half wall
Partial room divider
A half wall is a wall that extends only partway from floor to ceiling, typically waist-high or chest-high.
Half walls divide spaces while maintaining openness and light: The kitchen was separated from the living room by a half wall.
They often appear around staircases, between rooms, or as pony walls supporting countertops.
