A popular interior show piece is becoming the retractable glass room divider. It offers clear glass views when closed but can also be fully retractable which offers unique practicality. Sliding doors, etched glass, decorative screens and even different colour ideas are used on the walls of the dividers for privacy or simply decoration. The average dimensions for a divider are 43 inches in length, 16 inches in depth and 98 inches in height. The dimensions for your replacement or initial garden glass rooms vary from this, but can normally be found at local retailers in many sizes for different prices.

Garden Glass Rooms can be made to order through many retailers or can be ordered special from manufacturers. The average divider can be used in any room as a means of adding dimension and depth to a room or for privacy. For privacy, it is best to use opaque colours on the screens or to use etched or garden glass on the entire divider. This causes the eye not to be able to see through the glass or screens and therefore adds privacy. The room divider can be used in the centre of a room, close to a corner or near a door. To cover flaws in the walls or floors in an area, you can always place the dividers near these areas to bring attention to the divider instead of the flaw.

If you are going to use a room in a light coloured room, it is best to look at the other colours in your decor. If you have many colours in the decorations of the room, you should look for the colour you see the least in the room to use as a base colour for the divider. This will cause the base colour on the divider and the little-seen colour in the decor to pop and have more attention. This opens up new doors in decorating as well, as you can always add wall coverings or window treatments to bring the new colour to the forefront. If you are using the divider in a white, yellow, light blue or even peach room, it is best to use a darker colour to contrast the decor. Darker colours will also help to add depth to a room and will give more privacy in opaque screens and panels.

If you are going to use garden glass rooms in a dark coloured room, use the colour wheel to find a complimentary colour to go with the room’s decor. For blue rooms, it is best to use orange hues to cause a complimentary colour scheme. When using a divider in a red room, use a green hue to match this well and cause the colours to pop. For purple rooms of any hue, contrasts with yellow hues and for black rooms, white accents are always a classic choice.When the frameless glass doors are fully closed, there is no visual interruption or perceptible loss of light (unless you choose tinted glass) yet draughts and noise are reduced. The absence of frames means that this type of room divider can be fitted comfortably in any environment, from period homes to state-of-the-art futuristic design.
