Metal mesh’s rise in popularity for interior design may be due to the increased desire for flexible, modular walls without drywall, paint or wallpaper. It is an amazingly versatile material which lends itself to a whole range of applications for room or area separation, decorative columns, walls allowing HVAC flow, staircase enclosures of lift shafts or simply as an accent. Different types of mesh, surface textures and lighting make it possible to alter the aspect of the material so that depending on the angle of viewing the selected meshes can alter from translucent to opaque in an instant.
