What is also interesting, to separate the doorway without the door they want many people in different premises. Just after him, another room can be located, and the way in this case is just an element of the interior.

We select a form for a goat

Doorway - such a part of the interior that can simply separate two different rooms. The door in this case is absolutely not needed, so it is not installed.

In the form of a rectangle

This design necessarily needs additional finishes. You need not only to install cash, but also use framing.

And now more details:

• It is possible to separate the rectangular doorway with wood or MDF. When you have to work with such forms, these options can be called the most attractive. Often, designers advise the rectangular opening in business, strict style - only you decide, listen to them, or it is better to act differently.
• To decorate the doorway, the decor or stucco is often used. It is necessary in order for the attention of people to attract these exquisite elements of the interior, and bare walls remained aside, "for the scenes".

Watch the video about how you can get a rectangular doorway on your own. Surely, the material will give you "food for reflection", which you use productively in the future.

Arched Piece

Arched overwhelms like many people, to make something like this in their apartment wondered by any owner.

What can be said about this:

1. Separate the arched doorway - quite relevant task. Such a design will help effectively divide the premises, especially if they are decorated in a single style - it will be very worthy;
2. The width and height of the arch in such a design depend not only on the desire of the owner - necessarily takes into account the total volume in the room. Width of the walls must be taken into account anyway.

When the doorway is finished in the form of the arch, it is important to remember the main thing - the facing in no case should do your discourse, too cumbersome.

Imitation Arki.

When you become the master of any room, the doorway, performed "not on the topic" immediately striking - everyone will agree with this. But, it is not possible to remove the unsuccessful design in all cases.

The optimal way out of such a complex position is the imitation of the arch. Simple arched segments are fixed to it, with additional attention to the design is not attracted. This design will perfectly fit into any interior style, so it's not worth worrying.

How to draw attention to the arch and highlight it

Since we are talking about how to finish the doorways, it's time to think about the important issue - how to emphasize the attention of a person on the arch. After all, the trim of doorways is not rarely done, including, in order to attract. In this case, there is some tricks, a good owner is obliged to know them:

• In any situation, the decoration of the doorway stucco will be attracted to themselves (it is worth choosing only high-quality). Bashed this material is not so difficult, it is easy to buy in retail trade exactly what it will come to you. With the help of such a simple decoration in the room will be given the desired style;
• If you have the opportunity - be sure to use moldings in the work (overhead panels that are easy to choose in the desired color in suitable forms). In addition, many involve Sandricks when they want to draw attention to the arched outline - this is something like a fronton, which slightly protrudes at the top. Imitation in the form of columns today is also made not rarely - this is a common practice;
• Another common solution is if there is a doorway (how to separate which you do not know), and there is no door, you can always use the mosaic. With the help of such elements, it is possible to very effectively decorate the design. Produce a modern mosaic in different color solutions, so you can get a really unique, impressive drawing - if you give the will of his own imagination;
• Separate the doorway without a door with a tree - another popular option, which will also attract attention. Panels When performing work, you can position not only horizontally, but also vertically, which gives certain space for action. Wealthy people can choose products from expensive wood, which will give the arc to a special charm;
• If you live in the apartment of the old building, most likely there is no free space and need to save it in every way. To optically increase the space, you can choose the tile for facing the arch. For example, the entrance to the kitchen, made in this way, will look quite effectively. Buy tile today is not a problem, like the choice of textures, colors. Imitation of stone or other material is also not a question.

How to distract attention from the doorway

Often there are situations where the owner is interested in hiding some kind of doorway, not to allocate him against the background of the overall interior. There are also your wisdom here, some of them we will discern.

Than to separate the discretion so that it does not highlight:

1. You will come to the aid of the finish of the doorway with plasterboard. Works should be performed imperceptibly - then nothing "rushing into the eyes" will not be. From above, the cornice is often hung, and some curtains are on it. Experts advise you to select beautiful curtains, it looks worthy of the option when the pattern is applied and there are clashes. With this decoration, the décor decor is unlikely to interest someone;
2. Wicker framing is also often used to divert attention. It is performed in the format of lamps. For this task, thick threads are perfect.

What can be separated by the doorway - options

Before making the final choice, be sure to watch photos and videos on the topic - it will be easier to choose the optimal configuration for your space. And we, in turn, consider the most popular materials for finishing openings - both without doors and with them.

What you should pay attention to:

• Plasterboard is an excellent solution, it allows you to hide any errors on the main plane. The result is a high-quality, smooth and smooth surface. Next, you can safely mount any finishing elements. Gypsum Carton is also good because the shape is given by any - arched is no exception;
• PVC panels - this material is on sale with any structure, in any color. This finish will emphasize the strict style of your premises, the contrast of wallpaper will be highlighted. The panels are good because they make the design more volumetric, moreover, it will be slightly expanded. The practical side is also present in this trim - traces of hands, fingerprints on the material are invisible. Install all this, to separate the doorway with plastic, without any problems;
• Use of decorative stone. Perhaps this is the most stylish option to finish door openings. However, this process requires costs, but isn't the beauty worth the money? It is better not to use as decor too massive, large details - because of this, the design is dried.

Before performing the finish, it is necessary to competently prepare the basis - otherwise even the quality material will not last long.

• If the arch is in the hallway or at all on the street - the clinker finishes will look great. This material is famous for its beauty, durability.

Overview of designer decisions

Consider tips, which give specialists in the design of the design of doorways do.

• If the ceilings in the room are low, it is worth choosing structures in the form of an archer. At the same time, the radius is desirable to choose to a greater extent from the width of the day. The rounding is to perform gentle. The arch in this design will look much higher - due to this ceiling will rise optically.

If the arch is performed in a classic style, it is worth choosing that radius that will be half your goat. This design ideally looks in rooms where there are high ceilings.

• When the owner wants the room to look original, you can abandon the generally accepted standards. Boldly use the ELIPS, and then the slope is at any side. But here there are reservations: it is better not to take hasty decisions. Weigh all the pros and cons, think again.

If plans to use wood expensive varieties, should not be worried - this is quite common practice. So that the material does not become too fast, various chemicals are applied.

About choosing materials (why it is worth abandoning stone)

When the materials are chosen to separate the doorway beautifully, conservative solutions are often held. This can be explained by other requirements that are obliged to meet a good decor.

Namely:

• The finish must be completely safe for children, and the same protruding stones are traumatic;
• Simplicity is welcomed, and to dismantle the stone decor, one way or another will have to make serious efforts;
• About the aesthetic component should also be remembered - if the room is not too big and filled with furniture, the stone will create only dissonance.

Where the stone will be appropriate

However, there are such situations where the facing of the doorway (or window openings, walls) decorative stone is an excellent choice. Such the finish is suitable for:

• Spacious premises;
• Rooms where few furniture;
• If you need to hide some defects on the walls;
• When the plans are the stylization of space for certain design tasks.

With all this, you can choose a compromise - an intermediate option. This approach to business will satisfy your desire to make facing by natural material, while not creating inconvenience.

Everything is simple - for example, use special wallpapers, or panels from polyurethane foam suitable texture. Today, there is a material that has a coating in the form of a thin layer of natural (or synthetic) stone.

Yes, this technique can not be called perfect, but it is perfect for understanding style. Moreover, if the decor is bored - it will be dismantled at any time without any difficulties.

Decorative stone for decoration

Stone for finishing, which is used today, maybe two types:

• Natural - natural rocks are processed. Expensive solution;
• Artificial - performed in the factory conditions, natural materials are used for production. The result is obtained by a method that is similar to the manufacture of concrete structures. That is, they are connected in one cheap natural materials (for example, plaster) - plus add different pigments.

Advantages of artificial stone

How to separate the doorway with a stone? Let's talk about artificial material - it is available to everyone, democratic for the price. This material is often chosen for finishing because in construction work it is convenient for use. Artificial stone is distinguished by standard forms, manufacturers willingly make many different shapes. These products have a different texture, colors, you can find a variant that will mimic natural breed, brickwork or other surface.

Consider the arguments in favor of apply artificial stone for finishing door openings - both in residential premises and public:

• The material is neutral, the effect on the microclimate in the room does not exert. Necessarily accompanied by a certificate of quality (hygienic);
• It is much easier to compare with natural materials;
• In terms of fire safety, it shows excellent results, however, the combustion is not excluded;
• In a wet environment is stable, suitable, for example, in order to decorate a bathroom or a sauna;
• The best samples of artificial material are not inferior to natural;
• In production, natural pigments are added, in the material structure, they are integrated at the production stage, so the color of your artificial stone in any conditions will be unchanged;
• Release artificial stone with smooth edges, products are distinguished by standard thickness. That is, use it all in the finish - easy and convenient;
• Even if a person has no construction experience, he can separate the walls or doorways with artificial stone - thanks to its lightness. The thickness of the layer attached to the stone wall is not needed, and the rows of fastening are unconsigned by the usual level;
• The spoiled surface can always be renovated or restored.

Rules for finishing with decorative stone

It is necessary to perform the trimming of door openings with decorative stone in accordance with the generally accepted architectural rules. Only when they are observed, the finished finish will have the right proportions.

More about these rules:

• Doorway must be separated by a stone evenly - it concerns the entire surface of the wall. Places near the proof or in its lower part can be slightly massive. The upper part of the decor is not massive than the bottom. An example in everyday life - Mountain. Its base is wide, and the top is thin. On the plane, this rule also works fine;
• Laying stones are carried out taking into account what is the curvature of the edge of the doorway. It is necessary to strictly monitor the tile seams or behind their relief pattern - the products are arranged symmetrically relative to each other. The finished project will eventually look natural;
• The décor of your door will look great if the wall decoration is symmetrical on both sides: especially if there is no door frame in the opening;
• Wood products are perfectly combined with a stone, especially if it is suitable for style. The rough surface of the stones, for example, can be combined with a tree texture (if it is coarse). Wooden polished panels, in turn, look spectacular together with a smooth stone surface.

Tools and materials

When you perform a trim of a doorway with a stone, should be at hand required tools:

• Brush to remove old paint;
• Frame, liquid nails, Handling for metal;
• Sprayer or airbrush (to do the finish tinting);
• Artificial stone itself, acrylic primer, concrete contact;
• Reference and construction level, caloring paste.

Sequence of finishing work

And now we will consider step by step - how to finish a doorway with artificial stone.

1. The site where we will work, have already chosen. Most likely, you prepared this place for future procedures. That is, there is no old paint there, the surface is aligned and primed. If something missed this - it will be necessary to prepare. The old layer of wallpaper or paint is removed with a brush, a synthetic paste is perfect for aligning the surface. Plinths are necessarily removed from the floor, with the doors (if there is) platbands are removed;
2. On the wall it is necessary to perform marking - how exactly the surface will be covered with a decorative layer. Remember that the bottom of the stone can be slightly more, on top - a little less. A brush or roller is primer of the selected wall section (at the expense of the substance for this procedure it is better to consult in the store). When the makeup will dry, carefully examine the instructions for your primer.

Concontact, for example, is superbly suitable for processing. We are talking about adhesive, modern material, which contains a particle of mineral crumb. Due to its presence, the grip is at times improving.

Betonactont uses to improve the clutch - not only in the production of plaster works, but also when the tile is laid out, other works are carried out.

• Stone tile should be decomposed on a horizontal smooth surface - it is necessary to select the perfect combination of colors. If necessary - the edges are equivalent. Best of all horizontally postpone what you are planning to see in the end on the doorway;
• Bold the tile is usually started with an angle - be sure to bottom. Since it was removed from the floor all the plinths, then the stone is spread even the place where the plinth could be. In the future, this element will return to the previous place - it is more expedient to put it entirely than parts;
• Using the level, the horizon is determined, from the floor, it is necessary to retreat by 30-40 mm. The stone of the stone is attached to the wall with a flat edge - liquid nails, tile glue or other composition suitable for such purposes help. On the need for the stone, parts are cut off, it can also be forbidden - if it is necessary to implement your creative idea. To erase sharp corners, the edges of the stone are mandatory grinding. If the material is laid out on the vertical edge of the door, the stone is applied to the border of the platband. The location where the stone and a wooden platband is located, is very careful.

It is better to abandon the combination of MDF platforms (or other materials on a synthetic basis) and stone. This material looks very bad with an artificial tree (even when he himself is not natural).

• When lining with a decorative stone, the angles of the walls are performed in a special way. Choose a connection of the "joint in the joint" type, while everything is done at an angle. The connection is made to a wooden basis. Often also choose the connection of the stoves of the end edge - that is, one side of the angle is attached to the edge of the tile of another angle. See this below in the thematic video on how to separate the doorway.

• When the work is completed, the glue give time for drying. After you can take a stone decoration. The composition is made, which can be sprayed to the surface of the material - so it will look natural. This composition is performed from a special caloring paste, which is darker than the main color of the tile. There is also an acrylic varnish, water. Special attention - on the periphery of the wall that stone was framed;
• The final stage associated with the trim of the doorway with this material - on the floor are attached plinth, and platbands are installed around the doorway.

Zoning residential premises using the door is the item is familiar and necessary. The closed door helps to keep personal space or protect against noise.

But sometimes the room or the corridor is so small that the door interferes, and in other cases the doorway is done so large that the door canvas will be cumbersome, and there is no need for it. In houses with thick walls, the door looks uninteresting due to wide empty slopes.

In these cases, the question arises as aesthetic attractiveness of such an arches, which means you need to think about how to arrange a doorway.

Features

In a typical apartment, very often the walls between the rooms, therefore, and the doorways are located near the sections of the ceiling floors. Such walls are called carriers. They cannot be transferred or demolished. In this case, the opening should be carefully strengthened by the beams.

It is easier for the studio apartment. The carriers are the external walls or those that zonate the bathroom. On the rest of the space partition can be delivered arbitrarily.

In a private house, when built, the necessary openings have already been identified. If the house undergoes reconstruction, their location will also depend on the ceiling plates, beams and bearing walls.

• Thus, the first feature of the design of the doorways will be adjustable under the bearing structures.
• The second feature is associated with the presence or absence of the door block in the opening.
• Third - with the desire to visually combine or divide the neighboring rooms.
• The fourth feature is a wide variety of materials, geometric forms in the design of the quiet space.
• The fifth is associated with the lack of need to care for the door web in the inadequate space.
• Six - with cash savings on the purchase and installation of the door block.

• At the same time, not all doors can be removed. And this seventh feature is the need to preserve personal space, a closed bathroom with the help of a stationary door.

This means that doorways can be equipped with a door block or be free through. This factor depends the choice of material and lighting when finishing and decorating.

Decor

In order to issue the opening, various options for building and decorative materials are used. The first will give a new form, the space is delated, the second will help it to decorate it.

• Plaster.It is from her that the draft work begins when creating a new opening or repair already existing. It can be the basis for future cladding, or he can become decorative design with the help of textured plaster.

• Plasterboardit is the basis of future beauty. With it, you can create any shape, hide flaws on the walls and slopes. Sheets of plasterboard can be flexing as an unexpected way.

• Plastic panels- Very comfortable and practical material of various colors. For their installation, specialists do not need. Facing is done quickly and simple. Yes, and care they require minimal.

• Siding. It is not difficult to establish such a navigation, and in monetary terms it is a very economical option. It is convenient to separate the input group siding, as it is easy to care for it, it is moisture-resistant and does not freeze.

• Wooden panels- No less beautiful, but more expensive. Planks can be placed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, "Christmas tree". For greater preservation and beauty, the tree is covered with furniture varnish. This finish will look beautifully in a wooden house, where the tree in itself is an element of decor.

• Panels from MDF. They are gaining increasing popularity due to its appearance, low cost, ease of installation. Facing such material can be made independently.

• Painting.The most affordable way. The easiest way to work with acrylic waterfront paint. Nitrocrack is applied to the spray (and it is inconvenient to do in a residential room). Oil paint is used less often. Enamel will give durability and glitter to the way.

• Polyurethane Lepunin It is a wide variety of molding, columns and half colonels, platbands for framing the arches and doors. Light parts and simplest installation with glue makes stucco very popular. It is produced white, but it is easy to dying.

Elegant sandriks, brackets, ornaments in combination with mosaic make the work of art.

• Natural stucco - Cheap material. It will work much harder with him, since it is much harder than polyurethane.

• Artificial or natural stone.In private houses in the south of Russia, where sandstone, a seven, limestone practically lies under his feet, is the material in priority. But in the construction markets you can buy imitation of stones (slate, porcelain stoneware, granite, marble, clinker tiles). The richest choice of decorative stone will help to decorate any walls.

• Wallpaper of various textures and colors - One of the most simple ways to design a doorway. Plug by wallpapers and adjacent walls can almost every person.

• Lamination film. The widest variety of colors and species will allow you quickly and cheap openness. But the slopes must be smooth.

• Curtains- Excellent version of the textile design of the opening. Infinitely large selection of fabric, color row, price scatter will allow any design of interior space with or without a door.

The lambrequins can complement the curtains or be an independent cash.

• Macrame or another weaving. Can be performed in any color and quality thread. Such a framing can be made of one length or as a multi-level pattern.

• Kieza or curtains - Tubes, curtain - Another option for the design of the opening. And this is an excellent way to demonstrate your skills, because Kiseu can be made with your own hands. This curtain is bamboo, wooden, plastic, beads, glass, beads, seashells, and so on.

How to refer?

There are many ways to enable interroom opening. The main thing is to choose the right form.

There are several of them:

• rectangular
• trapezoidal
• arched
• pseudo
• asymmetric.

The easiest way to make a rectangular entrance. If it is done on the site of the old door, then the door block along with navigate and sleep needs to be dismantled. The opening without a door can be separated by any material mentioned above. The head of the openings in a wooden house is performed for reliable fixation of logs and plates.

Therefore, additional backups and spacers for the corners of the design can be installed here, which can be more interesting to reorganize.

For a trapezoid input can also be used any navigation. After giving the shape of the trapezion, it will be more angles, and, it means, it will take more time to install slopes from solid materials. And this is the only serious difference.

Arches are different: classical, elliptical, gothic.

The choice of a specific form depends on the style and purpose of the room, the desired finishing materials.

• Arch from MDF can be purchased in the finished form. It will take about 3,000 rubles. Plus about 200 rubles. on the mounting foam.
• The arch can be made not from the solid canvas MDF, but from the good and platbands. This method allows you to issue an opening of any width. Finally is a very favorable option. In addition, such a framing is easy to use on a brick and concrete wall, as foam is used for mounting, and not a dowel with screws.

• Arched construction from drywall (GLC) is a billet for any further decoration. In this case, it is not necessary to align the wall in the opening: it will be hidden under GLC.
• PVC - cladding recommend to apply, heated by a construction or home hairdryer. It is necessary to do it quickly to keep the coating safe. If there are doubts about your own, it is better to invite a professional.
• With the help of soft materials, it is much easier to reflect the semicircular arched forms.

Pseudo-arousal design is a rectangle with plasterboard rounded corners. Such an arch is really more like a rectangle than a semicircle.

Gypsumboard will help the asymmetric form of the Operation. With it, you can create any design: with inserts, openwork and any other.

Facing the opening of the iron door

Entrance doorways require special design. They should be warm, well-known, resistant to abrasion, secure. This is especially true of a metal door as the coldest.

MDF will perfectly cope with this task. Dobra from this material will help install cash with your own hands. Telescopic cash is considered the easiest way due to the ease of installation. It is made on the principle of rack-lining: on the one hand, it is equipped with a groove, and on the other - the ridge. By inserting the ridge in the groove, you can make a shield of any width.

Another option is the upholstery, for example, Dermatin. It is first necessary to calculate well if it will not interfere with the movement of the door itself. In addition, when creating a thick layer can significantly decrease the opening. Therefore, in narrow premises, it is impractical to use this option.

But the navigate artificial brick or stone will make the opening beautiful and the space does not steal. It is not difficult to stick it with your own hands.

The veneer is ideal for facing the input group, as the veneer is durable and durable.

Types of fasteners

Depending on the material selected, the types of fastenings will be different. In modern construction, the mounting foam is used not only as a seal, but also as a fastener. Therefore, the MDF panels, for example, put on a foam. After complete drying, the residues are cut with a sharp knife.

For tickets of wooden openings, specialists use finish nails. Their convenience is that after going down the caps are practically not visible on the material. For brick and concrete walls, it is convenient to use liquid nails. This adhesive substance is applied on the reverse side of the solid material, after which it is fixed on the slope and tightly pressed against the wall.

It is necessary to do neatly, as liquid nails are set very quickly, but the planks and panels are dismantled.

Panels can be attached to the screw. In wooden openings, you first need to make small holes with a drill, and only then turn the screws. Otherwise, the tree can crack. In brick and concrete walls, you will have to drive a dowel (pre-drumped holes for them), and already turn the screws in them.

The easiest way of fastening is a "beak" latch. It is according to such a principle that telescopic platbands are attached. The disadvantage of such a method is the bundle of the platband itself with a frequent dismantling. But the door is installed only once. And if it came to dismantle it, it means that it is not needed, just like old platbands.

Therefore, you should not fear the premature loss of the appearance of cash.

How to align the surface for work?

Deciding with the material and the form, you need to prepare the breakdown. If for further decor various types of panels is not so important, then under wallpaper, painting, a laminatine surface should be perfect. Alignment can be made using plaster or drywall.

Plaster

You need to start with the removal of the layer of old plaster. The better this work will be performed, the less there will be problems with slope. Next, it is necessary to close the pyles and cracks with cement mortar. Small gaps are wiping with a putty, and the distance between the door frame and the wall is filled with the mounting foam.

In the process of preparation from the wall, it is necessary to remove the tubercles of the old cement and the solidified excess of the mounting foam. After that, the surface is processed by primer, which will increase the hitch of plaster and walls.

You can cover the slopes with cement mortar (cement, water, sand) or plaster (cement, sand, lime solution). The shops sell a ready-made solution of plasters, as well as the cement composition to which only add water.

There are several ways to apply a solution on the wall, but with any of them in order to make the surface smooth, you need to install vertical beacons. It can be rakes that are fixed by alabaster to slope. After drying the beacons, a solution is applied on the wall and aligned with a spatula. To stucked in this way, conveniently vertical slopes, with the ceiling it is more complicated. After complete drying, the plaster decorate it in any way.

Plasterboard

This material can be made by the openings of any configuration. And in this advantage of GKL. Perhaps no other material can cope with the asymmetric form.

After selecting the design form, you need to create a scaled pattern on paper. On it, on a sheet of paper cardboard or other solid paper, a natural dimensional pattern is made, which is transferred to wall plasterboard. The number of copies depends on whether the form is symmetrical.

Next, a metal profile is installed in the doorway. To give profile an arched shape, it needs to be trimmed with special scissors for metal every ten centimeters. Metal profile is attached to the mind. To create the arch arch, the ceiling GLC will be required - it is thinner, and it can be bent over the template.

This makes a special needle roller. Plasterboard blanks are abundantly wetted with water and rolled the roller. The billet soften, she gives the right shape and leave to dry for ten hours.

After drying, all the elements of the arch are fasten with self-drawing to the frame of metal products. Next, with the help of a sickle tape close the place of the sheets of sheets, and the recesses from the self-tapping screws are watched with a gypsum putty. When this layer is dry, put the entire design, and then grind the sandpaper. On this, the preparatory stage of work is completed, the finish finish is waiting for the design.

When creating an asymmetric multicomponent design, parts may be greater. And not every home master will cope with such work. To get high-quality and reliable design, it is better to entrust the work of professionals.

Dimensions

The most reliable measurement of the doorway, in which the door will be installed, entrust the specialist. But because of the circumstances or his own desire, sometimes it is necessary to measure this space on their own.

How to do it right:

• Measure the width, that is, the distance between the walls. At the same time, on the input opening, the door width will be less than on the inside of the wall. In addition, due to the construction defect, the distance at different points may also differ. It is important to find the most narrow place.
• Measure the height, that is, the distance from the threshold to the lowest point of the opening above the head.
• Measure the depth, that is, the thickness of the wall. It is necessary to do it downstairs, in the middle and above the opening.

One of the common variants of the visual increase in the room in the room is a dismantling of interroom doors. Such a solution allows you to visually expand the premises, create a single space in the interior. At the same time, an important task arises - finishing the doorway. In this article, we collected the most popular and non-trivial ways to solve this issue.

Preparation of opening

The process of preparing the working surface varies due to materials selected as finishing.

Types of materials for finishing

The choice of materials for finishing the doorway on the construction market is also extensive, there will be options both economy-class and expensive alternatives. It all depends directly from the needs, desires and opportunities of buyers, as well as several important aspects:

• do not save on the quantity and quality of fixing elements (for example, if you do a clash from wooden bars, then you need to watch them for mold, rot and large cracks);
• when buying materials, packaged by different boxes, you should check the batch of supplies if they differ, it may be different and a shade of the contents;
• the durability of the material, its ability to withstand daily contact with various external influences - this is what the wizards should think first of all.

Using the example of the most popular options for the doorway finish, consider the workflow in more detail for each of them.

Plaster

This option can be called the most popular through the simplicity of work and the practicality of the use of finishing material.

The only thing about to take care before starting the finish is to cover the floor with a film or newspapers in order not to damage and not contaminate the surface.

1. Work starts with the preparation of the opening: stripping from old materials and primer surface.
2. Installing beacons (it should be mounted a little solution and fix perforated corners on the walls, exposing them along the construction level).
3. A masonry reinforcing mesh is attached between the corners.
4. A building mixture is prepared in the required quantity.
5. Using several spatulas, the mixture is applied to the walls in a chaotic order, after which the rule is smoothed over the surface.

It is important to remember that the thickness of one layer should not exceed 2 cm, otherwise emptiness or cracks can form, and this will adversely affect the durability of the finish.

If everything is respected, it remains to wait until the surface dry, and you can start the finish finish: painting, wallpaper sticker or decorative mixtures.

Clinker tile, mosaic

This material is intended for facing a variety of sections of a residential building, including the doorway. There are no special rules for laying, options are offered depending on the interior design:

Facing the doorway tile or mosaic does not require a special tool or special skills, the workflow consists of phased actions:

1. after the surfaces are cleaned and twisted, it is necessary to put markup, according to which the tile will be located in the doorway;
2. prepare special glue (liquid nails are used only in cases where the surface is perfectly smooth);
3. apply glue with a spatula on the reverse side of the tile, distribute it on the surface, excess to remove;
4. put the tile to the wall and hold for a few seconds, giving an effort.

So that the products are fixed on the surface of the opening evenly, the plastic strokes should be prepared in advance, which is inserted into the seams between the tiles. It is removed after solidifying the adhesive mass no earlier than 24 hours.

It is very important - if the glue hit the surface of the tile, it should be removed immediately, since it is very difficult to remove the solidising mass.

When the opening is completely enhanced, the seams between the tiles are closed with special grouts, the color of which is selected in the tone of walls or finishing materials.

Decorative rock

Another option that is used as an alternative to clinker tiles is a decorative stone. He has several advantages over other finishing materials:

• the exact imitation of natural breeds, while the varieties of the textures are very much: marble, limestone, jasper, brick, wood slice and many others.
• tolerates increased humidity without consequences;
• easy to care, because does not require the use of special means to remove dirt from the surface;
• resistant to mechanical damage subject to laying rules.

The installation process is very similar to the masonry clinker tile, but there are several important points that should not be forgotten:

• depending on the thickness, the weight of the products may vary, which can increase the consumption of adhesive mass;
• by purchasing the finishing material, inspect several pieces from the back, if there are many pores on the surface, they have low density, which will affect the strength of the stone.

This finishing material is found in two types:

1. Natural. It is made from natural breeds crushed into the crumb. Such products are characterized by weight and strength with direct mechanical effects.
2. Artificial. It is the basis of the gypsum, which adds dyes and polymers. The main advantage is a low price, which fluctuates around 300-800 rubles per square meter.

Wooden panels, MDF

No less popular option for finishing door sluts are wooden or MDF panels, laminated under the tree, which harmoniously fit into the classic style. Benefits include:

• aesthetics;
• durability;
• lack of visible defects when in contact with water.

The process of installation of wood panels or MDF will require you to purchase additional materials - wooden plates to be used as a crate:

1. Rakes are cut under the width of the opening and are attached with the help of dowels and screws to the walls.
2. Panels are also customized under the opening with a small indent, to hide the end corner.
3. The starting panel is fixed with finish nails.
4. All subsequent panels are fastened through a spike-groove (compound system present on products).
5. From the end, the design closes the side panel - a platband that is attached to the nails to the crate or the end corner.

Photo Instructions for finishing opening MDF panels

To hide fasteners, you can use special furniture wax or sticky plugs, pickup them under the color of the panels.

This finish will look rich, even if inexpensive MDF panels were used with a textured pattern under the tree of exotic breeds.

Laminate

Many finishers love laminate for its flexibility, which allows these material to be sewed with almost any openings, angles and surchates found in residential premises. The only thing that is worth bothering is - he does not tolerate moisture and after contact with water on the ends of the products, bloat can be formed, and such defects are not eliminated.

Laminate is fastened with self-tapping screws in the same way as finishing PVC or MDF panels.

If the walls are relatively smooth, then you can use liquid nails and spacers, which for several hours will pressed the material to the surface of the walls.

Stucco - gypsum and polyurethane foam

One of the most interesting, but in its own way of capricious materials is stucco. Using it in the interior for finishing the doorway, you should withstand a single concept of general design, to fit into the style to which columns are inherent, pilasters with capitals and other similar decor elements.

The stucco on the opening should be combined with other elements of the interior, such as floor and ceiling plinths

There are two types of stucco on the construction market:

1. Gypsum. Without it, it is impossible to present the interiors of country houses performed in Venetian or classic style. But in small apartments such products seem too cumbersome, interior openings are narrowed not only visually, but in fact. Plus, all the gypsum is a very heavy and fragile material, in conditions of mechanical exposure, it will not last long.
2. Artificial, or rather polyurethane, is an affordable analog of plaster.

The benefits of polyurethane decor can also be attributed:

• ease of construction;
• ease of installation: products are easily cut by a stationery knife and are attached to liquid nails;
• a variety of finished forms;
• polyurethane surface is suitable for staining.

The stucco looks perfect in the frame of the doorway with the arch, especially if the width allows you to erect the monolithic column supports along the edges.

Forms of the doorway

The finishing of the openings between the rooms without the door is complex not only by the choice of the material used, but also to which form will be this very opening.

The solution to this issue will affect the harmony of the transition between the rooms, on the lighting of the premises, the combination of styles in the interior and the practicality of the movement.

Rectangular

Frequently found option is rectangular. This opening remains immediately after dismantling the door box and it has its advantages:

• suitable for all finishing materials;
• no facilities of additional structures are required;
• clearly distinguishes two residential premises, for example, a balcony and a kitchen, while visually expanding both;
• great is perfect for modern interior design styles.

Wide rectangular opening allows you to use slopes as a niche for interior items

Arched

The arch has an interesting ability: in premises with low ceilings, it visually enhances them, and in cases with high - on the contrary, lowers. At the same time, the wider the opening in the form of the arch, the lower it seems the ceiling.

Many prefer such an option for its softness, lack of sharp corners, it makes transitions between rooms more invisible. Ideally fits the arch when leaving the hall, if it is wide enough, the movement between the rooms will be inconspicuous.

The absence of a massive decor of the doorway emphasizes the beauty and complexity of the rest of the interior.

Pleasant additions are ready-made solutions - arched type, prepared for installation in doorways.

Dobors and developed edging openings emphasize the complex form of the opening, making visual accent on it

Trapezoidal

This form is used very rarely, this is due to the fact that in small areas such a solution gives the opposite effect: the room does not expand, and the ceiling is visually lowered. Especially in cases where the upper horizontal part of the trapezium is too narrow. It may seem to be the impression that when the opening, it wanted to make an arch, but did not have enough strength and skills.

This opening looks good when it corresponds to the form located behind it, as in this picture

The polygon will well fit into the transition, where bivalve interior doors were planned or were installed. With the help of drywall, it is possible to easily and without effort to turn the rectangular lumen in a smooth trapezion, consolidating it in the corners of the opening.

Asymmetric

The doorway, which embodies the fantasies of the owners of the residential premises - this is an asymmetrical form. Designers love her for the ability to implement the most amazing solutions. The opening ceases to be the border of the two rooms, it turns into an apartment decoration, in that element that attracts the glance and emphasizes the specified style.

Assymmetric opening - highlight of any interior

However, there are nuances here, which many forget about and in the process of work are faced with difficulties:

• it is impossible to be taken for expanding the opening without creating a project, where all the possibilities of bearing walls and overlaps will be taken into account;
• sharp corners and sharp forms have a negative psychological impact on others; It is necessary to reduce the presence of irritable factors as much as possible so that the refined openings serve it with dignity, and not the disadvantage.

Curtain design

A simple but very interesting option to decorate the doorway with a curtain is a look in the past. A few decades ago, people were so distinguished by living space, decorating the passage by wooden or tissue curtains. The desired effect was reached: the boundaries of the room were visually identified, and the closetness of space was not created.

Curtains - simple and spectacular solution

But such solutions are popular and now, that's just a variety of forms and materials has become much larger. Most often bamboo sticks are used, very durable and emitting a pleasant sound when colliding with each other. They can be painted independently into the desired shade or pick up the finished version of its interior.

It is possible to use the curtains anywhere, even on the border of the hallway with the bathroom, though it is a bit intimate, but if the owners of the dwelling are interesting, then why not experiment.

A beautifully decorated doorway always looks careful and attached to the whole room. It is hard not to notice how much is transformed when it is framed. And it's not just that they hide all the nuances of the installation process, but also in the fact that the opening becomes more pronounced and noticeable. Very often, designers specifically pay great attention to such a finish. As a result, they receive a unique and often one-piece decor element. Increasingly, you can meet the openings in which there are no door canvases. Sometimes this is also a deliberate move of designers, and sometimes it is just a need. Today we will look at questions Door opening without doors. Consider when it is appropriate to leave the openings open, and what shortcomings and benefits entails a similar solution.

1. Open opening - designer stroke or necessity?

Open-type doorways can be found in the interiors of modern apartments. Sometimes it is a really designer reception, which is designed to make an indifference in the overall environment. But most often, this is a very right course of visual expansion of space and saving free space. At the same time, no one says that such an opening cannot look interesting and unusual. Standard swing doors occupy a lot of space, especially if they open inward. Depending on the width of the opening, the door can "eat" up to 1 square meter of the total area. Instantly appear restrictions on the placement of furniture objects or decor elements and the mass of other inconveniences.

Sometimes the sliding structures are used instead, which is undoubtedly much more compact. However, they do not always look aesthetic. If the guides for the doors are not concluded between the walls, they are necessarily mounted on one of them. Thus, the appearance of the wall in one of the premises may look spoiled. Therefore, in some cases it will be appropriate to dismantle interroom doors. In this case, the line is automatically erased between two adjacent rooms and a single space is formed.

Sometimes it really is appropriate eg:

• In the event of an increase in the size of the room by attaching a balcony or loggia to it. In any case, such actions are accompanied by dismantling the balcony block, otherwise the whole idea will not be incarnated;
• If you plan to combine living room and hallway. The organization of the open type portal in this case will allow to blur the line between the two absolutely different rooms on the purpose, but at the same time still maintain the conditional separation. The living room of small sizes will seem significantly more spacious;
• If you organized in the bedroom, while sacrificing the bedroom sizes, it is better not to use deaf door canvases. Leave the opening without doors, and we will teach how to beat it beautifully.

Many use a similar reception when accessing living room to the kitchen. Most often, the opening is performed in the form of various in shape. Undoubtedly, this is the most aesthetic way to combine. But do not forget that if you use the kitchen on its direct destination and engage in the active preparation of food, then all odors accompanying this process instantly spread throughout the apartment.

Also not quite right The decision will dismantle the door cauldons in the children's room, a bedroom or desktop. All these premises require a separate space. Of course, an exception may be the case when you live alone and retake in principle not from anyone. In all other cases, doorways without doors are able to expand the space. Therefore, it is especially possible to meet them in small apartments.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of doors without doors

After we figured out when it is advisable, and when there is no free doorway, it's time to talk about the explicit advantages and disadvantages of this reception. Let's start by S. disadvantages:

• When dismantling door boxes There is no clear distinction, where the other functional zone begins one and ends. On the example of combining a kitchen with a living room like this way, we realized that it is not always appropriate. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, when you visit the kitchen in the morning in order to make yourself make yourself a coffee or in the evening to arrange a light snack. However, the same effect of blurred boundaries in other cases may also be an advantage;
• If we consider that the lack of secluded spaces for a person who lives himself is not critical, then all the same there are rooms in the apartment where the doors are simply necessary. For example, in the bathrooms. This lack of open opening is not critical, however, takes place.

Now let's talk about benefits Portals organization:

3. Selection of the form of the opening depending on the style of the interior

Before choosing ways of designing the doorway, it is worth thinking about it above. Of course, you can leave everything unchanged. And rectangular open portals look very impressive. And you can try pick up forms open focusing on Interior indoor. After all, the opening must and harmoniously fit into the overall picture and emphasize its features. Consider the most suitable for various shape styles:

• Elegant directions such as , Rococo or Renaissance Measure the predominance of symmetric, correct lines. It is compensated for such simplicity with a large abundance of decorative elements. It can be a complex carving, a variety of stucco with gilding or complex arched bas-reliefs;
• Restrained and noble classic style Well complement the openings of arched type. At the same time, the arches are preferred by an oval, three-center or semi-round form. Of course, the classic does not do without such a material as a tree that can be decorated with decorative carvings or milling;
  
• Eastern directions Also prefer arched openings, but their form may be more diverse. They can be fit or calendous, as a heart or a circle. In general, in this case, you can give the will of fantasy and focus on the forms and silhouettes of furniture items;
• Romantic directions Do not overload with complex bends. All elements in them must remain light and air, smooth and elegant. Perfectly suitable semicircular shapes without sharp transitions. At the same time, it is not necessary to abuse and the number of finishing materials and choose coarse and severe variants;
• Modern and concise styles, such as, or techno, recognize only strict proper geometric forms. I can not be any ovalah and speech. Strict symmetry should also be present. Therefore, in this case, it is better to leave the form of opening unchanged and only thoroughly align all the angles and facets;
• Such interesting and extraordinary directions as or pop art Be sure to have a very unusual form in the interior. Typically, it serves as a small piece of furniture, for example, a chair, chair or. But why not show fantasy and do not create an opening of a winding, asymmetric form? It is such a solution that will best complement and emphasize the stylistic affiliation of the room.
  

Choosing the most appropriate form, follows rely on not only on the above recommendations, but also to the height of the ceilkov in room. Otherwise, you risk once again pay attention to the existing flaw.

Choosing this type of finish, remember that thorough care is needed. And otherwise, it all depends on your financial capabilities and fantasies. The color of wooden openings should be coordinated with the color of the floor or plinths. You can also rely on the color of furniture objects.

The role plays and the style of design. After all, not all modern directions welcome the use of such "warm" materials. For example, or minimalism is preferred by plastic or metal.

12. Decorative finish with natural or artificial stone

Choosing a natural stone finish, be sure to consider his weight And select the adhesive mixture specifically for such a material. In addition, the installation complicates the fact that the fragments can crawl under their own weight, therefore either need to be laid according to the same technology as - using the segment of a metal profile and clinies, or hold each pebble for a few minutes while grab glue.

Also, some experts argue that laying should be started directly from the floor, but this is not always appropriate. For example, if you want to use the plinth, then it is better to leave the place for them than to mount them on top of the stones. Natural stone is expensive material. Therefore, it is very often preferred by an artificial substitute. Its appearance at a sufficiently high level imitates a natural texture. It is easier and affordable, more simple in laying and cutting. And for even greater relief of the process, ready-made angular elements came up.

Door openings lined with stone look very comfortable. However, you should not choose a similar finish for deep and narrow openings. It may turn out that the opening will remind the entrance to the cave, which is appropriate not in all interiors.

13. Arch instead of the usual "rectangle"

Arched-type openings have become popular for a very long time and to this day are actively used by many designers. Door openings of this form are highly good decision For use in small rooms. They help visually make the space more spacious. And correctly chosen proportions of the width and height of the arches can and "lift" the low ceiling. Arches can be both standard forms and the most unpredictable.

Very often, this element is key in the interior, and the whole finish depends on it. You can purchase ready-made arocal type portals from a variety of materials, and you can to do Arch alone. Often the framework of the desired form is mounted from metal profiles and is trimmed with plasterboard. Instead of profiles, you can use wooden planks of sufficient thickness. A layer of plaster is applied on top of it, and then decorative finish is performed. Very often, the arches can be found as a connecting element between the loggia room. They can have built-in shelves, backlight, niches for placement of decor or fragments. It can also be used as a dressing table or place to accommodate indoor plants. Advantage The design of the doorway in the form of the Arch is that it can be written in almost any interior style. It is enough to simply choose the appropriate shape and finishing material.

And for create Valid functional elements. It can be a composition of wall niches, and maybe a self-made rack. The place around the doorways is often empty. If there is a shallow shelves from drywall around the perimeter, it will be possible to save space, ensure a sufficient number of space to accommodate souvenirs, books, family photos. At the same time, the need to buy the wall or the cabinet can disappear automatically.

In addition, such structures can form openings not only rectangular, but also semicircular forms. It looks like this solution is very original and interesting. Subsequent finishing drywall It will depend on the style of your room. It will be possible to simply shuffle and paint the surface, pickup color for the wall covering. Separate shelves can be additional Multicolored illumination. The rear walls of the shelves can be saved or painted with a distinctive color.

This will give the design of the originality and make it visually deeper. From drywall can be built, probably absolutely any in the form of the structure. The main thing is to remember that it should not be loaded with heavy objects. Still, such elements are more decorative.

15. Registration of the doorway with textiles

Registration of doorways with textile elements can be called the most romantic of all ways. Translucent tulle, developing in the wind, will create an amazing atmosphere, especially if you choose a cloth with a barely noticeable shiny thread that will be blown into the sun. It is with the help of a curtain that you can create such a design that, if necessary, create a secluded environment. If you still decide to connect a bedroom with a living room or another room, choose opaque curtains with side pickups for the design of the doorway.

In addition to the usual transparent or light-tight patients, threaded curtains are perfectly suitable, curtains from bamboo or beautiful beads. You can create complex compositions of several types of tissues with lambrequins and other elements. Such a bulk design is appropriate only in large rooms and for wide opening. Very interesting looks at the room in which the door and window openings are identical.

The only thing that should not be done is to choose to make rolled or Chinese curtains or vertical fabric rolets. Passing between rooms in this case will be very uncomfortable.

Not all rooms in the apartment need doors. Outdoor opening visually expanding space and significantly saves the place. In the article, consider in detail what decor will help properly arrange accents and what can be separated or decorate the passage between the rooms.

In what cases does not require the door

Not all apartment owners boast of extra square meters. Each centimeter of space, and interior doors often occupy a considerable area, especially if we talk about standard swing models. Not everyone likes and sliding systems. In this case, designers are offered to make a beautiful opening without a door. The absence of a web allows you to freely view the rooms, provides air circulation and expands the space. A variety of finishing materials allows you to realize even the most original ideas and ideas.

Another argument in favor of this solution is not always the need for closed doors. For example, if a balcony is added to the hall. Or there is a small transition in the form of a niche from the entrance door to the corridor. Another case is the opening between the kitchen and the living room. It is more convenient to provide free movement between two rooms.

Material

The finish of the doorway will not work, especially when it comes to simple forms. To perform work with your own hands, you can use as materials:

• plasterboard,
• wood,
• natural and artificial stone
• stucco
• moldings,
• wallpaper,
• laminate,
• etc.

There are several of the most popular finishes. You can, perform in the form, close the screen, shove wallpaper, tinkering drywall, or framed with decorative panels. Consider each option in more detail.

Arch

Arched opening is characterized by its simplicity, but at the request of the owners you can create complex forms.

Any design begins with dismantling the old door design. To bring the arch, you first need to decide on its shape:

• Rectangular portal. Live lines are displayed around the perimeter of the opening and the plaster levels the surface.
• Oval and rounded arches. On the upper corners, plasterboard are fixed on a metal frame.
• Complex forms. Allow the shelves, rods and other details in the opening.

Plaster

The decoration of the doorway, regardless of the selected facing materials, begins with plastering of slopes. Since it is difficult to align the surface, drywall is used to facilitate this task.

With the help of GLC, you can not only eliminate all the irregularities of the shoals, but also make the desired design form. In the future, it can be painted or caught by wallpaper.

For this, the dimensions are removed and the parts on the sheets of plasterboard are placed. It is advisable to use the moisture-resistant type of GCC to prevent operating in the process of work and operation. On the perimeter of the opening, with the exception of the floor, metal profiles are mounted, gypsum parts are screwed to them with self-inspections.

After that, it is necessary to handle the opening with an antiseptic and primer. Initially, the layer of starting putty is applied to close the joints. After drying, irregularities are removed and the finish putty is going. Depending on the state of the surface, it may be necessary from 1 to 3 layers. Between each application, the opening is maintained and ground. When the surface becomes perfectly smooth, you can paint it or continue facing work. For example, it is possible to wander with wallpaper, to bind decorative stone or beat with an additional decor.

Insert

If you have a manual arc, you don't die, better buy a special insert. As a framing, an array of wood or MDF is most often used.

The design looks like a doorway with dull and navigate. The installation is performed in almost the same way, only decorative corners are used for connecting parts. Mounting foam and all the rough work are masked under the platbands. Alternatively, you can try to enjoy the passage of laminate.

Facing a stone

One of the popular embodiments of the interior opening is facing with artificial or natural stone. For work take sandstone, limestone and their imitation:

• dice
• slate
• marble,
• granite,
• clinker,
• porcelain stoneware, etc.

This type of decorative finish is combined with painted walls or plaster. As a result, it turns out a very beautiful decor.

Sand-cement mortar or special glue mixtures based on portland cement are used to lay the stone. The surface is aligned and plastering, the walls are painted, the position of the fragments are placed. Mass appline a small spatula on the element of the facing and applied to the wall.

It looks good not even symmetrical decor, but chaotic scattered stones, protrusions and transitions.

This can also be attributed to the stucco. For example, around the arch place the imitation of the columns, and the passage itself to reorganize the figure elements along the prototype of the ancient temples and palaces with flutes. The stucco is most relevant in the classic interior design.

Complex structures

If the opening is wide, and the total area of \u200b\u200bthe room and the height of the ceilings allows, try experimenting. For example, to equip in the upper part and on the sides, an intricate design of plastic, colored glasses or stained glass windows. By perimeter, you can insert point light or diodes.

Interesting ideas to arrange original designs are presented in the photo.

Curtains and Shirma

This method already refers to the decoration of the opening, and not to the finish. The passage can be drilled by a traditional textile curtain, if it is appropriate in the interior of a particular stylistry, for example, country, Provence or Shebbi-Chic. Or buy a special product. These are plastic, wooden, rope screens consisting of a large number of elements connected by the plank. Rolled blinds are suitable.

Textile products are good in that, if necessary, completely closed the doorway, towing the room from prying eyes.

Curtains can be added glass doors, placing them over them or on the canvas (a la Hourglass).

When decorating opening, use the same curtains as on the windows by adding lambrequins and cords.

A common option for extracting openings is the jewelry of curtains. They can be made in the form of a solid curtain or framing the arch. For the manufacture uses such materials:

• wood,
• bamboo,
• straw,
• liana
• artificial analogues of natural materials,
• ropes and cords,
• plastic,
• beads.

You can decorate, combining and combining different materials to create your own copyright.

The absence of the door allows you to transform the room without limiting the space. Most often, in this way, the balcony or kitchen opening is made, combined with the living room. Complicated curly elements in spacious arches are appropriate in studios apartments, and laconic - in the hallways and loggias.
