How to arrange an opening in an apartment. Opening without a door: a variety of design and decoration options (54 photos)

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

Why do openings open?

1. In some buildings, open doorways are part of a load-bearing wall. You cannot remove it, all that remains is to decorate it or turn it into a built-in wardrobe or a niche.
2. 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.
3. In open-plan rooms, such openings divide the territory into functional zones.

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

The shape of the door niches

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

• Arched construction. It can have a rounded, trapezoidal, ellipsoidal vault, etc. Such an opening visually expands the space, so it is beneficial to do it in narrow rooms. In principle, using drywall is possible.

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

• Imitation of an arch. In appearance, it is similar to an arch, but is made from semi-circular ready-made segments that can be bought at any store. They are fixed in the corners of the niche and decorated in any way.

How to highlight an arched opening

Decorating 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 using drywall: ellipsoidal, slope to one side, curly entrance with shelves, etc.

How to divert attention from a doorway

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

1. Will help to make the entrance "invisible" drywall without additional finishing, that is, painted white. Many hang over such an opening a cornice with curtains, decorated with bright patterns and interesting prints that will distract attention to themselves.
2. Wicker framing in the form of lambrequins made of thick threads will also help to blend in with the overall interior.

How to finish a doorway with stone

Decorating a door arch with stone is a great option for:

1. Large, spacious rooms;
2. Premises with a small amount of furniture;
3. 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: get rid of the old coating, plastered and primed.
• On the wall, markings are made for a decorative stone, making the drawing larger from below, less 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.
• The artificial stone is glued to the wall with tile glue 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 end-to-end to the casing.

Advice! Sharp corners can be sanded with sandpaper to make the masonry look more organic.

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

Interior decoration MDF

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

• In the doorway, it is necessary to seal 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 platband 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.

• You can now cut the plank for the top slope using the jigsaw. Using self-tapping screws, we attach it to the rails.
• The side slopes are installed in the same way.
• Further, decorative corners are glued along the perimeter of the opening, and then they are closed with a platband.
• The gaps between the slopes are sealed with wood-colored putty.

Decorating a doorway with plastic

This is one of the most affordable and inexpensive finishing methods. 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 influences, it is easy to clean. There are two ways to install such panels:

1. By analogy with MDF boards, i.e. fasten to a wooden frame. However, in this way, you can easily damage the texture of the plastic.
2. 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... It can be made of plaster and polyurethane. The first option is practically not used today, because such panels are very heavy, difficult to install, besides, it is a very fragile material, if dropped, it will simply break. Polyurethane does not differ in appearance from gypsum, but it is lighter and is glued to any surface using liquid nails.

However, this method of decoration is not very appropriate in small apartments with narrow doorways. Polyurethane stucco molding is produced in white, later it can be painted with ordinary water-based paint in any color.

Gispsokarton. With the help of it, a niche can be given any shape and a perfectly smooth surface can be obtained. 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 putty in three layers. Then the opening can be pasted over with wallpaper or painted with paint to match the main walls.

Natural wood. 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 types of wood, varnishing it like an 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 for how to make it fit into the style of your home and transform the room for the better, just show your imagination, use our advice.

When carrying out repair work, non-standard, creative ideas for the reconstruction of the premises arise. It is worth considering one of these options - the design of an open one.

Should you make an open doorway?

The presence of an open doorway will be an excellent solution for equipment. Having beaten this option, you can zone the room. That being said, there is no need to worry about shape or size restrictions. Thinking about the shape of a doorway, it is worth noting that two of them are often used: a classic rectangle, an arch, or its imitation. Each of the proposed options can be played up and made as original as possible. To do this, it is worth considering what materials it is possible to use to frame the doorway.

The presence of an arch is welcomed if the rooms connecting it are made in the same style, which cannot be said about a rectangular opening. The latter refers to a separate room and is an addition to it. A high or wide doorway can be decorated with an imitation of an arch. The framing of such an arch can be made in an oriental style with the presence of openwork internal segments and trimming of the corners. Framing a doorway made of polyurethane is considered the simplest and most affordable. Elements of this kind will become a light, beautiful and durable decoration of the opening.

Framing the doorway with stucco molding allows you to give the design a special style that matches the room. It can be: rococo, modern, empire. Often, white stucco molding is used, but if desired, it can be replaced with a colored one.

Another interesting option is the frame of the doorway made of wood. Such panels can be decorated with wood carvings. This technique allows you to apply any image in the form of: figures, animals, plants, birds. This is a rather rare type of framing, as it requires the help of specialists, but the result is worth it.

Framing the doorway with a stone is possible if this material matches the overall interior. Such an opening should be laid out with material on both sides. An uneven edge can give a casual and more natural look.

In order to frame the doorway with a corner correctly, diamond cutting should be carried out. This method will help keep the edges straight.

One of the most common options for visually increasing the space in a room is to dismantle interior doors. This solution allows you to visually expand the premises, create a single space in the interior. In this case, an important task arises - finishing the doorway. In this article, we have collected the most popular and non-trivial ways to solve this issue.

Opening preparation

The preparation process for the work surface differs due to the materials chosen as finishing materials.

Types of materials for finishing

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

• you should not skimp on the quantity and quality of fasteners (for example, if you make a crate of wooden bars, then you need to look at them for the presence of mold, rot and large cracks);
• when purchasing materials packaged in different boxes, you should check the consignments, if they differ, then the shade of the content may also differ;
• the durability of the material, its ability to withstand daily contact with various external influences - this is what all masters should think about first of all.

Using the example of the most popular options for finishing a doorway, we will consider in more detail the workflow for each of them.

Plaster

This option can be called the most popular due to the simplicity of work and the practicality of using the finishing material.

The only thing that should be taken care of before starting finishing is to cover the floor with foil or newspapers so as not to damage or contaminate the surface.

1. Work begins with the preparation of the opening: cleaning from old materials and priming the surface.
2. Installation of beacons (you should mix a little mortar and fix the perforated corners on the walls, setting them at the building level).
3. A masonry reinforcing mesh is attached between the corners.
4. The building mixture is prepared in the required quantity.
5. Using several spatulas, the mixture is applied to the walls in a chaotic manner, after which it is smoothed over the surface using a rule.

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

If everything is observed, it remains to wait until the surface is dry, and you can proceed to the finishing: painting, wallpapering or applying decorative mixtures.

Clinker tiles, mosaics

This material is intended for cladding a wide variety of areas of a residential building, including the doorway. There are no special installation rules, options are offered depending on the interior design:

Facing a doorway with tiles or mosaics does not require special tools or special skills, the workflow consists of step-by-step actions:

1. after the surfaces are cleaned and plastered, it is necessary to apply markings, according to which the tile will be located in the doorway;
2. prepare a special glue (liquid nails are used only in cases where the surface is perfectly flat);
3. apply glue with a spatula to the back of the tile, distribute it over the surface, remove excess;
4. press the tile against the wall and hold for a few seconds, applying force.

In order for the products to be fixed evenly on the surface of the opening, plastic glazing beads should be prepared in advance, which are inserted into the seams between the tiles. It is removed after the glue mass has hardened not earlier than after 24 hours.

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

When the opening is completely refined, the seams between the tiles are sealed with special grouts, the color of which is matched to the tone of the walls or finishing materials.

Decorative rock

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

• exact imitation of natural rocks, with a lot of varieties of textures: marble, limestone, jasper, brick, wood cut and many others.
• tolerates high humidity without consequences;
• easy to clean, because does not require the use of special products to remove dirt from the surface;
• resistant to mechanical damage if the rules of installation are observed.

The installation process is very similar to laying clinker tiles, 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 the glue mass;
• when purchasing a finishing material, inspect several pieces from the back side, if there are many pores on the surface, they have a 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 rocks, crushed into crumbs. Such products are distinguished by their weight and strength under direct mechanical stress.
2. Artificial. It is based on gypsum, to which dyes and polymers are added. The main advantage is the low price, which fluctuates around 300-800 rubles per square meter.

Wooden panels, MDF

An equally popular option for finishing door slopes is wood or MDF panels, laminated under wood, which harmoniously fit into the classic style. The benefits include:

• aesthetics;
• durability;
• no visible defects in contact with water.

The process of installing panels made of wood or MDF will require you to purchase additional materials - wooden slats, which will be used as lathing:

1. The slats are cut to fit the width of the opening and attached with dowels and self-tapping screws to the walls.
2. The panels are also adjusted to the opening with a small offset, which is hidden by an end corner.
3. The launch pad is secured with finishing nails.
4. All subsequent panels are attached through a tongue-groove (connection system present on the products).
5. From the end, the structure is closed by a side panel - a casing, which is fastened with nails to the lathing or end corner.

Photo instructions for finishing the opening with MDF panels

To hide the fasteners, you can use special furniture wax or adhesive plugs, matching them to the color of the panels.

Such a finish will look rich, even if inexpensive MDF panels with textured patterns imitating exotic woods were used.

Laminate

Many finishers love laminate flooring for its flexibility, which makes it possible to sheathe almost any openings, corners and nooks found in living quarters with this material. The only thing worth worrying about is that it does not tolerate moisture well and, after contact with water, swellings may form at the ends of the products, and such defects are not eliminated.

The laminate is fastened with self-tapping screws to the crate in the same way as finishing with PVC or MDF panels.

If the walls are relatively flat, then you can use liquid nails and spacers, which will press the material against the surface of the walls for several hours.

Stucco molding - gypsum and polyurethane foam

One of the most interesting, but in its own way capricious materials is stucco molding. Using it in the interior for finishing the doorway, you should maintain a single concept of the overall design, fit into the style that is inherent in columns, pilasters with capitals and other similar decorative elements.

Stucco molding on the opening should be combined with other interior elements, such as floor and ceiling skirting boards

There are two types of stucco molding on the construction market:

1. Plaster. Without it, it is impossible to imagine the interiors of country houses, made in the Venetian or classical style. But in small apartments, such products seem too bulky, the interior openings narrow not only visually, but also in fact. Plus, gypsum is a very heavy and fragile material; under mechanical stress, it will not last long.
2. Artificial, or rather polyurethane, is an affordable analogue of gypsum.

The advantages of polyurethane foam decor include:

• ease of construction;
• ease of installation: products are easily cut with a clerical knife and attached to liquid nails;
• a variety of ready-made forms;
• the surface of the polyurethane is suitable for painting.

Stucco molding looks perfect in the frame of a doorway with an arch, especially if the width allows you to erect monolithic column supports along the edges.

Doorway shapes

Decorating openings between rooms without a door is difficult not only by the choice of the material used, but also by the shape of this opening.

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

Rectangular

A common option is rectangular. Such an opening remains immediately after dismantling the door frame and it has its advantages:

• suitable for all finishing materials;
• no additional structures are required;
• clearly delineates two living quarters, for example, a balcony and a kitchen, while visually expanding both;
• great for modern interior design styles.

A wide rectangular opening allows you to use the slopes as niches for interior items

Arched

The arch has an interesting ability: in rooms with low ceilings, it visually increases them, and in cases with high ceilings, on the contrary, lowers them. Moreover, the wider the arch-shaped opening, the lower the ceiling appears.

Many people prefer this option for its softness, the absence of sharp corners, this makes the transitions between rooms more invisible. The arch fits perfectly when entering the hall, if it is wide enough, movement between rooms will be invisible.

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

A nice addition are ready-made solutions - arch-type extensions, prepared for installation in doorways.

Completions and developed edging of the opening emphasize the complex shape of the opening, making it a visual accent

Trapezoidal

This form is used very rarely, this is due to the fact that in small areas such a solution has the opposite effect: the room does not expand, and the ceiling visually lowers. Especially in cases where the upper horizontal part of the trapezoid is too narrow. One might get the impression that when designing the opening they wanted to make an arch, but they did not have enough strength and skills.

Such an opening looks good when it matches the shape of the room behind it, as in this picture

The polygon will fit well into the transition where double-leaf interior doors were planned or were installed. With the help of drywall, you can easily and effortlessly turn a rectangular gap into a smooth trapezoid, fixing it at the corners of the opening.

Asymmetric

The doorway, which embodies the fantasies of the owners of the living quarters, is the asymmetrical shape. Designers love her for her ability to bring the most amazing solutions to life. The opening ceases to be the border of two rooms, it turns into the decoration of the apartment, into that element that attracts the eye and emphasizes the given style.

An asymmetric opening is a highlight of any interior

However, here, too, there are nuances that many forget about and encounter difficulties in the process of work:

• you cannot undertake the expansion of the opening without creating a project, which will take into account all the possibilities of load-bearing walls and floors;
• sharp corners and sharp shapes have a negative psychological effect on others; it is necessary to minimize the presence of irritating factors as much as possible so that the refined openings serve as its advantage, and not a disadvantage.

Curtain decoration

A simple but very interesting option for decorating a doorway with curtains is a look into the past. Several decades ago, people delimited living space in this way, decorating the passage with wooden or fabric curtains. The desired effect was achieved: the boundaries of the room were visually outlined, while the space was not closed.

Curtain - a simple and effective solution

But such solutions are still popular now, but the variety of shapes and materials has become much larger. Most often, bamboo sticks are used, which are very durable and make a pleasant sound when colliding with each other. You can paint them yourself in the desired shade or choose a ready-made version for your interior.

You can use curtains anywhere, even on the border of the hallway with the bathroom, although it is a little intimate, but if the homeowners are interested in this option, then why not experiment.

Door structures take up extra space and are not cheap. Maybe it’s worth giving up on them, and not spending either square meters or extra money? In order not to lose in design due to the absence of a door, you can make a decorative frame for the opening.

Ennobling with dobram

It will not be possible to simply dismantle the door leaves and leave the opening in this form. The hinges and box won't look pretty. Therefore, the opening will have to be revetted or redone so that it is pleasing to the eye.

Outdated doors can be simply removed

Extras are perfect for this. Installing wooden fittings on the opening instead of the door will allow you to leave the old frame. It is not necessary to dismantle it, too, if it does not interfere with revealing the opening and sits tightly.

If the box is already worn out and wobbly, then it is better to remove it and use other boards, wider. The dimensions of the board depend on the thickness of the wall, but note that it is better to use a solid board for the wall of the opening. The principle is the same as for the frame. Vertical boards are cut to a thickness of the board less than the height of the opening to assemble a new additional frame.

Additional boards

It happens that the opening is not entirely flat. You cannot do extras without checking the level of the walls. If there are irregularities, then the structure is leveled using wedges. After leveling the boards with wooden wedges, gaps are formed between them and the wall of the opening, which are filled with polyurethane foam and left to dry.

The polyurethane foam and gaps will be covered with a decorative strip. If there are no gaps between the wall and the addons, then the addons themselves play the role of the decorative strip. If the old frame is not dismantled, the extensions are attached directly to it with self-tapping screws. The hole and the cap from the screws will have to be hidden in some way, which is not always possible. You can use dowels and cover them with wooden plugs.

Attention! H So that the attachment points of the add-ons to the frame are not visible, you can use small stud fasteners, which are sunk into the thickness of the board. Such fasteners are not striking, but to work with them, you will need a special tool.

Installation of additional elements is similar to the installation of a leveling frame. After they get smooth slopes, you can easily revet them with a topcoat. The main thing when cutting out pieces of facing material is precision and calmness.

It is not always possible to achieve even cuts with a hacksaw, so it is better to arm yourself with a miter saw. This tool is also useful if you want to revet the opening with stucco molding.

Stucco

Another way to beautify a doorway is to use stucco molding. It is difficult to imagine what it is by its name, but ideas may arise in my head that it is being molded with hands, and these are the right thoughts. This technology was used for a long time by the Venetian wealthy, who decorated their palaces and houses with plaster. This method of interior decoration, popular in the past, is still used today. The method is yes, but not the way. Gypsum is no longer used by anyone for these purposes.

Polyurethane stucco molding

A technological material - polyurethane - brought it out of use. And the finishing itself is no longer done by hand. The stores sell finished polyurethane products that are attached to the wall of the opening. The choice of patterns, sizes and colors is great, but the white finish remains the true leader.

Stucco molding is a kind of decor element that needs to be combined with interior design. Most often, this finish is used in classic styles.

If you are afraid that the stucco molding will attract undue attention, use products with a shallow relief. Large drawings and complex patterns make the decor heavier; they are intended for spacious rooms.

Stuccoed arch

Corners

There is another way to decorate openings - corners. The plastered surface has an unpleasant feature - it crumbles over time. And the corners of walls and openings remain in places subject to mechanical stress, which entails their abrasion and destruction.

Therefore, corners are used for protection and at the same time decoration. Depending on the direct purpose, perforated corners and decorative ones are distinguished. Perforated corners are also called plaster corners, because they are mounted on a convex corner of the opening even before plastering. The perforated corner gives strength to the structure and increases the service life of the coating.

Perforated corner protects structures from destruction

Perforated products are made of galvanized metal. When installed, they can be given any shape, bent to the desired radius, which allows them to be used to strengthen the arched structure. Perforated parts are attached to self-tapping screws. Then they are putty, plaster, covered with paint or other facing material.

Decorative profiles do not have a direct purpose to ensure the durability of the coating; this is a kind of bonus for this decorative element. Decorative elements are attached to PVC glue or liquid nails. Decorative corners are made of wood or plastic.

Wood profiles are suitable for a small list of styles - classic or country. The wood is easy to grip with glue, it is easy to maintain and clean. But there is one feature - the rigidly defined shape of the product. When a person makes an arch with his own hands, it is more than likely that he will get not a standard, but a unique arch, with its own radius, arc length and other characteristic values. Therefore, wooden products are used only if it is possible to choose corners of the desired size and shape.

Plastic corners are more common. They are matte or glossy, in different shades, and often imitate wood. White products are more popular, it suits any interior.

Plastic slope corners

What are the benefits of using plastic products? Plastic can be given any shape, with little effort, change the angle of the arc by 3-4 degrees without the risk of damaging the structure. Plastic decor elements are easily attached. For this, liquid nails or mounting glue are suitable. Note that the use of plastic products for framing the opening will help protect the walls from abrasion and destruction.

It is impossible to glue the plastic corners over the wallpaper, such a fastening is unreliable. Therefore, you will have to prepare the surface in advance and remove unnecessary sections of the wallpaper. To do this, measure the width of the profile, subtract 3-5 millimeters from it. Cutting off a strip of the same width is not entirely advisable, because flaws may arise in the process. Somewhere a little less or more is cut off. If the wallpaper will slightly go under the strip, the decor will turn out to be more aesthetically pleasing.

Then the surface is cleaned of dust and dirt, after which glue is applied to the corner surface with a thin layer. It is applied to the surface of the wall and then removed. The glue will not grab immediately, you need to wait 5 minutes, then attach the corner again and fix it in this position with masking tape.

When framing an arched structure, you will need to bend the plastic angle by a certain degree. A construction hairdryer will help with this. Under a stream of hot air, the plastic corner will heat up, and it will be possible to bend it without damage.

Important! Do not use open fire to bend the plastic corner.

Opening framing serves two important functions. This is an interior decoration designed to emphasize the contours and lines of the opening and, instead, additional protection of the opening from mechanical stress.

Sometimes it happens that after the redevelopment, an opening remains in the wall. Of course, hardly anyone wants to leave this hole in this state. Therefore, they carry out the framing of the doorway.

If you decorate this hole beautifully, it will turn from a gloomy hole into a compositional center of the room. And the framing of the doorway can be done in different ways.

First, openings are used to provide the building with rigidity. Sometimes, in typical old buildings, load-bearing walls are not installed in the most convenient places. Due to technical requirements, such walls cannot be demolished. Therefore, the tenants can only play with the existing openings, decorating and ennobling them.

Secondly, openings allow you to unite the space. For example, a kitchen can be combined with a living room, an office with a bedroom, etc. And the resulting passage in the wall can be decorated with a decorating material.

Thirdly, openings are used for room zoning. This option provides for the construction of walls with open openings in large rooms. According to the designers, this approach is extremely beneficial: there are no restrictions on the size and shape of the hole in the wall, and no approval is required from the local supervisory authorities (in all other cases, such approval is required).

Opening shape

Before you make a doorway in the wall, you should decide in advance on its shape. Usually choose from the following options:

• rectangular passage;
• arch;
• imitation of an arch.

As a rule, the rectangular version provides for an addition in the form of a door leaf, the design of which should correspond to the general concept of the interior of the room. The decor of such a hole in the wall is carried out using cashing: it can be made of MDF, plastic or wood (it all depends on the material from which the door system is made).

However, in cases where a rectangular opening is left without a door, it must be decorated. Appropriate decor (for example, polyurethane elements) will allow you to shift the emphasis from an unattractive design to one or another bright design detail.

The arch is appropriate if the two connected rooms are decorated in the same style. The parameters of such a passage can be very diverse: it all depends on the characteristics of the room and the wishes of the homeowner. Such an opening can be decorated with a dovetail, or polyurethane decor can be used.

The basic rule when choosing a finishing material for an arch: the external framing should in no way make the structure heavier. However, if desired, even a door can be installed in the arched opening (it will have to be made to order).

An imitation of an arch is performed when designing a wide and high rectangular opening. For this, arched segments are fixed at the upper inner corners (they can be made of polyurethane or other suitable material). This option for framing the opening is a good solution for a room, the design of which is decorated in a Slavic or oriental style.

But regardless of the shape of the open opening, the frame chosen for it plays a very important role: it can either accentuate the border between the two rooms, or "dissolve" it.

To attract attention

The easiest way to decorate this structure is to clad with polyurethane elements. It is worth noting that, by and large, polyurethane stucco molding is a durable and lightweight decoration overnight. This decor looks very beautiful. And the polyurethane stucco molding is attached quite simply: for this, special glue is used.

Moreover, the decor made of polyurethane is not afraid of extreme temperatures and aggressive environments. It will not lose its valuable properties at temperatures of - 60 degrees or + 80 degrees. In addition, this decor is not subject to the negative effects of moisture and ultraviolet radiation.

The use of polyurethane in the design of the opening allows you to create an incredible design. Moreover, the created design can correspond to one or another style solution in which the interior is decorated: baroque, empire, modern, etc. If desired, the frame of the doorway, made using polyurethane stucco molding, can be painted in any shade: the created design will be simply stunning.

You can draw attention to the design by decorating a passage in the wall with wooden panels (an extension or other element). For example, a design can be created using whole themed images of birds, predatory animals, trees, etc. Moreover, each such element - the decor should overlap with the rest of the details that convey the main style solution of the room.

Moreover, the framing of the doorway can be done with ceramic tiles or decorative stone: the design is amazing. If you sheathe a hole made in the wall with this facing material, the room will be transformed beyond recognition.

Red herring

If you wish, you can "hide" the doorway: they do this using a special decor - textiles. Designers recommend using the following "finishing elements":

1. Curtains.
   It is important to pay attention to the fact that the curtains can be both symmetrical and asymmetrical (the length of the canvases is different).
2. Lambrequins.
   This decor can be used either alone or in conjunction with curtains.

Moreover, a wicker frame or thread curtains will help to create a unique design.

Knowing how to ennoble a doorway, you can work miracles. One has only to choose the right finishing material and revet the passage in the wall with it, and the design of the room will change beyond recognition.
