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.

How wide is it from the fireplace to the opposite wall?I’m on the go, my son just measured it; it should be 4.87 meters (16 feet) — that’s 2.80 meters (9 feet 2 inches) for the wall and about 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) width on each side? (hope he measured correctly)

And consider what to do about the fire protection around the fireplace. You don’t want to block the passage with a tripping hazard like a glass plate placed on top.I’m getting tiles everywhere on the ground floor. Do I still need a glass plate then?

pagoni20201 Jul 2020 14:49I would definitely go for the double-sided version, but I might have a correspondingly tall Ytong wall or something similar built. I’m not sure exactly how you want to carry it out, but if you want such an open solution, you’ll need to consider many things like cables, possibly TV furniture, etc., and it will probably never be as solid as a masonry wall, especially since someone is supposed to sit on the other side.
You don’t yet know for sure if the fireplace will actually be installed there, right? If yes, you should carefully test the distances to see what feels comfortable for you.
I understand your concern about disturbances caused by movement, so maybe a solid wall about 140cm (55 inches) high would work better, which you can design freely on the other side. Maybe the wall needs a small 90-degree bend on the side for stability, which would frame your TV area on the side while keeping the top and both sides open. We built something similar in our bedroom.
I just read that you want the wall to remain flexible... but with cables, connections, sofa, etc., you won’t really be able to keep it flexible—and why would you want to?

It might be possible one day to remove the partition wall again, along with the dining area. The dining area could then be next to the kitchen island, as there is still a corner available there.
Would a cellular concrete wall be significantly more stable?
