We always enjoy designing interiors that are open, pleasant, and comfortable. However, dividing living spaces with walls is no longer in style. Nowadays, the trend is towards large, open living areas, potentially enhanced with a custom interior screen.
What is the definition of an interior screen? An interior screen is essentially a lightweight, perforated partition. It’s an ideal solution when a home is limited by space or natural light.
Incorporating a custom interior screen into your design offers many benefits. It defines spaces without fully enclosing them, while maintaining a sense of flow and brightness throughout the room. Unlike a traditional wall, a claustra allows light and air to pass through, creating a more open and airy atmosphere.
Moreover, being custom-made, it perfectly adapts to the dimensions and style of the space. It adds a unique aesthetic touch that can harmonize with existing furniture and décor. A custom interior screen can also serve as a decorative element, bringing character through carefully chosen patterns or materials. Finally, it provides a certain level of privacy while remaining light and discreet, making it an ideal choice for structuring a modern, functional interior.
At JOA, we especially enjoy incorporating custom interior screens into our designs. Here are some of our favorite claustra models.
The Canva custom-made interior screen
Our Canva claustra style stands out for its use of perforated patterned panels, offering a solution that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for interior design.
Originally designed for our custom staircase structures, the Canva style has won over many clients over the years. That’s why we gradually integrated it into our furniture, allowing its design to enhance a graphic custom interior screen.
Once integrated into our furniture, this interior screen creates visual harmony while adding character to the space. The pattern, random and adjustable, can be denser or more open depending on your needs, allowing you to play with light and shadows to create a unique atmosphere.
Thanks to this flexibility, the Canva claustra becomes a key decorative element, adding an artistic dimension while maintaining the functionality of the furniture it elegantly enhances.
A suspended screen
Another model of custom interior screen is the suspended claustra, which brings a new, airy dimension to your space.
This innovative concept involves integrating metal ceiling suspensions that support steel or wooden panels, creating a fully suspended module. Lightweight and minimalist, this solution fits perfectly in areas where maximum openness and light are desired. The suspended claustra becomes a true decorative asset, emphasizing verticality and offering an original perspective within the room.
The advantage of this model also lies in its customization. The shelves can be decorated according to your tastes and needs, whether with artworks, plants, or books, adding a personal touch to the overall design. The mix of materials, combining the metal structure with wooden or steel shelves, enhances its modern aesthetic. These shelves can be positioned at varying heights and lengths, arranged randomly to create a more dynamic effect.
Beyond its innovative design, this custom interior screen creates a unique visual dynamic. Each element seems to float, contributing to an elegant and refined atmosphere.
Integrating this suspended module allows for subtle space division without creating overly imposing visual or physical barriers. Thanks to its suspended structure, it frees up floor space—an advantage in smaller interiors or when you want to maintain smooth circulation throughout the room.
A custom-made interior screen combined with a bookcase
Rather than being just a storage unit, this custom interior screen becomes a central element of your interior layout. By creating a subtle separation between two areas, it allows you to structure your space without blocking natural light, which is essential for maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.
Incorporating curves into our bookshelf design adds a unique dimension to the space. These rounded shapes not only enhance aesthetics but also improve the interior’s ergonomics. They facilitate movement, avoiding sharp or rigid angles that can create uncomfortable passage areas. Thanks to these curves, transitions between different zones are smoother and more natural, promoting fluid circulation that enhances the overall spatial experience.
Our bookshelf structure is designed by combining wooden shelves with metal supports. This choice preserves a sense of visual lightness while ensuring the furniture’s strength. The contrast between the warmth of the wood and the more industrial look of the metal creates an aesthetic balance.
As a result, this piece adapts to a wide variety of décor styles, whether modern, minimalist, or more traditional. The wood adds a touch of warmth and authenticity, while the metal provides a stable and contemporary structure.
One of the advantages of this custom interior claustra lies in the ability to play with solid and open volumes. The open sections allow light to pass through, showcasing your books or decorative objects. These spaces can also create visual focal points while maintaining transparency, avoiding a cluttered look. Meanwhile, the closed volumes provide discreet storage for items you prefer to keep out of sight.
