Hello everyone,
I’m currently considering how the room divider could be designed—whether it should be accessible from both sides or just one. I’m thinking of a height of about 1.40 m (4 ft 7 in).
On one side, the TV would be mounted, and on the other side, there would be a bench.
My thoughts:
I’m not sure why, but I feel that with the double-sided accessible option, when I’m watching TV, I might notice more movement in the background, which could be distracting, although it would feel more open.
With the single-sided option, I might have more possibilities for design.
Does anyone have experience with this or any opinions?
Thanks and regards!
PS: I also find the example photo interesting.

Regarding distractions while watching TV: Think carefully or consider whether the flickering of the fireplace bothers you while watching.

I also had connections for satellite and similar installed on the wall side. It’s possible that one day the partition wall could be removed, along with the dining area. The dining space could then be next to the kitchen island, as there is still a corner available there.
Would a aerated concrete wall be significantly more stable? I framed our large bed in a similar way here and built a wooden shelf on top. It is very sturdy, possibly also due to the small double bend, but you could initially try it without that or, if necessary, reinforce it by attaching it to the ceiling. This wall as a partition between the living room and dining room could be a permanent solution for me, and your sofa could even be placed there if you want to position the TV on the opposite wall.
As you said, I would also find visual clutter in the line of sight uncomfortable, and I would prefer to place the TV on a low cabinet or any low-lying surface rather than mounting it on a wall.
The loose version shown in the picture is anchored both to the floor and the ceiling, so it cannot be moved freely or only with additional work.
But... that is just my OPINION—

The problem with placing the sofa against a room divider is that it’s difficult to watch the fireplace, since you always have to look to the left. The other way around is more comfortable.

Why shouldn't the fireplace and TV be used at the same time?Of course, they can be used at the same time... but if the TV is placed on a room divider, the view of the fireplace, as mentioned, is more pleasant.
We have an open room divider like this. It’s unfortunately not completely finished yet. There is still a row of shelves missing at the top, and the radiators (if you look closely, you can see them below the lowest shelf) will be covered with slats... But maybe this will still help you.
