Kind of partition

Hi

It's difficult for me to phrase this question. It's related to a design in a house, a kind of partition.

Could you please look at the picture and tell me what we call this kind of (wall) partition (the one that separates the girl at the table from her father) in English? It's very common in houses in Pakistan and India.

Thanks,

Tom

I don't see what you are referring to, but "room divider" or partition are words for portable and movable walls. A room divider is usually hinged, but it can be a hanging beaded curtain.

The area set off from the rest of the room can be referred to by several different names. Because of the table in that picture, I would add the word "dining" to each of these possibilities, as shown below. I list them in order of least likely to most likely to be said.

cove: a recessed place; an architectural member with a concave cross section
(dining cove)
bay: an area
