Many people in the world today still follow their old traditions. Traditions as we know dont change as quickly as fashions do, thus people want things to be done according to their old ways. These kind of people love the things which are related to their traditions.
Traditional room dividers are the exact choice for these kind of people as these reflect glimpses of traditions which they follow. For example a 4-panel dark wood room divider screen is one of the oldest form of room divider screens but yet people use them because they are more traditional in nature.
