A known problem is small apartments. A good solution - sliding doors - is not always suitable: sometimes there is so little space that all the walls are filled with furniture and there is nowhere to move the panel. But if the partition is not load-bearing and can be partially dismantled, then there is still an option: sliding doors that slide into the wall.

Structurally, built-in interior doors are no different from compartment doors; they are based on the same components: a door leaf (one or two), guide rails, carriages with rollers and fittings. If desired, an electric drive. The only difference is that when opened, the canvas is hidden from view. In the converted section of the wall there is a cassette into which the door slides on rollers.

The canvas itself can be anything: wood, glass, plastic. You can choose an option that will be in perfect harmony with the rest of the doors and the interior as a whole. The roller mechanism is also no different from the standard one.

The difference is in the fittings: locks and handles should not interfere with the movement of the canvas into the wall. You need to decide on handles and locks in advance. If the sliding door goes completely into the wall, you will need a lock with a button to close it.

The second difference is that sliding doors that slide into the wall require more energy-intensive installation than compartment doors. It is necessary to dismantle part of the wall, fix the cassette, cover the structure with gypsum board and complete the repair with finishing. There will be a lot of construction waste, you need to prepare for this in advance.

It is better to buy built-in doors into the wall complete with a cassette. Buying an additional cassette later and installing it separately will be too expensive and energy-intensive. The pencil case door kit already includes everything you need - the door leaf, mechanism, fittings and cassette.

Attention: the pencil cases are different for partitions made of brick and plasterboard. This needs to be clarified when purchasing.

Installation sequence

1. Check the verticality of the walls and carefully calculate the opening (two widths of the canvas).

2. Dismantle the required area, if possible without unnecessary destruction.

3. Process the opening, seal the cracks.

4. Install the pencil case and secure it with mortgages. The upper mortgages will serve to securely fix the canvas, preventing movement of the structure.

5. Sew up the cassette with plasterboard: the top edge is placed along the enclosing box.

6. Install built-in doors and fittings.

7. Finish the wall.

8. Install platbands.

Sliding doors sliding into the wall - good option save space occupied by a regular door, but take away 10 centimeters of room thickness due to the cassette. Therefore, the ideal option for installing them is to install built-in doors instead of self-supporting walls.

Since the times of the Soviet past, many have remained convinced that in a typical apartment of an old panel house it is almost impossible to make fundamental changes to the furnishings. Today, such doom no longer threatens the creation of a comfortable and stylish interior!

Choosing interior doors is not as easy a task as it might seem. What material and what type of construction to choose, and how to correctly fit the door into the design of the room - read our detailed article. Selection best photos attached.

Interior doors are, of course, an extremely important design element of any room and apartment as a whole. After all, it is the doors that connect two spaces that should be in harmony with both rooms, regardless of whether they are made in the same general style or inspired by completely different ideas.

So, when during the renovation process you are faced with the question of choosing interior doors, you should pay attention to a few basic rules.

1. Naturally, ideal option doors will be made from natural materials. We will not tire of repeating that good material- this is not only an aesthetic choice, but also the basis for the longevity of a particular design element, and this indicator can more than recoup the costs. When it comes to choosing interior doors, the best choice is doors made of solid wood or natural veneer.
2. High-quality coating is another point that is worth paying close attention to. Exactly high-quality coating will help extend the service life of the door without losing its attractive appearance appearance. In addition, high-quality varnish or laminate is also a matter of health!
3. Pay attention to the fit of all door elements: there should be no unnecessary gaps at the junction of individual parts, such as grilles, frames, glass inserts or other materials.
4. Correct geometry is what matters! Only minor discrepancies of a few millimeters are acceptable, otherwise you risk developing certain problems with installation and operation in the future.
5. Remember that the door frame must have a seal, and if glass is used in the decoration, then it must be of sufficient quality to adequately withstand all operating conditions!

​

Deciding on the material

Fiberboard

Doors made from fibreboard, or in other words fiberboard, are a relatively cheap option. Unlike chipboard, which contains formaldehyde resins, which release toxic fumes over time, fiberboard is a more environmentally friendly material. It consists of slabs made from pressed wood dust, the wood particles in which are steamed during the production of the slabs, and therefore they speak of production by wet pressing.

Don’t think that fiberboard doors look like back walls Soviet wall cabinets. During the production of doors, fiberboard is refined by pressing with special dyes. In addition, the material goes through a so-called strengthening process, which also has a positive effect on its external and functional qualities.

In general, fiberboard doors are good economical choice, which has a number of other advantages: doors made of fiberboard are resistant to moisture and are strong enough to serve you for a long time.

MDF

MDF is an excellent compromise between the price of a product and its quality. Not only is MDF environmentally friendly pure material, so in addition to everything else, it has an excellent texture that allows you to make any kind of carved elements. Therefore, if you want a door with interesting decor, MDF will cope with this task perfectly.

MDF can be an excellent “filling” for an interior door. Exterior finishing in this case, it can be made, for example, from natural veneer. If you are considering more budget options, then you can opt for finishing with artificial veneer or lamination.

In addition to the advantages associated with possible design delights in the design of the door leaf, MDF has other advantages, including:

• moisture resistance;
• durability;
• practicality;
• resistance to deformation.

Solid wood

If you want the doors in your apartment to look expensive and noble, to serve you for a long time, and at the same time you are willing to pay the appropriate price for it, your choice is interior doors made of solid wood.

Beautiful natural material, wood, has a number of advantages:

• strength of the door structure;
• excellent adhesion to finishing materials;
• reliability of fastenings;
• environmental friendliness;
• high quality;
• wealth of design options.

But this material, unfortunately, is not without its drawbacks:

• each door made of solid wood is, in a certain sense, universal, since the wood pattern is unique;
• low resistance to temperature changes and moisture (high-quality coating and proper care are required);
• heavy weight of the structure, which requires the use of extremely reliable and durable fittings.

Most often, in mass production, the surface of solid wood doors is covered with thin sheets made of natural veneer - to improve moisture and heat resistance and increase service life. For this purpose, veneered wooden doors doing great!

Glass

Many modern styles, such as hi-tech or minimalism, are not too fond of such natural materials like wood or artificial imitation wood panels. The futurism of such styles dictates the choice of completely different materials - metal, plastic, glass.

And if metal doors- not the best choice for dividing rooms, then glass ones, on the contrary, do not look pretentious and somewhat simplify and lighten. The matte surface allows them to easily fit into any room and be used, among other things, as a door for and.

In addition, the possibilities for decorating glass panels are multifaceted! The combination of frosted glass with regular glass, stained glass, sandblasted designs - all this will help you choose a truly unique door for a unique interior!

Choosing an interior door design

There are a large number of options for interior doors, including classic swing doors and more interesting designs– sliding or folding. More details about everything below.

Swing doors

Swing doors are the simplest and most familiar type of door. The design of such a door consists of a door leaf and a frame. But even such simple doors now boast some variety of options.

A similar design and type of opening is currently used everywhere: both as interior and entrance doors.

Sliding doors

This type is currently popular door designs Sliding doors came to us from Asia, where they have been used since ancient times. Their main advantage is ergonomics.

The design is door leaf, which is attached to a guide with rollers installed inside a beam attached to the wall. The rollers are attached to the top of the door with a special bracket.

Sliding doors can fit into the smallest room, allowing you to save precious meters.

Let us highlight the main advantages of the sliding type of opening:

• saving space, allowing you not to waste space in an irrational way;
• design safety;
• stylish and fashionable design.

The main disadvantages include low sound and heat insulation, as well as more high cost compared to classic sliding doors.

Either way, sliding doors are stylish and modern version execution of interior doors. We invite you to familiarize yourself with interesting examples in our photo gallery:

Sliding doors

Sliding doors belong to the subgroup of sliding doors, however, they differ somewhat in design from the classic type, and therefore we have identified them as an independent group.

The design of such doors is similar to classic doors. But of course interior sliding doors differ from cabinet doors in weight and strength. In addition, do not forget about the presence of a handle and a lock.

Sliding doors are more ergonomic than classic sliding doors due to the fact that when opened, the sliding panels not only move to the side, but also overlap each other.

Sliding doors

Another interesting type of sliding doors are doors with a sliding mechanism. Such designs are perhaps the most ergonomic option possible, because the door being opened slides not along the wall, but inside it!

In this case, the wall is made of plasterboard, and requires partial redevelopment for mounting a U-shaped groove into the wall. The groove is best made of metal.

When installing a sliding door, do not forget about the correct position of the handle!

Such a door looks very interesting in the interior of any room and has the useful property of tightness in comparison with a regular sliding door.

Roto-doors

Roto doors are a kind of compromise between a swing and a sliding door. The peculiarity of the rotary door is that during the opening process the door leaf unfolds slightly and in the open position becomes perpendicular to the doorway.

This type of opening allows open door occupy less space and like the design sliding door serves to save space in a small room or.

Roto doors have such advantages as sound insulation and airtightness, and are an excellent solution for the bedroom!

Folding doors (accordion doors)

We consider the design of folding doors to be an interesting design solution.

An accordion door can fit perfectly into the interior of a living room or bedroom, and can also be an excellent option in the matter of zoning space (for example, separating a bedroom from a dressing room).

The material used to make an accordion door is often wood or plastic, but other options are also possible.

The design of a folding door is a connection of several elements using movable hinges, and one of the ends of such a door is equipped with rollers moving along a guide, as is the case with a classic sliding door.

Nuances of choice and design tricks

Single style or riot of diversity?

When choosing interior doors for an apartment, we are faced not only with the choice of material and type of opening, but also with the choice of style, which, as often happens, must “combine the incongruous.” What are we talking about? Let's tell you in more detail.

If you are renovating a separate room and want to change the door along with the interior design, you are faced with a task: how to choose a door that would simultaneously fit the new interior of the bedroom or living room and fit into the corridor? However, this question also haunts those who create a design project for a future apartment.

After all, it often happens that in one living space in different rooms get along perfectly different styles! Bedroom in style gentle Provence, a living room in the Art Nouveau style with its natural motifs, a laconic kitchen in the minimalist style and a retro hallway - and each room has its own requirements not only for furniture and interior design, but also to the door!

Of course, if you plan to choose a certain unified style for decorating your apartment, then you won’t have to rack your brains over how to fit a door into two interiors at the same time. If you decide not to take the easy route, we can advise you to make interior doors to order - this way you can decorate them on one side to match the design of the hallway, and on the inside - choose a finishing option that is more suitable for the chosen style of the room.

You can also choose doors in neutral tones and neutral designs, which will allow you to fit them into any interior of your choice without any questions asked!

High interior doors

We are used to the standard doorways, on average not reaching the ceiling 30-50 cm (depending on the height of your ceilings). However, designers are increasingly offering us interesting concepts using high doors in the interior - literally from the floor to the ceiling! What are the advantages of such structures, besides the unusual design solution?

• Tall doors can visually enlarge the space of a small room and “raise” the ceilings.
• Wealth of choice style solutions and shades can easily highlight the individuality of your design.
• The originality of the appearance does not even need comment. Such doors are unusual, period.

Self-installation of interior doors

Installing interior doors with your own hands is not the easiest process, but it allows you to save a lot during the renovation process.

Of course, the nuances of assembly and installation directly depend on the type of construction you choose and it is impossible to identify a universal algorithm suitable for any case.

We tried to put together video tutorials for you on how to install various types of interior doors so that this process gave you as little trouble as possible! So, let's watch the video:

Let's look at a few of the most simple ways decorate interior doors with your own hands using available materials.

As you know, doors do not last forever, and anything can happen. For example, scratches, chips, and cracks often appear on the door leaf. In this case, you can repair, replace or carefully decorate, hiding all defects.

Wallpapering the door

To decorate a door, you can use not only paper, vinyl and non-woven wallpaper, but also fabric or liquid.

In this case, the canvas should be prepared by removing a layer of paint in advance, filling up uneven areas, cracks and sanding the surface.

A layer of applied primer will provide additional adhesion of the wallpaper to the surface of the door.

You can wallpaper both the entire canvas and the panels by cutting out pieces of wallpaper of a suitable size. Don't forget to choose an adhesive that matches the type of wallpaper and dilute it according to the instructions.

Wallpaper classic

Lubricate the cut wallpaper with glue and apply it to the door, making sure that there are no jams or distortions. Smooth the wallpaper with a soft cloth, roller or wide plastic spatula. Carefully trim off the excess with a utility knife. Additionally, you can decorate it by gluing a frame made of foam plinth on top of the wallpaper.

While the wallpaper is drying, it is advisable to close the windows in the house and prevent the appearance of drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Textile

A door decorated with fabric looks very unusual and attractive. In addition to standard surface preparation, attention should be paid to the fabric itself, determining the degree of shrinkage.

We cut off a small piece of fabric, measure its dimensions, moisten it with water and dry it. After drying, we take measurements again, comparing the readings and finding out the degree of shrinkage. If the value is large, then the entire piece of fabric is also moistened and left to dry before decorating.

Pay attention! You can use not only a whole piece of fabric, but also cut fragments different colors and textures. This technique is called “patchwork” and is often used by designers in interior design.

For fabric, casein glue, a composition based on CMC, as well as Bustilat or Gumilax mastics are best suited. Apply the adhesive to the fabric and apply it to the door, smoothing it with a spatula. When covering a door with fragments, it is important to ensure that they are geometric, otherwise the work will look sloppy.

Additionally, you can decorate the door with beautiful furniture nails, shiny nylon or leather cords, fabric paint, and baguette frames.

- universal. They cover not only walls, but also doors, creating unimaginable patterns and compositions. In this case, you don’t have to bother with cutting the canvases. However, the door cannot be exposed to moisture. Therefore, this method is unacceptable for decorating a door in a bathroom or kitchen.

To work you will need a dry wallpaper mixture and several spatulas. different sizes, hopper gun, roller, clear varnish, color.

Decorate the door with a mirror

A very unusual door decoration can be made using mirrors. Such decor will not only attract everyone’s attention, but will also visually expand the space of the room and add light. However, cutting and attaching a classic glass mirror is very inconvenient, fortunately there is an alternative - acrylic panels with amalgam, which has excellent reflectivity.

Acrylic mirrors are available in a wide range color scheme. You can choose any shade you like or several to make mirror panel. Plastic panels do not break, are easy to process and attach to the door, and are light in weight. The cost of mirrored plexiglass is not the lowest, but the quality and aesthetic qualities fully correspond to the stated prices.

Thickness	Color	Brand	Sheet size, mm	Price per sheet, rub
2	silver	SPD (Italy)	1220*2440	5950
2	silver	Plexiglas Mirror (Germany)	2050*3050	11150
3	silver	PLASKOLITE (USA)	2050*3050	14000
3	gold	PLASKOLITE (USA)	2030*3050	15700
3	gold	Plexiglas Mirror (Germany)	2030*3050	16000
3	red, blue, green, orange, yellow, black (color opaque)	Extruded acrylic glass ZENOCRYL OPAQUE XT	2050*3050	10989
3	colored transparent (red, orange, yellow, light blue, blue, green, purple)		1220*2440	5453
3	fluorescent transparent (yellow, pink, brown)	Cast acrylic glass ZENOCRYL TRANSPARENT	1220*2440	5075

Before attaching the mirror plastic to the surface, you should carefully level the surface by deepening the heads of the nails, sanding off and covering with putty all the irregularities/recesses.

A deep penetration primer must be applied to the door and the back side of the acrylic sheet. After it dries, the cut panels are secured with double-sided tape and assembly adhesive. For convenience, use mounting suction cups; with their help, it is much easier to carefully glue the panels to the door leaf.

As one of the decoration options, you can consider shaped acrylic mirrors. Such a mirror can be attached in the center of the door or you can purchase several elements and arrange them beautifully. Usually small parts are produced with an adhesive layer already applied.

Even from such a simple material as buckwheat husk, excellent work is obtained. The cost of the material is minimal, but the service life of such a coating, unfortunately, cannot be called too long.

Step 1. Remove the layer from the door old paint, available vinyl covering, we eliminate all irregularities with putty.

Step 2. Remove the door from its hinges and place it on the floor/stools/table. We paint the door leaf with dark brown paint. If the door has glass inserts, protect them with masking tape.

Step 3. Thickly coat the dried door with PVA glue, lay out the husks, distributing them with your hands. If necessary, add small gold sparkles.

Step 4. Cover the door with transparent varnish (glossy or matte). It is advisable to apply three layers in order to properly fix the buckwheat on the door leaf.

Beautiful door ready. So that the door does not stand out from the overall design of the room, in the same way decorate the picture frame and place the creation on one of the walls.

Decorating the door in vintage style

Vintage is sophistication and sophistication, the beauty of artificially aged things, in harmony with the chic of individual decorative elements. A door in vintage style will become a work of art, an exclusive element of the interior.

For decoration you will need:

We will combine painting the door with the decoupage technique and in addition we will add decorative elements. We will carry out the work on a door that has already been removed from its hinges, puttied and carefully sanded, and laid horizontally.

Step 1. Paint the door white. Apply the paint with a wide brush with stiff bristles in one direction, in a thin layer.

Step 2. When the paint has dried, carefully sand it with coarse sandpaper, achieving an “antique” effect.

Step 3. We begin decorating the panels or the central part of the door. We tear music books and old newspapers into small pieces with our hands. Draw a rectangular or square activity field on the door with a pencil. Lubricate the outlined areas with PVA glue. Immediately lay out the paper chaotically, smoothing it with your hands. Apply clear varnish in two layers on top.

Step 4. Along the perimeter of the areas covered with paper, we attach a black baguette with mounting glue.

Additionally, you can decorate with a beautiful wreath, a large lace bow or plastic beads imitating pearls (adhesive-based).

There are many other ways to decorate doors. Use the materials available in your home arsenal, use your imagination and create your own masterpieces.
