and bitter frost. Although some of you will say the opposite. Photos in the cold turn out magical and fabulous if there is also sun outside. In general, it could turn out to be a fairy tale. Try this and that.
Use everything you see on the street. It could be a snow-covered Christmas tree, a bright red fence, a snowman that children made, rowan trees, lanterns, benches. All this can be used for a winter photo zone outside. Take a bright blanket with you. Wear a bright skirt and red lipstick if you're a girl. If you are a guy, then a bright jacket or tie, a fur coat, and felt boots will suit you.

Making screens with your own hands from scrap materials
There are a huge number of schemes according to which you can assemble a partition yourself. In addition, the materials used during the work are considered accessible. Below we will present several simple but original options.
A simple version of a screen made of wood and fabric
This is a classic way of making partitions, and the material is stretched over the finished wooden structure once its assembly is complete. The product can have various configurations, including a folding shape, in the form of an accordion. It is important to choose a fabric of the desired texture and a certain shade, depending on where you plan to install the partition.
Ready-made version of a standard screen
During the manufacturing process you will need the following:
- bars (12 pieces 2 centimeters wide and 170 centimeters long, 12 pieces 2 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters long);
- textile;
- stain and varnish;
- water-based coating agent;
- glue;
- elements for decoration;
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- door hinges;
- stapler;
- screws;
- sandpaper;
- saw.
Step-by-step instruction
Step one: you need to mark the bars to make the frame. Therefore, you should measure 60 millimeters from the beginning of the plank using a measuring tape and a simple pencil, and then make a line. The same steps are repeated on other bars.
Mark the tree with a simple pencil, it is easier to erase if necessary
Step two: you will need to make cuts according to the representative markings - to do this, you need to use a handsaw to leave indentations halfway up each block.
Thin bars can be cut well with a hacksaw or hand saw.
Step three: along the edges of each plank, you need to use a hammer and chisel to remove the wood, down to the base of the cut.
When working, be careful not to hit your fingers with the hammer.
Step four: a layer of wood glue should be applied to the inside of the frame, and then the bars should be joined into a solid frame.
After gluing, the parts must remain fixed while the glue hardens.
Step five: when the glue has completely set, you will need to carefully sand the surface with sandpaper. After which it will be possible to apply the first layer of varnish to the frame structure.
Use fine sandpaper for sanding
Step six: furniture hinges or corners must be secured to the structure as connections. They are fixed using a screwdriver and screws.
The screws should not be longer than the frame bars, otherwise their ends will come out
Step seven: when the frame of the screen is completely ready, you need to proceed to the stage of creating its fabric part. You can choose any textile material; in this case, it is important to consider the location of the product. The fabric should be cut out based on the dimensions of the frame itself. You will definitely need to leave a few centimeters for hems. In the absence of a single piece of fabric, you can use a combination of several different types, the main thing is that they are combined in structure, so that the finished structure will look aesthetically pleasing.
Pieces of fabric should be cut to the required sizes, and then their edges should be processed.
Step eight: in order to fix the fabric on the slats, you will need a special stapler. It is necessary to fasten the material from the top, moving to the bottom of the structure. It should be taken into account that the textile must have a good degree of tension, otherwise it will quickly sag in the future.
The sides of the fabric are fixed last
Step nine: after securing the fabric to all frames, you need to secure parts of the screen using furniture hinges. It is advisable to use two loops for each connection, this will make the screen much more convenient to fold and store.
The loops are attached over the textile layer
Mobile screen made of cardboard tubes
In recent years, the manufacture of various structures for the home from environmentally friendly and affordable materials has become especially popular - such as cardboard pipes. Film, linoleum, and textiles are wrapped around them for ease of storage, so you can purchase them for a nominal price in a hardware or textile store, because such pipes are waste and are sent for disposal. Sometimes they are given away free of charge subject to pickup, which allows you to significantly save your budget.
Ready-made screen made of cardboard tubes
Despite the ease of manufacture, such a product will have good stability. During the work you will need:
- cardboard pipes of the desired length - at least 18 pieces;
- tight cord for connection;
- measuring tape;
- scissors;
- a simple pencil;
- drill;
- paint (if you plan to paint the screen).
Step-by-step instruction
Step one: you need to align all the pipes to the desired height. So, if linoleum rolls were taken as the material, then they are usually cut into two parts, because the average height is about two to three meters. Some craftsmen prefer to cut pipes of different heights, which gives the structure an unusual look. Next, they need to be laid out on a flat surface, aligned along the bottom.
You can cut pipes with a sharp knife or a hand saw.
Step two: at the bottom of the pipe you need to make a mark at a distance of 20 centimeters (lowest point). Then you will need to leave the designation at a distance of 100 centimeters upward (top point). In the middle of the segment you should again put a mark (center point). All other pipes are marked in this way.
It is more convenient to mark the pipes together so that they do not roll on the surface
Step three: in the places where the marks were placed, you will need to make holes using a drill.
Drilling cardboard is quick and easy
Step four: starting from the bottom points, thread a decorative cord through the holes.
Make holes in the pipes, focusing on the thickness of the cord
Step five: then you need to tighten the pipes together so that the structure is tight. The finished screen can be installed in any room. It has an original appearance that resembles bamboo.
If desired, the finished product can be painted in any way.
Lightweight cardboard screen: option for beginners
To quickly create a simple cardboard screen you will need the following:
- cardboard sheets (you can take a single-color material or try to create a bright product with a combination of several shades);
- a simple pencil;
- scissors.
Table 3. Instructions for making a simple cardboard screen
Steps, illustration | Description |
Step one: cut out the fragments | On sheets of durable cardboard, you need to cut out fragments of the future screen according to the picture shown below the table. The exact dimensions depend on the dimensions of the room and individual preferences. It is important to remember that there must be an even number of parts. All cuts are made using scissors, taking into account the openings for the grooves. |
Step two: connecting the parts | Next, you need to connect the fragments using grooves, inserting them into each other. |
Step three: build a partition | Finished parts should be placed in lines, secured to each other in grooves. In this way, a multi-row structure can be formed. The result will be a decorative, but rather fragile partition. |
Using the same principle, you can make a design with butterflies, making connections between parts in the grooves

Folds must be formed according to the principle of corrugated sheets
Step two: the fabric should be fixed to the metal frame using special sewing needles. In this case, you should not overtighten the material; it should be arranged in folds.
Next, you will need to secure the designated places using a needle and thread.
Step three: using a textile marker, you need to make various designs on the drapery. Beginners are recommended to make primitive ornaments in the form of small dots and sticks. At this stage it is worth including your imagination in your work.
Making patterns
Step four: the marker paint will need to be dried with hot air.
It should be taken into account that the hair dryer is not brought too close to the organza, otherwise it can be burned
Step five: it is also recommended to decorate the metal frame of the structure. You can use the same marker, acrylic paints, and various colored tapes for such purposes.

What is needed for making
Lightweight screen partitions, made using a wooden frame, paper or fabric, are suitable for visual zoning of a room. When using a durable screen, you can achieve functionality: install small shelves for accessories, and, if necessary, hang clothes and bags on the top of the structure.
In order for the partition screen to serve for a long time and not cause trouble, at the project planning stage you need to take care of the availability of all materials. Necessary tools for a small screen partition of 3 sections with paper and fabric filler:
- dense textiles with a width of at least 0.5 m - to fill the gap in the structure;
- paper and tea leaves for aging - calculate the number of sheets based on their size, and take at least 5 tbsp of tea leaves. l. for 3 liters of water;
- timber for the frame with a section of 4 x 4 cm – 6 pcs. 2 m long and 6 pcs. short elements (0.5 – 1 m);
- nails and screws of different sizes;
- accompanying elements: PVA glue, wood varnish, paint brush, scissors;
- construction stapler, tape measure, screwdrivers, hammer, square to determine the accuracy of the design;
- door canopies – 4 pcs. small size for fastening sections;
- braid for decorating the joints of fabric and wood.
You can do without the help of a drill, but if you have a tool, it’s easy to screw the screws into the partition screen.
Instead of wood, bamboo rods, plastic profiles or aluminum are used, but working with them is somewhat more complicated than making a screen partition from bars.
The fabric-paper web will be replaced by sheets of drywall, which can be attached to the profile with small nails and self-tapping screws.

10 secrets you didn't even know about
1. Walk through all the rooms of your house or apartment. Surely you already have interesting places, colored wallpapers. I like dark wallpaper. Thanks to dark wallpaper, the silhouette of the person himself, his skin, stands out.
2. If you don’t have lighting devices - flashes, soft boxes, then you need to find a place by the window. If the walls next to the windows are not your favorite, then you still need to clear these areas for shooting to take advantage of the daylight from the window.
3. Having chosen a place, think about the idea. You need to understand what you want to photograph.
4. First, choose your wardrobe, and then match these colors and shades with the color scheme of your photo zone. I have articles on choosing colors and shades if this step causes you difficulties.
5. Having selected all the shades, start looking for accessories for your photo zone. I recommend either looking at Avito or Aliexpress. There you can choose anything for yourself in any color and wallet size.
6. Even if there are many accessories in the photo zone, the main subject of shooting is still you or some other person. Don't let the details distract from the subject itself.
7. If you don’t mind the wall by the window, then you can paint it a single color. Choose the appropriate shade and tint it.
8. If possible, make a photo zone from real flowers.
9. If you don’t have enough light from the window, and you don’t have a flash either, then use flashlights and table lamps. They can even illuminate the wall from behind.
10. Rifle through chests and old bags in the garage, pantry, or balcony. Or go to your grandmother in the village. And you will visit your grandmother, and maybe you will dig up something extravagant in her chests. For example, I could always find something interesting in my grandmother’s attic. Spinning wheels, old cast iron irons, scarves and all sorts of utensils were stored there. In the chests one could find both ancient shoes, dresses, hats, etc.
Boca Do Lobo Avenue

“The power of color is what inspired us to create the COOLORS collection. Colors play an important role in our environment. They not only have aesthetic properties, but are capable of influencing the human psyche. Colors evoke many emotions, most of which are subjective, but some are more universal. For example, the ability of warm colors to create a feeling of comfort, or the calming effect of cool colors. By connecting color sensations in our collection, we intend to stimulate emotions that make it possible to identify ourselves with them and bring this color into our world,” Boca Do Lobo.

How to make a photo zone on the street or unusual places for photo zones
There are many ideas on how to make a photo zone with your own hands. What materials can you use to decorate a photo zone? Where else besides home can you arrange a photo zone?
You can use various materials to decorate your photo zone. If you like minimalism, then let there be one plain background, and the model’s clothes in some contrasting color. Also, if you like minimalism, then use lines. If the model has wavy hair, find something in the photo zone element that also adds wave. I myself like to make photo zones where the eye can already see, which in this place looks good even without my intervention. You just need to add a small element and the photo zone is ready. Go out into the yard, there’s probably either a colored wall or a large branchy tree there, like an oak. Earth, flowers and grass are also an excellent photo zone. And if you have a quadcopter or a stepladder, then use a green carpet strewn with flowers or greenery for your creative ideas.
If there is a small pond and a wooden boat plus a quadcopter, then feel free to put your model in the boat, launch the miracle technique and shoot. It will be especially impressive and beautiful in sunny weather, when clouds and blue sky are reflected in the water.
An excellent photo zone outside the home is shopping malls or residential complexes. Nowadays, these complexes always have one of the buildings painted brightly. You don't even need to add anything. All you need is a good idea, a perfectly chosen outfit. Yes, outfit is very important. If you have an antique Russian style, then probably a bathhouse, firewood, stove, forest, and various antique utensils are suitable for decorating a photo zone. But if you have a modern style, then choose apartment complexes with bright walls. But you can experiment. Often the best photos come out when you break all the rules in photography.
I like the way everything in nature is decorated. Especially in spring and autumn. Spring is full of awakening. Nature awakens, and with it various flowers and trees bloom. You can read about this in this article. In it I gave examples of where you can find beautiful places for photography in Moscow in the spring.
And autumn means leaf fall. Golden autumn is a gorgeous time of year, filled with amazing colors.
I hope I answered your questions about how to make a photo zone at home, on the street, for a birthday or a wedding.

Extending service life - proper care
In order for the purchased item to last as long as possible, it is necessary to provide it with proper care.
The rules are quite ordinary and not difficult to follow.
- If the model is made of wood, then it must be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use products containing chemicals or aggressive substances. The main thing is to avoid the appearance of scratches, chips and damage to the integrity of the coating.
- It is better not to let the fabric surface become heavily soiled. Try to take care of it so that you don’t have to dismantle it. To do this, systematically clean the fabric with a vacuum cleaner. If a stain appears, it should be washed off immediately with a brush. If, nevertheless, the upholstery is heavily soiled, then it should be washed in a soft mode at a temperature of 300-400C.
- If the product is decorated with wallpaper or rice paper, then during operation it is worth protecting it from moisture. Basically. Such models are not durable, since over time they will become dirty, and it will be unlikely to clean them.
By following all the rules, you can significantly extend the life of your favorite item, which will create appropriate comfort and please the eye for many years.

Giorgetti Ping
The Giorgetti Ping partition (in Chinese “ping” means “division”) is made of canaletto walnut wood with metal elements. Available with mirror and genuine leather inserts.

Pros and cons of screen partitions
The use of screen partitions for zoning space has certain pros and cons. With their help, you can isolate any part of the room without starting global construction work.
Folding screens are valued for their portability. They can be easily moved to any part of the room, changing the interior according to your mood. They perform an excellent decorative function. But they note that the functional purpose of the screen as a partition is limited. For specific zoning, stationary sliding partitions are better suited.
With the help of sliding partitions, the following goals are achieved:
- limiting wide openings;
- stable division of the room into zones, up to the creation of isolated rooms.
The main advantage of achieving this goal is the fact that such actions do not need to be coordinated with the relevant services and the relevant documents need to be drawn up. Such partitions can be made to order strictly according to the measurements provided.
The primary role is played by the mechanism used for the movement of the valves. It is he who is responsible for the softness of movement and the duration of operation. At the moment, there are two types of mechanisms:
- "harmonic";
- suspension on rollers.
The advantages of the roller mechanism include:
- selection of diameter sizes to suit the dimensions of the structure and the presence of rolling bearings. Thanks to the bearings, the structure can move easily and can withstand significant loads;
- availability of different types of roller lines. They are selected depending on the expected loads and the type of material used.
The disadvantage of this mechanism is the swinging of the lower part of the partition. To limit the process, it is necessary to set checkboxes that will limit the movement of the valves to a certain extent.
The accordion partition mechanism combines two opening systems: hinged and sliding. The sashes placed near the walls are attached by means of hinges to the braces placed on the walls. Guides are mounted on the ceiling part. The folds move along them using a roller system.
note
The disadvantages of the accordion system include their rather noisy operation. It is necessary to provide additional sound insulation.
Directly among the disadvantages of the entire sliding partition system are:
- high price of most designs. Making stationary partitions from building materials is much cheaper;
- the degree of sound insulation is insufficient;
- possibility of drafts. Especially if the installation was done incorrectly.
Boca Do Lobo Gold
The Gold screen consists of nineteen pieces of fiberglass joined together, filled with foaming polyurethane and finished in gold leaf with a high-gloss varnish. Visually, the partition looks like stones lying on the bottom of a river shimmering in the bright sun. The color gold symbolizes wealth and prosperity. Innovative yet elevated, this piece of art is designed in true Boca Do Lobo style.
