I need a furniture thing and i'm not sure what it is. It's for a lower ground floor in a mid terrace. Door opens into the r/h corner of a living room which is then open through to the kitchen. I want to partially divide the room to create a sort of separated entrance hallway area which so I can put a sofa the other side of it at 90 degrees to the door. The fireplace, stereo and TV which are on the wall to the left as you come in. At present there's no way of pointing furniture at the fireplace etc without them feeling a bit lost in the middle room with the front door lurking uncomfortably behind you. Does that make sense?
Initially thought something constructed to full height, possibly involving glass brick. Then I thought something less permanent in the guise of room divider. Now i'm thinking perhaps just nice open/double sided bookcase would do it. Doesn't really need to be much higher than the head height of someone seated on the sofa the other side of it in order to create that sense of separation and a more cosy vibe on the other side.
Rest of the furniture is a mix of mid century (natch) and odds and sods. Anyone seen anything that would fit the bill?
