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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-feu-fires) 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.
