Installing Shoji in a Passway "...Everyone who sees them comments positively on them and we are very pleased.  Dealing with your company was in every way a great experience.  Thank you again." Hallway BEFORE shoji Hallway AFTER shoji Shoji specification: Insert:  Shantung, frost Grid:  D-16 Wood/Fin:  Ramin - clear Interior design:  S.  Patton Looking for an elegant way to close off a passway between rooms?  Shoji panels are a natural room divider.  Grid patterns on both sides of the door make it equally attractive from either side and still allow natural light into the hallway beyond. In addition, the horizontal grid design on these panels draw the eye across the opening, making it appear wider and more spacious in this tight space. A lighter wood color also make the panels appear larger than they are, as well as complements the hardwood floor/baseboard, and furniture. By matching these key elements, the shoji look like they have always been there and give the room a finished look. Thoughtful details like side trim over the baseboard covers the gap to the wall, without having to cut the baseboard. The opening is left perfectly intact should you wish to take down the shoji in the future. Finally, an added benefit is better climate control within the home -- being able to close off the room makes it less expensive to heat/cool.

Design Shoji panels selected for the This Old House® Cambridge Project. Shoji panels in a contemporary home? Interior designer Todd Tsiang chose them for the recent This Old House project in Cambridge, Massachusetts, currently featured on the popular PBS series This Old House®. 10 long transom windows, ranging from 19" to 13' long, were covered by ebonywash-stained shoji panels with a textured polyester resin insert. Jarrah wood was chosen to withstand possible condensation concerns in these windows, and a minimum of grid was used to keep the treatment as simple as possible. An excellent insulator, the shoji panels solved the client's need for complete privacy while subtly enhancing the sleek, clean lines of the minimalist style interiors. Japanese Design Visit www.gullixson.com, The Ellison Atherton Estate for photos of this unique Japanese-style estate we built shoji for in 1988.
