Hi everyone, I am changing the flooring on the main floor and want to take care of the half wall between the entrance and the living room. The question is do I remove the whole partition or just the angled part, leaving a straight piece for some separation and a small bench?

I am planning to have 2 armchairs on the living room side and a small bench on an entrance side ( like back to back). If I remove the wall completely they will show through....
