All great ideas. Now can anyone point me in the direction of how to make free standing folding screens? I currently live/share the family room of my son's home. It is a huge rec room type. Anyway, I think a design wall would be a big hassle unless I can fold it out of the way and it is not permanent. I hope to find a place and get moved by late summer. Anyway I am thinking a folding screen would work --one side design wall and the other a neutral place. This would also help with heating this huge space, by deflecting heat back into the used area of the room.

Great idea on the folding screen .... the neutral side could be done to match the decor of the room and/or be changed seasonally. Then later, you could have it as a double sided design wall.

Believe me ... you never have a design wall big enough!!!
(says she with a 10 ft x 7-1/2 ft! ... yes I could have it bigger and be happier!)

Love that idea!

I use the floor of my living room, which we never use and I can let my quilt lay there for days if I need to.

I just used pvc pipe and curtain rod hooks up at the ceiling. i didnt have felt but pinned a queen size sheet to it and pin my fabric to it when I need to layout. then when I am done I roll it up and leave it on the hooks out of the way

Here is a picture of a friend that used a roll up shade and using spray adhesive put a thick pad that you buy for very nice wood tables under the table cloth... this roller is 96" wide and cost less than $20 at Home depot my granddaughter bought one that goes over her closet door...

I went to the $$ store and bought two flannel backed table cloths. I have a "redneck wall bed' that I designed. When the bed is up the table cloths wrap the box spring. It's just great...and so easy to take down when we have company and drop the bed off the wall. Cheap*cheap* said the baby chick...LOL
