This fireplace wall room divider has been designed by Toronto-based interior design company Cecconi Simone as a clever solution that works to break up an open-concept living space to allow for multiple purposes. The strikingly dark fireplace is positioned in the middle of the space, and acts as both a physical and visual divider that creates division between the living room and dining room. The lower section is integrated with the aforementioned fireplace that creates a touch of warmth and has an open-style design to allow for a touch of airiness.
The fireplace wall room divider is paired with a TV mounted on it on the living room side to also help make it as functional as possible from an everyday perspective.
