Do-it-yourself door decor: we make the decor of interior doors on our own, choosing the appropriate option. High interior doors "Helder Interior doors to the ceiling in an ordinary apartment

In most cases, speaking of door leaves reaching the ceiling, they recall their ability to visually “raise” the upper plane, to make the room higher. Really, - it is a noticeable and effective vertical, which is able to orient the layout of the interior.

However, the possibilities of non-standard canvases are not limited to this, and if ordinary sliding doors are simply convenient and do not take up much space, then higher similar designs allow you to instantly transform the space by combining or isolating rooms at will.

Often, as an argument against buying ready-made or purchasing high doors to order, they mention the impossibility of increasing the size of all openings in the room. If there are several openings in the hall, corridor or passage room, one of which must maintain its dimensions, different door heights will not look good. Indeed, not every opening can be changed, but in this case, high interior doors with a transom can be an excellent solution.

A transom is called a “superstructure” above the canvas, which, like the rest of the structure, can be made of almost any material, be deaf or glazed, have a rectangular or arched shape.

If you want to install high structures in a “difficult” room, doors with transoms are mounted in the modified doorways, and the opening, which has become a “stumbling block”, is equipped with an identical standard-sized design, after which an overlay imitating a transom is installed above it.

However, transom doors can be chosen without the need to solve complex problems. They are spectacular and perfect if there is a desire to install structures up to the ceiling, but there is no desire to open bulky canvases. Such high doors in the interior can be not only classic or retro, designs with an additional top element are also available in modern design.

The transom must be identical to the door leaf and frame, they are:

made from the same material

have the same finish

match in style.

The only difference may be the presence or absence of glazing. So, deaf doors can be crowned with an arched element with glass inserts. If glazing is also present in the leaf, the type and color of the glass must be the same.

Doors to the ceiling are most often made to order, after accurate measurements. This allows you to create a canvas and a box that matches the height of the room as much as possible. In addition to ordinary apartments or apartments with improved layouts with high ceilings, non-standard doors can be installed in cottages or houses created according to special projects, at any height of a room or hall.

Since the times of the Soviet past, many have remained convinced that it is almost impossible to make fundamental changes to the situation in a typical apartment of an old panel house. Today, such doom no longer threatens to create a comfortable and stylish interior!
The standard choice of interior doors is complemented by original door leaf models of any length, size and configuration.
Don't be afraid to break old stereotypes! Let yourself live more qualitatively, functionally and beautifully with the help of professional masters of our design studio!

Thanks to the creative and practical look of a specialist, modern materials and technologies, your modest apartments can become truly exclusive. In recent years, completely new ergonomic designs of living rooms have been developed that skillfully decorate high doors in the interior of an apartment, house or cottage design.

There are many ways to decorate a room, make it more voluminous and spacious. Light walls, large window openings and the presence of glass surfaces in the house can radically affect the visual expansion of free space.

High beautiful doors in the interior - a special style of our time!

Most often, the ceilings of typical apartments have a height of no more than 2-2.50 meters and it seems that such a limit does not allow ordering a doorway length higher than usual. Our creative designer Irina Romanova and a team of her professional colleagues will be able to prove to the customer that everything is fixable and there are no limits to modern design reincarnations!

Tall new interior doors under the ceiling, created by individual order - will adequately decorate any interior! To install such a canvas, the master cuts out a high opening, decorating the upper wall with a spectacular ceiling molding or border. The design of a high door in the interior of an apartment can be made sliding with a “coupe” mechanism or with a cassette box that allows you to hide the canvas inside a special niche covered with drywall.

High exclusive doors from floor to ceiling will help to give any room an elegant and spectacular look, add light, space and air to the room. The mobility of such structures will ensure the creation of an ergonomic interior, and save the usable area of your home.

If the room requires reduced light insulation (nursery, bedroom), it is necessary to order high, but opaque interior doors to the apartment - made of wood, plastic, metal, tinted glass, etc. Such an option will visually increase the area and height of the ceiling, but will create a comfortable darkened atmosphere for sleeping or relaxing.

Stylish design of doors in the interior to the ceiling from the studio of Irina Romanova

1. Partition doors
Monolithic concrete walls between the kitchen and the dining room, the living room and the office significantly hide the square of the room and free space. In such cases, we suggest using interior glass sliding partitions that combine different living areas into one functional room.

2. Door in the form of a window
Tall transparent door designs allow sunlight to beautifully fill the room, illuminating it from different angles. The glass sheet can be supplemented with thick hanging curtains (roleta, blinds or fabric). This design of doors in the interior allows you to effectively imitate a large number of windows and change the layout of the house in different variations.

Any human dwelling has anthropometric parameters. Even if it's a hut. The dimensions of the premises and the interior furnishings correspond to human growth. No one would want to find himself, like Gulliver, in the country of the Lilliputians. However, in the country of giants, the hero of the book was also not very comfortable. In addition to functionality, proportionality to the height of a person, the area of \u200b\u200bthe premises and furnishings create psychological comfort.

Medieval architects, who erected majestic Gothic cathedrals, evoked in a person who went inside the cathedral a feeling of their own insignificance and the greatness of God with their grandiose dimensions. Excessively cramped and narrow space creates a different feeling. Remember Dostoevsky's description of the room in which Raskolnikov lived: "his closet was located under the very roof of a five-story building and looked more like a closet than a room ...". It is good when the rooms are spacious and the ceilings are high. Even those who love small and cozy rooms will not argue with this.

But, in most cases, the size of the living space balances between necessity and sufficiency: you can’t do less according to the norms, but more can’t be done for economic reasons. You should not assume that cramped and small apartments were built only in Soviet times. Now mass housing in new buildings also does not differ in spaciousness and ceiling height. But there is no need to treat the ceiling height of 2.65 meters as a sentence: physiologically, this is quite enough for life. And you can create psychological comfort with the help of competent interior design. There are many professional practices. For example, to visually increase the low ceiling, you can use high doors.

Why does it work?

What is the basis of optical illusions? On the features of human vision. And more precisely, on the ligament of the organ of vision - the eye, and the brain. The human brain interprets the received visual information in accordance with its life experience and abilities for associative thinking. Therefore, a person can say that the mountain is like a bear, and the cloud is like a camel.

Also, the human brain accurately determines the size of objects by comparing what it sees with known things. When photographing, to demonstrate the size of something, they often put a box of matches next to it - because the scale of the box is known to everyone, and you can evaluate it by comparing the demonstrated object with the "standard". If there is a high large door in the interior of the room, then the brain automatically “finishes” everything else - a spacious room with high ceilings.

How to use it

Knowing the features of visual perception, it is possible to create conditions that are quite comfortable for psychological sensation even in very small rooms.

We use vertical drawings. For wall decoration in a room with low ceilings, the best choice is striped wallpaper. Or with a pattern oriented vertically. In addition to the verticality of the pattern, it is important to choose the right stripe width and color scheme. Light shades visually expand the space, but light, indistinct walls, without details on which to focus attention, may not improve the situation, but only spoil it. Avoid large and bright patterns: it is better to choose a wallpaper with forget-me-nots than with bouquets of peonies.
High doors. To maintain the vertical rhythm of the wall decoration pattern, replace the standard doors with taller ones. True, most likely, it will be necessary to install all interior high doors in the apartment - to create a harmonious composition.

It would be nice to make high front doors - this will give the entrance to the house impressiveness. But unfortunately, you can choose the entrance doors to your liking only in a private house. An apartment in an apartment building is your property only inside, and the entrance area is considered common and must meet certain standards. But if you live in your own house, high metal doors will become a worthy decoration of the facade, turning an ordinary entrance into a house into a majestic portal.

When choosing high interior doors for small spaces, give preference to models with small detailed details. Deaf massive structures can be too heavy. An excellent option would be doors with deglazing. Transparent inserts will give lightness to the design and allow additional natural light into the corridor. Using a design with an upper window at the entrance, you can not order non-standard doors, which will cost more, but put ordinary ones.

Discard dark door leaves, even if it is natural wood. Bleached oak or ash is a more suitable option.

It is convenient to use sliding doors to create optical interior illusions. You can order doors for interior doors and wardrobes, made in the same style.

Don't forget the plinth. Plinth is not only a flashing between the wall and the floor, but also an important tool in creating visual effects in the interior. Instead of a standard skirting board, use a polyurethane molding with a height of at least 100 mm - you will be amazed at the result. This finish of the bottom of the wall looks especially good, painted in the same color as the doors or door frames. Two-leaf hinged high doors with architraves in the form of pilasters resting on a heel (pilaster thickening, base,) in combination with a high embossed plinth will help create a grand interior.

There are no trifles in interior design. Each of its parts bears a functional and decorative load, creating convenience for use and joy for the eyes. Moreover, it can not be a trifle, unworthy of attention, the door - interior or entrance. These elements are too important, and the door area is not small. Before buying new doors in the store, consider how the interior will look like as a whole.

A well-known problem is small apartments. A good solution - compartment doors - is not always suitable: sometimes there is so little space that all the walls are lined with furniture and there is nowhere to move the canvas. 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, the built-in interior doors do not differ from the coupe, they are based on the same components: a leaf (one or two), guide rails, carriages with rollers and fittings. If desired, an electric drive. The only difference is that when you open the canvas is hidden from the eyes. In the converted section of the wall there is a cassette into which a 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 also does not differ from the standard one.

The difference is in fittings: locks and handles should not interfere with the displacement of the canvas into the wall. With handles and locks you need to decide in advance. If the sliding door into the wall will go completely, a lock with a button will be required to close.

The second difference is that sliding doors that slide into the wall require a greater energy intensity of installation than a compartment. It is necessary to dismantle part of the wall, fix the cassette, sheathe the structure with plasterboard and complete the repair with a finishing touch. There will be a lot of construction debris, you need to prepare for this in advance.

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

Attention: for partitions made of brick and drywall, pencil cases are different. This must be specified at the time of purchase.

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 damage.

3. Process the opening, repair cracks.

4. Install the pencil case and secure with the help of mortgages. The upper mortgages will serve as a reliable fixation of the canvas, preventing displacement of the structure.

5. Sew up the cassette with drywall: the upper edge is placed along the enclosing box.

6. Install built-in doors and fittings.

7. Finish the wall.

8. Install platbands.

Sliding doors that slide into the wall are a good option to save space occupied by a regular door, but they take away 10 centimeters of the thickness of the room due to the cassette. Therefore, the ideal option for their installation is to mount built-in doors instead of self-supporting walls.

Consider some of the easiest ways to decorate interior doors with your own hands using improvised materials.

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

Covering the door with wallpaper

To decorate the 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 irregularities, cracks and sanding the surface.

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

Wallpaper can be pasted over both the entire canvas and the panels, cutting out pieces of wallpaper of a suitable size. Don't forget to choose the glue that suits 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 and distortions. We smooth the wallpaper with a soft cloth, roller or wide plastic spatula. Carefully cut off the excess with a clerical knife. Additionally, you can decorate by gluing a foam plinth frame over the wallpaper.

For the period of drying of the wallpaper, it is advisable to close the windows in the house and exclude the appearance of drafts, a sharp temperature drop.

Textile

The door decorated with fabric looks very unusual and attractive. In addition to the standard surface preparation, attention should be paid to the fabric itself, ascertaining 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 again take measurements, comparing the readings and finding out the degree of shrinkage. If the value is large, then we also wet the entire piece of fabric before decorating and leave it to dry.

Note! You can use not only a single piece of fabric, but also cut fragments of different colors and textures. This technique is called "patchwork" and is often used by designers in the design of premises.

For fabric, casein glue, a composition based on CMC, as well as Bustilat or Gumilaks mastics are best suited. We apply the adhesive to the fabric and apply it to the door, smoothing it with a spatula. When pasting the door with fragments, it is important to monitor their geometry, otherwise the work will look sloppy.

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

- are universal. They cover not only walls, but also doors, creating unimaginable patterns and compositions. In this case, you do not have to mess with cutting canvases. However, it will not be possible to expose the door to moisture. Therefore, for decorating a door in a bathroom or kitchen, this method is unacceptable.

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

Decorate the door with a mirror

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

Acrylic mirrors are available in a wide range of colors. You can choose any shade you like or several to make a mirror panel. Plastic panels do not break, are easily processed and attached to the door, and are light in weight. The cost of mirrored plexiglass is not the lowest, but the quality and aesthetic qualities are fully consistent with the declared prices.

3	fluorescent transparent (yellow, pink, brown)	Cast acrylic glass ZENOCRYL TRANSPARENT	1220*2440	5075

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

A deep penetration primer must be applied to the door and the back of the acrylic sheet. After it dries, the cut panels are fixed with double-sided tape and mounting glue. 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 figured 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 husks, 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 a layer of old paint from the door, the existing vinyl coating, eliminate all irregularities with putty.

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

Step 3. We thickly grease the dried door with PVA glue, lay out the husk, distributing it with our hands. If necessary, add small gold sparkles.

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

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

We decorate 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. The door in vintage style will become a work of art, an exclusive element of the interior.

For decoration you will need:

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

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

Step 2. When the paint dries, gently sand it with coarse sandpaper, achieving the effect of "old times".

Step 3. We start decorating the panels or the central part of the door. We tear musical notebooks and old newspapers into small pieces with our hands. We draw a field for activity of a rectangular or square shape on the door with a pencil. Lubricate the outlined areas with PVA glue. Immediately lay out the paper randomly, smoothing it with your hands. On top, apply a transparent varnish in two layers.

Step 4. Along the perimeter of the areas pasted over with paper, we fasten a black baguette to the mounting glue.

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

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