Make an opening without a door. Doorway design: secrets of harmonious design

The name “doorway”, first of all, implies a structure for installing the door leaf. But the presence of an interior door is not always appropriate and practical, which may be due to both the layout features and the limited size of the rooms.

In such cases, this element, turning into an independent interior detail, It fully deserves that homeowners pay due attention to its decoration.

What is this interior element?

This is an open opening that provides free communication between adjacent rooms of residential apartments.

The absence of a door in this design allows you to save up to 1 m2 of space, give the opening different shapes and sizes, as well as visually expand the space and erase the boundary between rooms, combining them into a single ensemble.

Forms

Theoretically, the door the opening can be given any shape(even round), but here you should take into account how functional this or that design will be.

The best thing give preference to one of the most common options, such as:

The arches themselves can also be various shapes:

• ellipsoid;
• rounded;
• trapezoidal;
• asymmetrical (having an oblique slope on one side).

Design options

Modern Design Ideas include several methods decorating the opening. Some of them will be discussed below.

Artificial stone finishing

This material is most often used for finishing cafes, shops and other public places, but in some cases it is quite looks appropriate as a cladding doorways residential apartments.

Finishing with decorative stone is suitable for:

• spacious premises;
• rooms with little furniture;
• giving the room a certain design style;
• masking wall flaws.

In order for the artificial stone to harmonize as much as possible with the interior, you need follow some rules.

When facing a rectangular doorway the lower part of the masonry should be wider, than above (see photo). This technique will allow you to smoothly move on to finishing the walls. When decorating an arched opening, the top of the structure is fully decorated, which will highlight its rounded shape.

Doorway trim must be done from all sides, not excluding the slopes themselves. This will simplify the task of decorating the walls and ceiling in combination with stone.

Laminate

You can decorate interior doorways and arches with laminate - this budget and relatively simple decor. One of the main advantages of this cladding option is the ease of processing the material, which allows you to give it almost any shape.

The sheets are installed either on the frame or by gluing them directly to the surface of the opening. Frame mounting method suitable for wide openings, since installing the sheathing entails a reduction in space.

MDF panels

A suitable option for decorating slopes “like wood”. Front side of the material may have different coatings(veneer, PVC, eco-veneer), any of which gives the panels an external resemblance to valuable wood.

DIY cladding

Let's look at finishing a doorway using MDF panels as an example. Cheat MDF slopes panels possible in two ways, with glue or using lathing.

Cladding using glue consists of the following steps:

1. If the base is a “bare” brick or concrete surface, it is finished with plywood or MDF, which secured to the wall with dowels.
2. Next, the panels are marked and cut to size.
3. The back side is lubricated with “liquid nails” glue, which applied in a zigzag stripe.
   The material is applied to the base, and after 5–10 minutes the surface is tapped with a rubber hammer.

Fastening the panels to the sheathing, although characteristically different from the previous process, but it’s also not complicated:

1. In the doorway install the frame from wooden slats or metal profile, fixing them to the surface using dowels.
2. At the top and bottom of the frame with self-tapping screws attach the starting guides. Fragments of cladding cut to size are inserted into them and secured to the frame using the same self-tapping screws.
3. Upon completion of installation of panels along the outer perimeter of the opening install cashing.

Watch a video lesson about decorating a doorway:

It is clear from everything that the finishing of the opening is complete and, moreover, responsible procedure for registration of residential premises. With the right approach, this element will become a quality addition to the interior of any style.

Exist various options doorway finishing. They help to obtain a harmonious and stylish design premises. It must be taken into account that these designs are divided into two types, which depend on the presence or absence of a door leaf. It is this element that determines the sequence of activities carried out in order to obtain the desired effect.

Methods for lining openings without door panels

There are two main options for finishing a doorway without a door:

1. Standard. This technology involves lining openings various materials, without changing the design.
2. Arched. This method involves changing the configuration of the opening - significantly or slightly.

Each method requires compliance with certain rules, as well as accuracy.

Various types of materials for standard finishing

To design a doorway without a door, finishing products are used that have different technological features.

PVC panels

This option is one of the most popular. This is facilitated by the fact that such products have excellent characteristics and are also very affordable. For installation, the glue-on method is often used. The panels are mainly used to cover slopes. Other parts of the doorway are finished with other materials.

On a note! PVC products require careful selection. To create a coating that will look harmonious in the interior, you should give preference to varieties made as imitation of natural materials.

Everything is done as follows:

Requires leaving the structure for a while to avoid displacement of elements. Now we begin to eliminate the external joints. If you cover them with plastic corners, as is done when covering windows, you may get a not very attractive effect. Therefore, it is better to putty with putty. Then you can begin the subsequent finishing. For this purpose, painting and wallpapering are carried out.

You should know! There are plastic trims that combine well with PVC panels. But pruning them is a very labor-intensive task. The fact is that it is necessary to adjust the elements at an angle of 90 degrees.

The best replacement for PVC would be MDF panels. Finishing openings with this material goes well with other products. If it is necessary to cladding structures using this method in order to prevent the formation of visible joints, lamination is used.

Cladding the door slope using MDF

Stucco molding

It is immediately worth noting that stucco molding is currently used, which is made from polyurethane. Unlike gypsum options, this type of product is characterized by low weight. Its installation can be performed without the involvement of additional assistants. Important feature What makes this material so special is that it can be processed further. That is, it is easy to paint in different colors.

The finishing of the opening is carried out according to a certain scheme:

• All parts and glue are pre-conditioned in the room where installation will take place for 24 hours. This will ensure that all elements get used to the existing microclimate.
• The areas that will be pasted over are carefully coated with primer. Only compositions that have a deep penetrating effect are selected.
  

  Important! It should be remembered that the stucco sticker is done first. Only after this can general finishing of the walls be carried out.

• The surfaces of the products are slightly rubbed with sandpaper. Next, glue is applied. It is evenly distributed along the wrong side of the fragments. Now the stucco molding is applied to the selected area and pressed well. To prevent the elements from slipping, small screws are screwed under them.
• If excess glue appears, it is removed immediately. When this cannot be done immediately, you can use acetone, which is used to moisten a sponge.
• An important point is the joining of elements. It can be carried out at a right angle (perpendicular installation), or trimming can be performed, which is done at an angle of 45 degrees.
• After cladding, joints appear. They are hidden using putty, which, after drying, is rubbed down with sandpaper. Particular care should be taken when finishing between rooms, because it is necessary to provide for the location of parts on both sides.

Decorating a doorway with stucco requires some nuances. This option is most suitable for rooms that have fairly high ceilings. If you use it for small rooms

, then it is advisable to carefully consider the location of all elements. The fact is that it is quite easy to overload a room so that the interior becomes simply ruined.

Fake diamond

The use of artificial stone is an excellent solution that helps to decorate a doorway without a door in a very stylish and modern way. This option is superior to similar products due to the fact that the material is produced in a wide decorative range. For example, clinker tiles are also used for cladding such structures, but their choice is quite limited.

On a note! It should be borne in mind that the concept “artificial” does not detract from the merits of this product. The imitation is carried out with excellent accuracy. The texture and shades of natural stones are repeated. Doorway trim

Before decorating a doorway without a door with decorative stone, you should familiarize yourself with its advantages. The following advantages of the material are highlighted:

• Great appearance, which brings presentability to the interior.
• Possibility of combination with other finishing materials.
• Excellent resistance to mechanical stress.
• Durability. The service life is calculated in decades.

For work, small-sized products are used that have some relief. If you choose a deeper texture, it will look very bulky.

Cladding is carried out using various technologies. Often laying is done in a way that allows for uneven edges to be formed.

On a note! Currently, special elements have been developed that act as corner pads. They allow you to avoid unnecessary pruning.

Making the opening is quite simple:

1. Marking is carried out in selected areas. It should repeat the developed scheme. To carry out this process most accurately, the stone is laid out on the floor in a given order.
2. Wall surfaces are treated with primers that have deep penetration. This will improve adhesion. It is important to let all areas dry thoroughly.
3. Fixation can be carried out using special tile adhesive or “liquid nails”. The second option is suitable for cases where the base has almost perfect evenness.
4. The composition is applied to the reverse side of the elements. It is important to remove any excess.
5. The stone is laid in ways that make it possible to form a seam or make do with a monolithic surface (without joints).
6. The parts settle into place and press together. It is important to achieve good grip.
7. If joints have been formed, they are rubbed down. The color of the mixture can be contrasting or monochromatic.

If the question arises: what is the best way to decorate a doorway that does not have doors, the first thing to consider is options that include artificial stone, decorative brick and clinker.

Plaster

IN Lately This type of material has noticeably fallen in popularity. But just recently, about ten years ago, this method seemed to be the most accessible. It's safe to say that many people simply underestimate plaster. Indeed, this option has several significant disadvantages - labor-intensive application (in the absence of experience) and the presence of a certain amount of “dirt”. But if you do all the work correctly, and also achieve a combination with other products, the effect will be pleasantly surprising.

How to decorate a doorway without a door by plastering:

1. In preparation required amount mixtures. The solution made should be in such quantity that it is enough for 30-45 minutes of work.
2. The mixture is applied to the surface by casting. Leveling occurs using a rule or a wide spatula.
3. If required, beacons and perforated profile guides are installed.
4. When the mortar layer exceeds 1-1.5 cm, a reinforcing mesh is laid.

This surface can be painted. But it’s better if the plaster serves as the starting composition. Then finishing decorative (textured) putty may act.

It is applied in a certain order, which allows you to get an amazing coating. Such doorways will decorate the interior. Decorative plaster

Arch device

An arch can transform an interior. It is important to understand that a device of this design requires some experience. After all, to decorate a doorway exclusively with your own hands, you will need to spend a lot of effort.

You should know! There are standard-sized arches that are completely ready for installation. They just need to be carefully installed.

Doorway in the form of an arch

1. The easiest way to make arches is made of plasterboard. It looks like this:
2. Finishing doorways begins with installing a frame on both sides. It is fixed on the upper horizontal and vertical posts. On the latter, it has a size that is almost equal to the end of the rounding.
3. GCR parts are attached to the frame. An arc is pre-cut on them; a stencil is made for this.
4. Additional lathing is performed inside the resulting structure. It serves to fasten the last arcuate plasterboard element.

The final finishing is done with putty. Decorative cladding is made using various materials.

The arch can be made using more “noble” products, but will require more skill.

Other design methods

The design of doorways can be done using other methods. They involve the use of decorative curtains or screens. This method is very affordable and simple. In addition, it does not require virtually any work.

1. Fabric curtains.
2. They will be a great addition to any interior. The composition should be composed in such a way that there is harmony with other elements and combination with window decoration. Bamboo curtains.

What can be done with an opening equipped with a door Deciding how to make a doorway that has a door leaf involves using the most simple options

. The only difference is where this structure is located.

Simple arrangement of interior space The most affordable option for finishing interior openings is the installation of a frame and adjacent elements. General technology

• is this:
• The box is installed. It can be equipped with a threshold or without it.
• Extensions are used as materials that will line the slopes. They are available in standard sizes (up to 120-150 mm).
• These elements are attached using a groove on the box. If such a design feature is not provided, then fixation is performed using self-tapping screws. The hole for them is drilled through the end of the part.

External finishing is done using platbands that frame the opening.

This option is great for situations where you need to cladding not very wide structures.

Other options How to decorate a doorway that has a door in a more original way? In fact, to truly create interesting option , you need to try. The fact is that it is the hanging canvas that limits the use of different materials. Improper use of finishing products prevents opening. Although, if you consider this feature , then for exterior finishing

Almost everything fits.

On a note! There is a sliding way to open the door. That is, the canvases repeat the design of compartment doors. This is a rather interesting technological solution that requires a more careful selection of facing products.

How to finish a doorway? This question has many answers, which depend on the specific situation. But no matter what anyone advises, you still need to listen to your heart and choose the option that will be closest to you. When all are carried out independently, then the processes of door cladding are done by hand. Many materials allow you to update the door leaf very cheaply and at the same time with high quality and for a long time. Some of the most popular materials are self-adhesive wallpaper and film. Today I will tell you how to glue doors yourself and what properties and advantages the materials used to create openings have.

Advantages of film and its gluing to surfaces

Representing polymer material, self-adhesive film consists of PVC on back side which the adhesive is applied. It is because of this that the film received its name and became very popular for use on many surfaces. Before you cover your doors with film, you should know all the advantages:

• With some strength and wear resistance, the film can withstand minor mechanical damage and scratches
• The film can not only decorate the door, but also renew it after a long period of use.
• Easy installation allows you to do all the work yourself
• Convenience of choice – thanks to various textured or color solutions you can choose the materials used for door cladding in any interior design
• With its help they hide minor defects that may have doors
• The film is very easy to care for - just wipe it with a damp cloth
• Does not change color when exposed to ultraviolet rays
• It has moisture-resistant properties - thanks to this it can be used not only for interior doors, but also for surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom
• Low cost of self-adhesive materials - thanks to this, the film has become universally available
• Does not damage the base

Since at that time I was living in a rented apartment and did not plan to be there long time, there was simply no point in purchasing new doors or kitchen furniture. But I still wanted to improve the external condition, and so I decided to update the surfaces using this self-adhesive film. In order to glue the door leaf with your own hands, you should stock up on the following materials:

1. Ruler, meter and pencil - they are used to take the necessary measurements
2. Scissors or a stationery knife - allows you to cut the self-adhesive material into the necessary pieces
3. Soft spatula – used for smoothing during veneering
4. Hairdryer - helps to shape corners and protrusions on the surface

Updating a doorway is very simple and just follow this sequence:

• The door, like any other surface, should be prepared. The base should not have greasy stains or be dirty. It is also necessary to remove all roughness and burrs. But if you decide to update the varnished canvas, then everything is simple, just smooth out all the unevenness using fine-grained sandpaper
• When the materials are purchased, the surface is prepared, all that remains is to apply the film. The necessary markings are easy to apply to the film thanks to the markings on the reverse side. Subsequently, the materials are glued to wooden and other surfaces and smoothed with a soft spatula.

Important! If bubbles remain after finishing with self-adhesive film, you need to pierce them with a small needle and smooth out the swelling.

Wallpaper in the design of the opening

Wallpaper in the design of the opening

Very often wallpaper is used to decorate a doorway. They can be used to highlight a passage or, conversely, to hide this place and make it less noticeable.

Paper wallpaper is suitable for lining openings, however, although it is resistant to moisture, it still has short term services. Therefore, it is better to decorate surfaces with such wallpaper for temporary use. Wallpaper tends to fade under sun rays and therefore they soon lose their attractive appearance. But if the pasting is done with acrylic wallpaper, then the service life will increase significantly, and the surface will “breathe”. The design will be similar to vinyl, but unfortunately, less durable.

Important! There are also self-adhesive wallpapers; they can be used for covering various substrates. However, self-adhesive wallpaper is not so popular due to its low strength.

If you want a quality upgrade wooden surfaces wallpaper, then choose vinyl materials. They are more durable, moisture resistant and have a huge number of tint solutions. You can even choose a picture printed on vinyl trellises and thereby perfectly decorate the partition between rooms.

Varnish for decorating old substrates

Very often in order to update old wooden doors They do not use self-adhesive films, but varnish coating. Wooden canvases lose their attractiveness over time, dry out and require renewal. If you decide to varnish, then carefully prepare the surface and select the mixture.

Using varnish is a labor-intensive process, but it can transform old wood into a work of art. With the help of such impregnations, even nondescript pine can become like an expensive type of wood. You should not save when purchasing varnish - only high-quality material will exceed your expectations. Varnish should be coated with at least 4-5 layers. Before applying each subsequent layer, you need to sand and polish the previous one.

For independent work stock up on the following tools:

1. Wood varnish
2. Roller and brush for hard-to-reach places
3. Rag and spatula along with putty
4. Construction hair dryer
5. Sandpaper of different grits

Before varnishing, you should prepare the base and remove the old layer of paint from it. After that, all irregularities are sanded and covered with putty. Before applying varnish, the surfaces should be treated with various impregnations that will protect them from mold and bark beetles. If you want to reduce the amount of varnish consumed, then prime the base, which will not only improve adhesion, but also reduce the consumption of the mixture.

Results

The use of self-adhesive film is in great demand when updating old surfaces and bases. Due to the huge number of advantages, the film can be used even in rooms with high humidity. However, before use, you should be aware of several disadvantages that this material has: if the work was done poorly, then over time the canvas will begin to move away from the base; preliminary preparation is necessary for the film, since the material cannot hide large flaws. The film can only be used once and after its dismantling it becomes unusable. Consider all the little things in advance and only then start decorating with your own hands.

Interior doors are the most advanced option for zoning living space, ensuring the proper level of privacy for family members. If privacy is not required, zoning functions are assigned to the doorway without a door.

The absence of a door leaf is compensated by a slight increase in usable living space, more convenient options for placing furniture, and improvement of the interior, which is especially important when operating small-sized housing. Finishing a doorway without a door in a certain style is done taking into account design recommendations.

Doorless openings: design and installation features

The arrangement of such a structure involves the complete dismantling of the door frame, as well as the choice of the shape, size and decor of the opening in accordance with the interior of the adjacent rooms. The classic shape of the opening is a rectangle. The choice of arched structure is determined by the height of the ceilings, structural features load-bearing walls and unloaded partitions.

Typically basic and decorative finishing An opening without a door prepared for modernization is made using the following materials:

• Panel plastics;
• Polyurethane stucco;
• Natural or artificial decorative stone.

Additional decoration of openings is realized using screens and curtains. When choosing, materials that are easy to install and maintain and that do not lose their characteristics throughout their entire service life are popular.

Advantages of open openings

Swing and sliding interior doors are important elements interior decoration. On the other hand, they take up a lot of space, so small apartments arranging a doorway without a door is justified in all respects.

Open openings create a visual effect of increasing the volume of connected rooms, help improve ventilation and improve the layout of the interior decoration. Doorways without a door are appropriate for connecting a living space with an insulated balcony space. The expended effort and material resources help to fully or partially compensate for the shortcomings of the standard layout of city apartments, as well as standard projects private houses of country and cottage type. An exception is the free layout of housing, which provides for arbitrary placement interior walls and partitions.

A characteristic feature of finishing a doorway without a door is the moderate cost of the materials used and the ability to master the entire scope of work with your own hands. The total cost of such finishing is lower than the price of the door and the cost of its professional installation.

A doorway without a door will be the optimal solution for the interior. As you can see from the photo in our article, such finishing can be implemented in any interior of any room. The owner of a house or apartment can complete all the work himself with a moderate investment of time and money.

Installation of slopes and plasterboard arches

A budget option for decorating a doorway without doors is based on the use of plasterboard:

• The material is easily processed with ordinary tools;
• The even and smooth surface of the panels reduces the amount of preparatory work to a minimum;
• The reverse side of the material is characterized by excellent adhesion to gypsum polymer adhesives;
• Moderate 20 year life plasterboard structures compensated by their affordable cost, simple installation, and a wide selection of surface decor.

To fasten the cladding of the arched structure, a frame is mounted from a mounting beam or a metal profile. For finishing surfaces with complex configurations, a thinner and lightweight ceiling plasterboard, which differs from wall plasterboard in increased flexibility.

The use of moisture-resistant putty and connecting reinforcing tape greatly simplifies the sealing of installation seams. When choosing putty, you should consider that acrylic compositions They are characterized by high strength, while gypsum ones are easily sanded. This is especially important for paint and varnish decoration.

Decorating the opening with plastic

When designing doorways without doors, plastic panels are actively used. The offered range includes materials that perfectly imitate the appearance and texture of valuable wood, natural stone and other, more expensive materials.

The plastic decor of a doorway without the use of a door must match the wall in color, pattern, contrast and surface texture decorative coating. Using the right combination These characteristics make it easy to visually increase the size of the opening and ceilings.

Self-installation of plastic cladding does not require professional qualifications. If they have certain skills, home craftsmen perform all the work on their own.

Advantages of polyurethane stucco molding

Polyurethane stucco molding can also be used to decorate the opening. For small-sized housing, materials with low-relief patterns are recommended. The choice of volumetric stucco molding is justified when decorating rooms with high ceilings.

Polyurethane surface is compatible with most paint coatings, That's why decorative design For openings without doors, artificial stucco has great potential. The material is securely fixed with a special glue, the minimum weight does not load the wall of the opening, moderate heat resistance is compensated by the presence of fire retardant additives.

Features of finishing the opening with stone

The most beautiful and durable finishing decor is natural stone. The material is characterized by unique wear resistance, looks great in daylight and artificial light, and is fully accessible for adhesive installation.

The limited service life of artificial decorative stone is compensated by its light weight, affordable cost, wide selection of color and texture options, including perfect imitation natural materials. It’s quite simple to decorate a doorway without an interior door with artificial stone yourself. This is facilitated by the excellent adhesion of the material to cement-polymer adhesives.

Options for laying stone cladding of the opening

In the first option, an edging with smooth edges is laid out; in the second, it is proposed to create a “torn edge” that is original in perception, consisting of fragments of stone laid out in a natural appearance. Before installing the stone cladding, a doorway without a door requires leveling and cleaning of remnants of the previous decor. To improve adhesion, the surface is primed with solutions compatible with the mounting adhesive.

The list of design ideas for finishing the opening includes the option of cladding with clinker materials that successfully imitate the appearance of natural stone or ancient masonry. Clinker is characterized by very high wear resistance and preservation of its original appearance throughout its service life.

Criteria for choosing classic and arched opening design

According to designers, arched structures provide more opportunities for improvement visual perception interior interior. The creation of arches is justified in rooms with narrow corridors, since not only the interior design is improved, but also the comfort of using the premises.

In housing with standard ceilings, slightly rounded arches look great. The corner radius of such structures exceeds the width of the doorway by slightly more than half. Gentle arches go well with different styles interior, visually increase the height of the ceilings.

To design openings in a house with high ceilings, classic arches are recommended, in a non-standard version - trapezoidal, elliptical or original asymmetrical. For example, for a doorway without a door connecting the corridor and the living room, the choice of a design with slopes that imitate the appearance of semi-columns is justified.

Empire and Baroque styles look great in spacious rooms, but the presence large quantity decorative elements in small houses and apartments reduces the advantages of these styles to a minimum.

Designers are advised to give preference to symmetrical structures, decorated with low-relief polyurethane stucco molding or plaster relief overlays installed in the upper part of the opening.

The desire to make an arched structure on your own can be realized by purchasing an arched blank or mastering the skills of working with plasterboard panels.

What restrictions exist when arranging openings?

In some types of block walls and partitions, door frames are used as load-bearing elements. Dismantling the door frame can cause subsidence and the formation of cracks in the wall, so such openings should first be reinforced with a load-bearing frame.

Such a design will ensure uniform distribution of the load on the walls, which inevitably appears when openings are decorated with stone or finishing materials of similar weight.

In addition, you should think about the environmental friendliness of cheap plastic panels and the heat resistance of polyurethane finishing materials. The problem is solved by using high-quality branded plastic panels and polyurethane products with a high content of fire retardant additives.

One of the main elements of the interior is the doorway, the design of which requires compliance with certain mandatory requirements. First of all, this relates to the proportionality of its dimensions. Not always standard sizes the doors look proportionate to the wall.

Often there is a need to change these dimensions in one direction or another.

The second important condition is that the design of the entrance to the room matches the general style. Moreover, this is required in relation to both adjacent rooms. Often the doorway acts as a unifying element that connects interiors.

This is especially important if there is no door leaf filling. There are many options for creating beautiful and interesting design doorway, photos of some solutions can be viewed on our website.
