Decorate doorways. Doorway without a door: necessity or design decision? Facing with decorative stone

Having decided to get rid of traditional doors, you cannot avoid the question, how can you arrange the resulting arch? In this article we will look at how beautifully without doors using various materials on our own.

Why do opening openings?

In some buildings, open doorways are part of the bearing wall. It cannot be removed, it remains only to decorate or turn it into a built-in wardrobe or niche.
Also, open doorways are made to visually unite several rooms: a kitchen and a hall, an office and a bedroom, a living room and an entrance hall.
In rooms with a free layout, such openings divide the territory into functional zones.

In addition, open doorways visually increase the space, they do not need to be looked after like traditional doors, they can be interestingly decorated and given an original shape. But this option is unacceptable for those who want to retire from everyone.

Form of door niches

Rectangular. This design needs mandatory finishing, installation of platbands and framing. It can be finished with wooden or plastic panels with similar platbands, decorated with stucco or decorative stone.

Arched structure. It can have a rounded, trapezoidal, ellipsoidal arch, etc. Such an opening visually expands the space, so it is beneficial to make it in narrow rooms. In principle, with the help of drywall it is possible.

Advice! When planning to decorate an archway, avoid "heavy" and "bulky" cladding methods (stucco or stone with large patterns).

Arch imitation. In appearance, it is similar to an arch, but is made from semicircular finished segments that can be bought at any store. They are fixed in the corners of the niche and decorate in any way.

How to select an arched opening

Finishing interior openings is done in order to attract attention. There are several design solutions that will help highlight the arch:

Advice! If you want the entrance opening to look unusual and original, give it an unusual shape with drywall: ellipsoid, slope to one side, figured entrance with shelves, etc.

How to divert attention from the doorway

There are situations when it is necessary to visually hide the doorway. To do this, you can resort to some tricks:

It will help to make the entrance "invisible" drywall without additional finishing, i.e. painted in White color. Many hang a cornice with curtains over such an opening, decorated with bright patterns and interesting prints that will distract attention to themselves.
Wicker frame in the form of lambrequins made of thick threads will also help to merge with the overall interior.

How to trim a doorway with stone

Decorate door arch stone is a great option for:

Large, spacious rooms;
Rooms with a small number of furniture;
If you need to hide any wall defects.

The process of decorating a doorway with a stone is as follows:

The surface must be prepared: rid of the old coating, plastered and primed.
On the wall, markings are made for a decorative stone, making the picture larger from below, smaller from above. Then the selected area needs to be primed.
Then, a decorative stone is laid out on a flat surface in order to visually see the combination of colors and the intended pattern.
Artificial stone is glued to the wall with tile adhesive or liquid nails. You need to start from the bottom corner. If the vertical edge of the opening is laid out with a stone, then it is glued close to the platband.

Advice! To make the masonry look more organic, sharp corners can be sanded down with sandpaper.

After the glue dries, the decorative stone is varnished or a special composition consisting of tinting paste, water and acrylic varnish.
At the end, a plinth is glued to the floor, and platbands are installed.

Finishing the interior opening MDF

In appearance, MDF is similar to natural wood. The opening, decorated with MDF boards, looks especially elegant and will suit any style. In addition, they are very easy to install, even a beginner can do it, adhering to the following sequence:

In the doorway, it is necessary to close up the cracks and chips, and then nail the guide rails along the edge.
Next, you need to determine the width of the workpiece, for this, attach the casing to the slope from the outside, the resulting distance will be equal to the width of the slope.
In this case, it is necessary to take into account the width of the finishing corner along the edge of the casing.

Now you can cut the plank for the top slope using a jigsaw. With the help of self-tapping screws, we fasten it to the rails.
In the same way, set the side slopes.
Further along the perimeter of the opening they glue decorative corners, and then close them with a platband.
The gaps between the slopes are sealed with putty to match the color of the tree.

Decorating a doorway with plastic

It is one of the most accessible and inexpensive ways finishes. In addition to the price, its advantages include a variety of colors and textures, which allows the material to fit into any interior. In addition, plastic is not afraid of mechanical and chemical effects, it is easy to clean. These panels can be installed in two ways:

By analogy with MDF boards, i.e. fasten to a wooden frame. However, this way you can easily damage the texture of the plastic.
Provided that the slopes of the opening are even and plastered, the plastic is attached to the base with liquid nails. The ends of the plastic are closed with special plastic corners. They are attached to liquid nails, it is enough to press them to the surface for a couple.

Other design options for arched openings.

stucco work. It can be made of gypsum and polyurethane. The first option is practically not used today, because. such panels are very heavy, difficult to install, and besides, this is a very fragile material, if it falls, it will simply break. Polyurethane does not differ in appearance from gypsum, but it is lighter and glued to any surface using liquid nails.

However, this method of decoration is not very appropriate in small apartments with narrow doorways. Stucco molding made of polyurethane is available in white color, in the future it can be painted with a regular water-based paint in any color.

Drywall. With it, you can give a niche any shape and get a perfectly smooth surface. Drywall is attached to a special metal profile with self-tapping screws, and the corners are closed with corners. After installation, it is primed and puttied in three layers. Then the opening can be pasted over with wallpaper or painted with paint to match the main walls.

Natural tree. This is the most expensive finishing option. But the result is worth the investment, because. natural wood gives the interior a special chic, comfort and respectability. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly, harmless material that does not cause allergies. But you can use cheaper varieties of wood, lacquering it under oak or walnut, while this will not affect the appearance in any way.

Beautifully decorating a doorway is not such a difficult task. There are many options on how to make it fit into the style of your home and transform the room for the better, just show your imagination, use our tips.

edging front door

Sometimes combining the space of adjacent rooms is the most optimal planning solution. The reason for this is both the banal lack of space, in which every square of living space counts, and considerations of the aesthetic perception of the interior.

And then, if we judge purely practically: the door is far from always needed - so why spend money on buying it. It is much easier, in accordance with the concept of the style of interior decoration, to frame the doorways with stucco molding or veneer them with wooden planks.

If you just take and remove the door from the hinges, the bare box in the opening will not look good. The half-loops and the reciprocal level of the lock will be an eyesore and break the harmony in the interior. To avoid this, an opening in which there is no door can and should be beautifully lined, after which, as they say, it will become the very “icing on the cake”.

Use of door extensions

The first question that the reader may have is: “Is it necessary to dismantle the door frame when ennobling the opening?”. It can be left, but only in one case - when the opening is improved with wooden extensions, and provided that the old box is installed evenly.

If the tree is worn out, it is better to remove it and level the opening with ordinary planed boards 15-20 mm thick. Their width is selected according to the thickness of the wall. The blank for the horizontal bar is sawn off along the width of the opening, and two side posts are cut out along its height, minus the thickness of the crossbar that will rest on their ends.

If the door slopes are uneven, then wooden wedges are inserted under the leveling strips, checking the correct position of their level. The gap formed between the board and the slope surface is filled mounting foam, let it dry, and only then proceed to cutting and installing decorative strips.
Their role is played by extensions used for facing slopes in deep openings that cannot be covered with a box. In our case, they are installed on top of an old box, or a frame from a board, which is done solely for the sake of alignment.

If the opening is even, then, in principle, it is possible to mount extensions directly to the base base. But then they will have to drill holes for dowels, which, no matter how you hide, will be visible. You can use decorative caps, but they are regularly lost, leaving the attachment points in plain sight.

Note! When the dobor is mounted to wooden box, then micro-studs can be used as fasteners, which go into the thickness of the plank and remain almost invisible. But for this you need such a tool, which you see in the photo above.

Cutting and installing extensions is performed similarly to the elements of the leveling frame. Now that you have perfectly even slopes, mounting the cladding on them with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears. The main thing is not to damage the front surface of the decorative strips when cutting.

In addition, it is very important to make high-quality cuts, which is not always possible when working with a hacksaw. It is best to use a miter saw for this purpose. It is simply indispensable in the case when the doorways are framed with stucco molding, which will be discussed in the next chapter.

Framing with polymer molding

Gypsum stucco molding today is used only for decorating rooms in the Rococo, Empire or Renaissance styles - and even then, designers have long interpreted them in a modern way. It is more difficult to work with gypsum, and the price of such a finish is higher, so the best alternative to it is polyurethane stucco, made in best traditions classical architecture.

Duropolymer vs Polyurethane: What's the Difference?

Relatively recently, such a thing as duropolymer stucco has appeared. What is it, and how does this material differ from polyurethane? And this is a composite that high pressure made from polystyrene. He has high density- and, accordingly, strength, which compares favorably with polystyrene.

The negative qualities of duropolymer products include a greater weight than polyurethane and a rather meager assortment. The advantage is excellent mechanical strength. This property is doubly valuable when it comes to, because it is clear that in the process of bringing dimensional furniture into the room, there is always a danger of hooking and damaging the decor.

In appearance, duropolymer lining is almost impossible to distinguish from polyurethane stucco molding. Such a kit, which you see in the picture above, costs about 3600-3700 rubles. To clad the opening on both sides, two of these sets are required, plus two long and one short inner panels.
Door frames made of polyurethane moldings are usually not sold as a set, but are made up of individual elements according to the customer's taste. It can be a composition of sandrik or cornice, moldings, which in this case play the role of platbands - as well as consoles, rustications and keystones. All details can be selected according to style and size, and alternate them when facing as you like.

To decorate the side surfaces of the slopes, as well as the walls adjacent to the opening, you can use panels that imitate beautiful bas-reliefs. Importantly, the flexibility of polyurethane products allows you to veneer not only straight, but also spherical surfaces, and in the vast majority, they are used today to design arches.
The selection of stucco cladding for openings allows you to show your imagination - but, of course, this should not be a chaotic set of details. The pattern of the opening needs to be well thought out, correlated with the decoration of the room as a whole, as well as the design of the door panels, if they are nevertheless installed.
Both duropolymer and polyurethane door decor are mounted in the same way: by adhesive method, on a flat, puttied and primed surface. Slope leveling can be done both wet and dry.

For example, if initially there was no opening in the wall, the metal frame, which is made for the purpose of reinforcement, can only be hidden under the plaster. Inflicted on steel mesh, in this case it is part of the technology, and is performed even when the walls in the room, and, accordingly, the openings, are sheathed with drywall (see).

A little about installation

A small instruction presented in this chapter will help you deal with the installation of polyurethane stucco. By and large, there is not much difference where exactly it is installed: on a wall, ceiling or in an opening - the technology will be the same.

So:

Before decorating openings, products must be adapted to environment , so they need a day or two to lie down indoors. Since the installation of the decor is carried out using adhesive, it is very important that the surfaces with which the adhesive will come into contact are clean. Therefore, it is desirable not only to remove dust from them, but also to degrease the back side of the products with a solvent (but not acetone).
Work should be carried out at temperatures above +10 degrees. Installation of stucco decoration is recommended to be carried out before proceeding with the finishing of ceilings and walls. When cutting moldings, it should be borne in mind that it takes about 10 cm of their length to cut corners. In this case, it is also necessary to keep in mind the repetition of the pattern, if any, on the front surface.

When working with polymer stucco, you should have tools such as a level, protractor, tape measure, furniture stapler, a set of rubber spatulas, a glue gun, a hacksaw, a miter saw, and a clerical knife at hand. Concerning Supplies, then you need to have two types of glue: mounting and docking.
It is very important that the plastered or puttied base on which the stucco molding will be glued dries well. Otherwise, the decor may peel off, which will ruin not only the work, but also the material. On the base base, the products are put on mounting glue, and when joining the decor elements together, they use glue.
Mounting adhesive is applied to the end of the stucco product with a layer about 5 mm thick. The stucco molding should be pressed tightly against the wall, and the excess that has come out should be immediately removed with a spatula. After joining the horizontal and vertical frame elements with glue, they are additionally fixed with metal brackets.

After about a day, but not earlier, it will be necessary to cut off the excess docking adhesive. This is perhaps the most painstaking work. It should be done very carefully, since the joints should not be visible - it depends appearance door frame. Products made of polyurethane are sold already primed for painting, so that after removing the glue, you can start puttying.

For this purpose, either a special elastic putty is used for finishing polyurethane, or a white adhesive, which, as a “two in one”, can be used both for mounting stucco and for finishing joints. After the puttied joints have dried, their surface needs to be sanded with fine sandpaper, dust removed - and you can start painting.

Exists various options doorway trim. They help to achieve harmony and stylish design premises. It must be borne in mind that these structures 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.

Ways of facing openings without door panels

Finishing a doorway without a door is carried out in two main options:

Standard. This technology provides for facing openings various materials without changing the design.
Arched. This method lies in the fact that the configuration of the opening changes - significantly or slightly.

Each of the methods requires compliance with certain rules, as well as accuracy.

Various types of materials for standard finishes

To decorate 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 performance and also very affordable. For laying, the method of landing on glue is often used. Panels are mainly faced with slopes. Other parts of the doorway are finished with other materials.

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

Everything is done like this:

Requires to leave the structure for a while to avoid displacement of elements. Now proceed to the elimination of external joints. If they are closed with plastic corners, as is done when facing windows, then a not very attractive effect may turn out. Therefore, it is better to perform putty with putty. Then you can start the subsequent finishing. For this, painting, wallpapering is carried out.

Should know! There are plastic platbands that are successfully combined with PVC panels. But pruning them is a very laborious task. The fact is that it is necessary to adjust the elements at an angle of 90 degrees.

The best replacement for PVC will be MDF panels. Finishing openings with such material goes well with other products. If it is required to perform cladding of structures in this way, in order to exclude the formation of visible joints, lamination is used.

stucco work

It is immediately worth noting that stucco molding is currently used, which is made of polyurethane. Unlike gypsum, this species The product is characterized by low weight. Its installation can be performed without the involvement of additional assistants. An important feature of this material is that it can be further processed. That is, it is easy to paint in different colors.

Finishing the opening is carried out according to a certain scheme:

All parts and glue are preliminarily kept in the room where the installation will be carried out for 24 hours. This will ensure that all elements get used to the existing microclimate.
The areas to be pasted over are carefully covered with a 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 that, it is possible to produce a general wall decoration.
The surfaces of the products are slightly rubbed with sandpaper. Next, glue is applied. It is evenly distributed on the wrong side of the fragments. Now the stucco is applied to the selected area and pressed well. To prevent the elements from slipping, small self-tapping screws are screwed under them.
If excess glue appears, then they are immediately removed. When this cannot be done immediately, then you can use acetone, which is moistened with a sponge.
An important point is the docking of elements. It can be carried out at a right angle (perpendicular installation), or trimming is performed, which is done at an angle of 45 degrees.
After cladding, joints appear. They are hidden with putty, which, after drying, is rubbed with sandpaper. Particular care should be taken when finishing between rooms, because it is required to provide for the location of parts on both sides.

Ennobling the doorway with stucco provides some nuances. This option is best suited 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 easy enough to overload the room so that the interior becomes simply spoiled.

Fake diamond

The use of artificial stone is a great 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 large decorative range. For example, clinker tiles are also used for cladding such structures, but their choice is rather limited.

On a note! It should be borne in mind that the concept of "artificial" does not belittle the merits of this product. The simulation is carried out with excellent accuracy. The texture and shades of natural stones are repeated.

Finishing the doorway with artificial stone

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

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

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

Facing is produced using various technologies. Often laying is carried out in a way that allows you to form uneven edges.

On a note! Currently, special elements have been developed that act as corner plates. They help you avoid overcutting.

Making the opening is quite simple:

Marking is carried out on the 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.
Wall surfaces are treated with primers that have deep penetration. This will improve adhesion. It is important to allow all areas to dry thoroughly.
Fixation can be carried out on a special adhesive for tiles or "liquid nails". The second option is suitable for those cases where the base has almost perfect evenness.
The composition is applied to the wrong side of the elements. It is important to remove any excess.
The stone is laid in ways that make it possible to form a seam or get by with a monolithic surface (without joints).
Details are seated in place and pressed. It is important to achieve a good grip.
If joints have been formed, then they are overwritten. The color of the mixture is selected contrasting or plain.

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

Plaster

Recently, this material has noticeably fallen in popularity. But as recently as ten years ago, this method seemed the most affordable. It's safe to say that many simply underestimate plaster. Indeed, this option has several significant drawbacks - the complexity of application (in the absence of experience) and the presence of a certain amount of "dirt". But if you do all the work correctly, as well as achieve a combination with other products, then the effect will pleasantly surprise you.

How to decorate a doorway without a door by plastering:

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

Such a surface can be painted. But it is better if the plaster acts as a starting composition. Then the finishing can be a decorative (textured) putty. It is applied in a certain order, which allows you to get amazing coverage. Such doorways will become an interior decoration.

Arch device

The arch can transform the interior. It is important to understand that a device of this design requires a certain amount of experience. Indeed, in order to finish the doorway exclusively with your own hands, you will need to expend a lot of effort.

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

Arched doorway

The most simple are the arches made of drywall. It looks like this:

Finishing doorways begins with the installation of the frame on both sides. It is fixed on the upper horizontal and vertical racks. On the latter, it has a size that is almost equal to the end of the rounding.
GKL parts are fixed to the frame. An arc is pre-cut on them, for this a stencil is made.
Inside the resulting structure, an additional crate is performed. It serves to fasten the last arc-shaped drywall element.
The final finish is done with putty. Decorative cladding produced in various materials.

The arch can be done with more "noble" products, but will require more skill.

Other ways of registration

The design of doorways can be performed by other methods. They consist in the use of decorative curtains or screens. This method is very affordable and simple. In addition, it requires almost no work to be done.

Various options can be used:

Fabric curtains. They will be a great addition to any interior. The composition should be made in such a way that there is harmony with other elements and a combination with window decoration.
Bamboo curtains. This option is suitable when the room is made in eco style.
Thread curtains. These products are used if they want to fill the room with unusualness.

Of course, how to decorate the opening, everyone is chosen based on their taste and preferences.

What can be done with an opening equipped with a door

Deciding how to make a doorway that has door leaf, involves the use of the most simple options. The only difference is where this structure is located.

A simple arrangement of interior space

The most affordable option for finishing interior openings is the installation of a box and adjacent elements. The general technology is:

The box is installed. It can be equipped with a threshold or be without it.
As materials that will veneer the slopes, dobors are used. They are issued standard size(up to 120-150 mm).
These elements are attached due to the groove that is on the box. If such design feature not provided, then the fixation is carried out on self-tapping screws. A hole for them is drilled through the end of the part.
External decoration is made at the expense of platbands that frame the opening.

This option is great for situations where it is required to complete the cladding of not very wide structures.

Other options

How to ennoble a doorway that has a door in a more original way? In fact, to truly create interesting option, it is necessary to try. The fact is that it is the hinged canvas that limits the use different materials. Improper use of finishing products - prevents opening. Although, given this feature, almost everything is suitable for exterior decoration.

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

How to finish a doorway? This question has many answers that 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.

Starting repairs in their own apartment, the owners try to use all possible design techniques to increase the space of small rooms. To this end, many refuse to install interior doors, thus combining several rooms together. This solution allows you to expand the boundaries of the room and make it more spacious. But how to arrange a doorway without a door, so that it becomes a real decoration of the interior, we will consider in our article.

Opening design options

So, if you decide to refresh your interior by opening, then first we recommend that you decide on its future shape. It can remain rectangular, acquire the shape of an arch, or acquire additional corners. In any case, the design of the interior passage should fit well into the interior of both rooms. That is why you should not immediately go to the store for finishing materials, which in the end will become completely useless.

In order to successfully arrange a doorway without a door with your own hands, first of all, you should sketch out a sketch of the future design. Consider the most popular ways to design passages between adjacent rooms.

Openings in the form of a portal

This is the most popular and the simplest design that can be done. with my own hands. In this case, the entrance retains a rectangular shape, but is complemented by a more massive finish with a variety of decorative elements.

Usually, to arrange such an opening, it is necessary to remove, dismantle the box and remove all structural elements former door. The resulting passage is leveled and finished with selected materials. Rectangular openings are suitable for both small and large rooms, while their design style is most often strict and restrained.

Archways

Doorways-arches most often have a classic shape. In this design option, the arch arch is made in the form of a semicircle, the radius of which is equal to half the width of the passage itself. Oval openings are quite popular and easy to perform. However, before choosing this option, pay attention to the height of the ceilings in your apartment. In rooms where the height of the walls does not exceed two meters, it is strongly not recommended to make a rounded opening, as it will visually lower the ceiling even more.

Here it is better to give preference to an arch in the form of an ellipse. This option is optimal for rooms with low ceilings, as the special shape of the vault allows you to visually increase the height of the walls.

Openings of irregular shapes

If simple shapes do not satisfy the requests of the owners, you can experiment and create a more complex version. Since there are no strict rules in modern interior design, the shape of the passage can be the most unusual and even slightly bizarre.

Often in the form of a trapezoid, triangle, semicircle and various asymmetric configurations, with oblique slopes to one side. A combination of several figures is also possible. For example, when a rectangular portal is complemented by rounded corners of various radii. This design is used only in cases where the width of the doorway is more than 80 cm.

Often in modern design projects you can see unusual openings equipped with spotlights, side shelves or bar counters. This approach not only decorates the room, but also makes the passage between the rooms a functional element of the interior.

Designs decorated with colored glass, stained glass or mosaic fragments deserve special attention. It is very difficult to perform such a design on your own, therefore, in most cases, this work is entrusted to professionals. It should be noted that complex and figured arches can only be installed in cases where the width of the doorway is greater than the standard one. Most often, this design is used in studio apartments. In small and low rooms, it is better to give preference to a strict classical style.

After you have clearly decided on what shape your passage will be, you can proceed to its decoration and the choice of decorating elements. Let's start with the choice of material.

Design options

Thinking about how to decorate a doorway without a door, study all possible options finishes and choose the one that best suits your interior.

Today, the following materials are actively used for these purposes:

Decorative rock;

Polyurethane;

Decorative plaster;

Plastic;

What each material is and how it can be used to design a doorway, we will consider in more detail.

Tree

The most noble and spectacular is the finish with the participation of natural wood. The most valuable woods such as ash, oak, mahogany and hornbeam can be used here.

These types are presentable and durable, but too difficult to process and have a high price tag. That is why pine products are the most popular today. It has an acceptable cost, is quite durable, has a beautiful structure and, most importantly, can be easily processed with hand tools.

Such arches are sold in the form of finished products, which can only be installed in the right place.

As an alternative to natural wood, you can use MDF panels. They are lightweight, affordable and available in a wide range of colors.

Plastic panels

Plastic trim refers to economical options for decorating openings. The material is quite easy to work with, as it does not require preliminary preparation of the base and is attached to ordinary liquid nails.

Despite its simplicity, plastic panels look very presentable. They emphasize the severity of the interior and create a contrast in the opening area against the background of the walls adjacent to it. This design is also convenient because the plastic is resistant to moisture, which means it can be used near the kitchen. Anyone can finish with plastic, because even if any mistakes are made, the damaged element can be easily replaced.

Polyurethane

If you are wondering how to beautifully decorate a doorway without a door, pay attention to polyurethane decor. This is a fairly dense, but at the same time flexible material, which is used to create an imitation of heavy and expensive gypsum stucco. This design looks very attractive, while it is much cheaper than tiles and decorative stone.

Polyurethane stucco is attached with a special adhesive to a wide variety of surfaces. The light weight of the material allows it to be used even on drywall constructions. Initially decorative elements are white, but can be subsequently dyed any shade.

With the help of this material, the doorway can be decorated with rounded or square columns, expanding upwards. If the room small size or massive elements simply do not fit into its design, you can decorate the walls with more elegant moldings from the same material.

Fake diamond

Decorative stone is distinguished by its ability to bring sophistication to the interior and emphasize the high wealth and good taste of the owner. Today in the construction market you can find a lot of varieties of this finishing material differing in color and texture. Of course, such a finish cannot be called economical, but these costs are justified, because artificial stone in the interior always looks luxurious.

Decorating a doorway with a decorative stone will require a lot of effort, but the result is always impressive. In most cases, they are lined not only with the passage, but also with part of the walls adjacent to it. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical design can be used here. If the doorways are located close to each other, they can be decorated in the same style. The smoothly transitional lining from one opening to another looks spectacular.

If you decide to use artificial stone in the interior of your apartment, pay attention to the weight of the material you have chosen. Some types can greatly weight the doorway, which makes it impossible to use them on plasterboard structures. In this case, it is better to give preference to gypsum options.

How to make stone trim yourself?

1. First you need to prepare the walls. If there are large irregularities on the surface of the base, they are eliminated with putty.

2. Next, proceed to kneading the glue. If light options were chosen for facing the opening, they are attached to ordinary liquid nails. Heavier varieties, like clinker tiles, are fixed to a mortar of cement, glue, lime and sand.

3. Facing the opening starts from the lowest section of the wall. The product is set according to the level, smeared with glue and pressed tightly against the wall. If you do not want to additionally seal the stone joints in the corner parts of the opening, the material must be overlapped. The brick of the first row is placed close to the opening, and the element of the next row is shifted inward, at a distance equal to the thickness of the finishing material. Thus, alternating rows, the design of the opening is performed.

Curtains

If in the near future your plans do not include apartment renovation, but you really want to bring fresh notes to the interior, be smart - hang curtains on the doorway. This move will simultaneously decorate and, if necessary, hide the passage between the rooms.

Fabric curtains look good on openings of absolutely any geometry. The main thing - Special attention pay attention to the choice of colors and textures so that they harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. Otherwise, there are no restrictions. can be weighty with lambrequins, drapery, or discreet and light.
