The design of an opening without a door involves several features. Not all materials are suitable for this type of finishing, and the selected options will have to be handled quite carefully. Some structures can be created with your own hands, but the construction of others is best left to a professional.
Peculiarities
The logical conclusion would be that a doorway without a door is made completely without door frame. All decoration includes only the lining of the opening itself, which is done using a variety of materials.
The design of a doorless opening allows you to choose from a variety of shapes, including classic and interesting fancy options.
Not every room will have an opening without a door that will look appropriate. There are some rooms that must have a door, and these include not only the toilet and bathroom. The bedroom, kitchen, office must be equipped with a full door Since these rooms are larger than others, there is a need for privacy and intimacy.
However, every rule can be circumvented. For additional decoration of such openings, curtains, muslin, and screens are used. They allow you to create the illusion of dividing the room without completely replacing the door.
Decorating an open doorway implies relying on the integrity of the entire home. As a rule, identical doorless openings are made in an apartment or house. This applies to both shape and finish. They act as a connecting element, uniting all rooms into a single ensemble.
Speaking about the advantages that open openings have compared to classic doorways, we cannot fail to mention saving space. Each door takes up at least a square meter usable area. When creating a doorless structure, this problem disappears. From an aesthetic point of view, an opening allows you to visually expand the space or expand the functional area of the room by combining it with a utility room. A good example is a common combination of a balcony and a living room lately.
In some cases, a doorless space looks much more attractive than a door, especially when it is beautifully decorated. For example, shelves are often placed along the contour of such an opening. The figurines or other little things placed on them beautifully frame the skylight, creating a unique atmosphere that cannot be repeated. Thus, sometimes an open doorway looks even more intimate than a thick oak door.
Finally, one more important advantage is creating sufficient ventilation in the apartment. Air circulates better through open space, and for small apartments, for example, like in houses built by Khrushchev, this factor is important - it allows you to combat stuffiness.
Creating several openings can completely change the original layout of the apartment, but in reality it comes out much cheaper than a full-fledged redevelopment.
In addition, the opening can often be created even in load-bearing wall, so there are many more options for a new apartment plan.
Kinds
There are many different configurations of doorways without a door, which differ from each other not only in their shape, but also in the material with which they are created. Along with traditional raw materials, the latest developments in the field of design are also used.
The simplest in design is ordinary rectangular span. Creating a rectangular opening is very simple: the door frame is completely dismantled, then the surface of the walls is leveled along the contour. In the future, the resulting gap is simply painted or lined with a suitable material. There are a great variety of finishing methods, starting with the simple installation of wooden extensions and ending with the creation of pompous stucco columns.
More popular building arched structures. To do this, it is not necessary to expand the existing opening in the wall, but last years The idea of creating false arches is actively used. In this case, corner elements made of polyurethane or plasterboard with rounded sides are installed in the rectangular span, and the result is a full-fledged arch with much less cost and labor. However, this method is not suitable for all homes: it is necessary that the opening be of sufficient height.
There are several types of arches:
- Rounded arch. It is a classic interpretation and can be used in absolutely any room, regardless of the parameters, but there is one unspoken rule. The lower the ceiling, the wider the arched span should be.
- Trapezoidal span. It is created from straight lines and can only be called an arch conditionally. Designers do not recommend using this form because of its strong association with a funeral accessory - a coffin.
- Triangular arch. There are a huge number of subtypes of triangular arches: keeled, pointed horseshoe, Tudor. Similar elements came into modern design from the Middle Ages, and they are used preferably in tall, spacious rooms.
More and more often, people refuse to create ordinary classic openings in favor of fantasy asymmetrical ones.
They can only be made in plasterboard partition walls. Asymmetrical openings can have any shape you like, and can also be supplemented with all kinds of auxiliary details: shelves, niches, lighting. This design acts as bright element and sets the tone for the entire appearance of the room. Catching your gaze, an asymmetrical opening helps to hide possible flaws when renovating a room.
Dimensions
It is possible to balance the proportions of rooms in an apartment using doorways without doors. Depending on whether the opening is wide or narrow, high or low, the impression made varies.
For rooms with low ceilings, it is strictly not recommended to install narrow spans. Visually they will make the room tiny and uncomfortable. It is better to choose a wide option that will visually expand the area of the room, add air and light to it. This applies not only to arched openings, but also to rectangular ones.
Optimal height also depends on the original proportions of the room. If you want to use a skylight to combine two rooms, it is recommended to make it almost as high as the ceiling. An ordinary span, serving only as an alternative to a door, should be made significantly lower, but its height should not be lower than 2 m. In the case of arches, this figure increases by at least 30 cm. This is due not so much to aesthetic rules as to safety requirements: people may hit the upper narrow part of the arch hard in the dark.
When constructing asymmetrical structures, the following rule should be followed: the more intricate the shape, the wider the opening should be. Too much concentration of monograms and other elements on small space will overload the look, making the design unnecessarily pretentious and bulky. As a result, instead of a spectacular accent, you will get a tasteless option that you will soon get tired of.
Thus, the size of the doorway is largely determined by the characteristics of the room itself, and not by the chosen shape.
Remember that very wide doorways are best decorated using some kind of texture, for example, relief moldings. If you use ordinary smooth cladding, the light will be “lost” against the general background of the room and, from an aesthetic point of view, will not look particularly harmonious.
In various rooms
In the vast majority of cases, the advisability of installing a doorless opening is obvious, however, sometimes refusing a door is extremely undesirable. Some of the rooms where it is best to leave a door include the kitchen. This is especially true in small apartments, where a strong kitchen smell will be especially annoying. It's not always pleasant when scents are felt in the living room or bedroom.
The old boring interior of the living room can be changed beyond recognition, at the same time intelligently expanding the usable area. If you abandon the separate balcony block and the door to the balcony, you will be able to make the living room brighter. The balcony will certainly need to be furnished in a style similar to the living room, since the rooms, united by a doorless skylight, should be perceived as a single whole.
You can often encounter cases where the door is refused between the corridor and the dressing room. Since both of these spaces are quite small and cramped, this move helps hide this fact, allowing people to feel more free.
In small apartments, doors between the hallway and the living room are abandoned, especially if the apartment is one-room. This way the entire area is perceived as a single whole, making the home seem larger.
In cases where such a small apartment has low ceilings, it is better not to choose an arched shape as an opening. It is much more logical to focus on the classic rectangular span.
It is quite rare for people to refuse a door to the bedroom, but they do not dare to completely leave the entrance “defenseless”. They come to the rescue thick curtains or screens, which perfectly protect the intimacy of the room. If necessary, they can be easily and quickly dismantled. Interesting solution is the use of curtains with tiebacks: at night they can be completely closed, and during the day they will serve as a beautiful frame for the opening.
How to apply correctly?
Cashing of the opening is carried out different materials and in different techniques. You can decorate the interior space with your own hands, or you can turn to professionals who will create a complex and unique decor.
A good idea is to decorate the doorway with curtains.
A decorative curtain plays the same role as a door psychologically, but it takes up much less space. If desired, the curtains can be removed completely without any problems or replaced with others, and the appearance of the opening structure will not be affected (for example, if you simply remove the door leaf, hinges will remain on the span, which do not look very attractive).
Another option for decorating a doorway without a door is to use additional elements registration – various stucco panels. With their help, it will be possible to improve any opening, regardless of how smooth the walls are and what colors the opening is made of. Finishing is extremely simple and is often done entirely independently.
With the help of stucco it is possible to decorate openings in different styles. For example, you can make a classic arch with columns and heavy shaped elements. If you add gilding, you will be able to completely recreate the spirit of baroque or classic. For modern interiors It is more appropriate to use simple relief moldings with geometric patterns, for example, embossed groove lines. If in the first case it was appropriate to choose pilasters and capitals, then in the second they should be avoided.
Stucco molding can be found quite rarely; it has practically gone out of use recently. This is due to the relatively small dimensions of modern apartments, because intricate designs look ridiculous in small spaces. You shouldn’t completely abandon stucco elements: some of them can help expand the room.
Also, to design door openings without doors, artificial stone masonry, clinker tiles or plasterboard are often used.
Materials
Cladding a doorway without a door can be done using a variety of materials. The simplest solution is to paint the gap or cover it with the same wallpaper as the walls. However, there is one “but”: only perfectly smooth walls are suitable for this, otherwise the whole structure will look insufficiently neat and as if made hastily.
Another option is to make a box from the extensions and place it in the gap or sheathe it MDF panels. In both cases, you will get a wooden aperture that looks stylish and can be harmoniously integrated into almost any interior.
It is best to frame the opening with valuable wood or its imitation, since these are the solutions that look the best.
It is also possible to cover the gap with plasterboard. Drywall is a truly unique material. With its help, you can form a structure of almost any configuration, supplementing it with elements from other lightweight materials, for example, polyurethane.
You can easily make a simple plasterboard opening yourself, and it will not take much time, and the effect will please you.
Often the gaps are lined with imitation stone or clinker tiles. Clinker tiles imitate brick, but they weigh several times less. They release tiles different forms: There are classic elements, as well as special corner ones. There is a wide variety of sizes on the market, but medium-sized tiles are the most popular. The seams between the tiles are usually rubbed with a composition that exactly imitates the main covering of the walls.
Artificial stone looks more interesting than clinker tiles. There are imitations of various materials: limestone, marble, malachite and many others. This material has many advantages: such cladding looks expensive, harmonizes perfectly with other finishing materials, has a long service life and wear resistance, and is also very easy to maintain. Laying such material can be carried out either in a geometrically thought-out order, or chaotically - both options look equally successful.
Both tiles and stone are attached either with tile adhesive (when the walls under them are not well aligned) or with liquid nails (if the walls have a perfectly flat surface).
How to do it yourself decorative arch, lined with gypsum stone and bas-reliefs, see the following video.
Options in the interior
A fairly simple opening with a slightly curved edge adds pomp and grandeur to the room. Its unusual structure is made in rather restrained proportions: straight lines are used, there is no complex decor. Almost flat square shape helps to visually maintain the proportions of the room without creating any visual illusions.
Usage natural materials welcome when creating the design of a doorless opening. Wood and raw stone harmonize well with each other, despite the fact that the tree was selected from a valuable species, and the stone was the most ordinary one. Playing with contrasts deserves special attention: firstly, contrasting colors of wood and stone are used, and secondly, a smooth edge wooden frame adjacent to the ragged edges of the stonework.
Although standard apartments and provide for the arrangement internal space in accordance with the most rational possibilities and use of space, however, not every resident is satisfied with the proposed engineers' solution.
In some cases, additional specialized redevelopment, which can significantly improve the layout and layout of a living space, increase air circulation and heating.
At major renovation quite often it is necessary, among other things, to endure interior doors. Of course, if you have a sufficient quantity and quality of tools, you can cut a new opening almost anywhere where engineering parameters do not prohibit it.
However, old openings can still be useful, and just leave them completely open not aesthetically pleasing.
It's also worth mentioning that small apartments and not entirely convenient designs and plans for their construction often involve the presence of doorways where it is impossible to adequately install doors, because they will take up too much space in the hallway.
This also suggests the need for redevelopment. One of the most pressing issues is searching for an alternative for a kitchen that is not often stocked door structures default.
Alternative designs and decorations
One of the most common and convenient is the use of the system shifting the structure.
Installation of runners and rollers will not require too much space, while closing the door will be quite convenient, practical and aesthetic.
Of course, this approach will require additional costs, but in some cases it is most effective.
It is also possible to resort to options decorative camouflage doorways. Completely lay down existing ones doorway Few are in a hurry, since in combination with the cost of additional time, there is also an increase in the cost of such operations.
To exclude the use of drywall or backfill with bricks, it is quite possible to use such types of camouflage as textile fabrics, jewelry, screens or blinds.
You can design the corresponding project according to the main leitmotif of the apartment design. Various types of solutions are becoming very popular within the framework of such solutions. vines, bamboo, beads or glass beads.
You can install strings or wooden sections. In combination with the expansion of the general opening, individual sections of the apartment can still be made visually enclosed while maintaining full visibility. This is achieved by using, for example bamboo elements, wooden sections and gratings, glass walls.
Great opportunities are also provided by the use of textile fabrics. Decorative curtains even apply to budget option finishing of certain openings and rooms. The corresponding design or simply the frame on which the canvases will be stretched is not difficult.
This task can be handled with the help of home tools, as well as basic, common and inexpensive materials. It can be used as a completely transparent tulle, and quite dense, not transmitting light curtain. A regular cornice is perfect for installing the corresponding elements.
If the options are not suitable for some reason, you can always resort to using lambrequins. Creating an interior in modern style often one cannot do without this element.
Usage blinds instead of a door will significantly save space, while providing an extremely stylish and comfortable partition in the aisle. You can use both horizontal and vertical closing options. The latter have even more advantages.
If you have time, opportunity, and inspiration at the same time, then it is quite possible to resort to creating your own unique and completely unique element to close a doorway.
If, as a result of large-scale redevelopment, the main door from the room has moved to a completely different place, there is a need to select the most effective way use of interior door space.
The easiest way is to cover this opening with plasterboard and make it completely invisible within the framework of specific interior decoration.
Non-standard solutions include, for example, false door. For this purpose, the opening is blocked on one side, and the corresponding door remains on the other.
This approach will interest guests and visitors, however Of course, it won’t add functionality to the room. You can make a slate board out of it for children.
In addition, the wall is quite suitable for creating additional shelves or a closet. You can build a real one into such a doorway bookshelf.
Very often, when carrying out redevelopment, apartment owners move interior door. In such cases, the question arises: how to close the old doorway?
In most cases, it is tightly laid with brick or plasterboard, and then plastered. Let's see if there are other, more interesting ideas for using it. old doorway.
1. False door
A simple yet fun way to decorate old doorway. We turn the working door into a “trick”. Save doorjamb, and the opening itself is bricked in some recess in the wall. Instead of plastering works, we just tightly close the masonry with the old door.
False door or simple door imitation
From the outside, the door looks like a real one, but in reality it is just another imitation and an intriguing riddle for your friends. The outer wall of the door can be turned into a small school board and write various useful “reminders” on it with crayons.
Another design option for an unnecessary doorway is to imitate additional space “behind the door.” Photo wallpapers are perfect here.
Keeping the door jamb and the door itself intact, we block the old opening even further into the depths of the wall. It turns out to be a small closed niche-closet. This design could be very useful as a mini-warehouse for some kitchen supplies or utensils.
Hidden closet in doorway. The second picture shows the option with a sliding door
Disadvantages of this option:
a) the depth of the closet will depend on the radius of the door opening, b) enough space is grabbed from the adjacent room behind the wall.
The same as in the previous version, but instead of a solid door we use a glazed door. As a result, where there was a doorway, we get a shallow and elegant built-in one for dishes or books.
Built-in wardrobe in the doorway
4. Design of the doorway: niche with shelves
The most common design option for a doorway. Here the door jamb and doors are completely dismantled. The doorway is laid out and decorated in the same style as the surrounding walls. In the resulting space, for greater functionality, we install the necessary shelves and possibly even lighting.
5. Secret door
And finally, the most exotic way to hide an old doorway is camouflage. The doorway is not transferred anywhere, but it changes its appearance beyond recognition. Try making a sliding, shallow cabinet instead of a door.
In the photo: an example of a camouflaged doorway
When closed, no one would even think what it is doorway– just a “regular” built-in wardrobe. To achieve such a disguise, you will need to tightly fit all the overhead elements door jamb to match the design of a movable cabinet. 
Of course, the need for such secrecy is doubtful, but it is quite possible to consider the idea as a creative option :)
Be that as it may, do not rush to hastily fill up old doorways. Perhaps in the very near future you will have new ideas for using this space.
Good luck with your ideas in decorating doorways!
Designing a doorway without using a door is a fashionable and modern trend in interior design.
Such a doorway visually unites two rooms.
Let's start with how and when they usually resort to this and with the advantages of this solution:
- A doorway without a door allows you to save space in the room. Indeed, you get some additional area floor and space along the wall if the door opens close to the wall. This can be critical for small rooms, such as hallways, small fenced-off areas of a room, former “smoking rooms” in public buildings, former storage rooms, and so on. This will be especially noticeable for large doorways that require the installation of double doors.
- You want to save money or do not want to buy a door if you are planning a remodel soon. Yes, often the reason for such a decision is banal saving of money. It's no secret that installing a good door will cost a significant amount. If you install more cheap door If you don’t want to, or don’t want to spend money on decorating a temporary space, a doorway without a door is perfect for you.
- It is necessary to visually combine the two rooms. Often, as an “inheritance” from the old owners, you get a niche in a room that used to be a storage room. Do you want to put it there? bookcases, want them to be part of the room, but don't want to put a door. In this case, creating an opening without a door will be good decision. Or you want to visually combine the dining room and kitchen so that they are almost a single whole, but you can still differentiate them. Here, too, a doorway without a door will come in handy.
- It is necessary to visually separate the two rooms. Too much long hallways and the corridors look unnatural. You can easily solve this problem by setting in the middle long corridor a wide doorway with curtains, or even just hanging the curtains in the middle. You can also do the same with too long room– simply divide it into two zones using a spacious doorway decorated with curtains. Even completely open curtains will create the illusion different rooms, taking up a minimum of space. Can be used different styles design for both parts of the room, for example, by making a work area and a relaxation area.
- Solving the lighting problem. Dark niches, corridors and passages have always been a drawback of any apartment. By installing doorways without a door and decorating them with thread curtains, screens are “not in full height"or translucent curtains, you will ensure sufficient access of light into dark rooms from light ones. Typically, doorless doorways make it easy to open curtains and quickly bring enough light into a dark room from a light one when needed. No glass doors will allow you to get as much light from the living room into a dark hallway as a completely open doorway with drawn back curtains provides.
- Solving the review problem. If you have small children and you want to keep an eye on them, there is nothing better than making a doorway without a door into the nursery. Translucent curtains or a screen that is not full-length will allow you to easily observe children. A wooden rigid screen that is not full-length would be preferable here - children will not be able to leave the room. So, for example, you can make a nursery and a bedroom out of one room, and you can watch the child while going about your business and being nearby. A doorway without a door will also help in other similar cases - a door between the kitchen and the bar, a door between the dining room and living room, etc.
- Heating and air circulation problems. When you have an unheated room in your home, a good way to make it warmer is to leave the door open. Thread-like curtains or a screen that is not full-length are perfect for this. You can also solve the problem of air stagnation in the room - you will get a delimitation of space without the need to hold open door constantly.
- Complex shape of the opening. Sometimes it is not possible to order a door into an opening designed in the form of a pointed arch, trapezoid or other complex shape. This usually needs to be done in bars, restaurants, clubs, and other public places. In this case, decorating a doorway without a door will be the only right decision.
There are also disadvantages to designing a doorway without:
- Unsatisfactory noise and sound insulation, permeability to odors. Naturally, it is advisable to separate the personal bedroom from the rest of the room, the kitchen from the common room. Smells from cooking or noise from your parents' guests when you want to get some sleep after a night shift will be a bit of a nuisance. If you like to stay up late watching movies, listening to music or playing online games, it is better to close your room with a door so as not to disturb other members of your family from falling asleep.
- The need for reliable delimitation of space in the room. It is absolutely necessary to securely fence off areas in the room such as the bathtub or toilet. It is also desirable that the door to these areas not only be there, but also be closed with a latch. The bedroom is also a fairly intimate area, and it is also advisable to provide it with not just a door, but a door that can be locked. Curtains and many other options for decorating a doorway without a door do not provide this opportunity. It is also advisable to have a door to the pantry, in which all sorts of rubbish is unsightly piled up. This way you will hide the contents from prying prying eyes.
- Protection against theft or unwanted intrusion. If you live in a room with people you don’t really trust, it’s better to equip your personal room with a good door that also locks with a key. You will protect yourself not only from theft, but also from the fact that someone takes your item to “try on” or “look at” and stain or stretch it. If you have a personal computer at home and want to restrict access to it, for example, for a child, you can not only set a password, but also a door that will not allow the child to enter your room and will save you from unnecessary temptations.
General requirements for the design of a doorway. How to make an opening without a door with your own hands
It would seem that the easiest way to design a doorway without a door would be simple plastered slopes.
Or made of plasterboard, covered with wallpaper and decorated with thread curtains.
However, not all so simple.
For example, if you often walk through such a passage, or your small children, you will inevitably touch the edges of the opening with hard objects.
The edges, even those reinforced with metal, will eventually peel off and it will look unsightly.
Moreover, the premises usually have different wallpapers, and it will be necessary to somehow solve the problem with the transition from one room to another.
A much more correct solution would be to decorate a doorway without a door with your own hands using a plastic structure. Cover the slopes with a plastic panel around the perimeter, or additional fabric for door frames.
Outside, along the perimeter of the opening, you can install platbands, or even just put a plastic or wooden corner. It is worth installing platbands if you have to make an opening in a slightly crooked wall - they allow you to get around the curved wall, while bending a corner like a flat platband will not work.
Another option would be to simply put a ready-made door frame in the opening - this is suitable if you don’t want to buy it yet, or it’s not ready yet. Then you can always cut in the hinges and install a regular door in the doorway.
Decorating a doorway with curtains
The simplest option for decorating a doorway without a door is to hang curtains. Depending on the capabilities and requests, there are two options for curtains - hand-made or store-bought.
When purchasing, you often buy a ready-made mechanism for opening and closing curtains, as well as fasteners for them. Typically, doorway curtains are quite rigid, and you will need heavier hardware than regular curtains.
Pay attention to reliability fastening elements upon purchase, on the thickness of the loops on the curtains, etc.
The second is to decorate a doorway without a door using curtains with your own hands. You can use purchased elements for fastening, and sew the curtains yourself.
You can use both thick fabric and tulle curtains. For blind fastening, you can hang two curtains tightly to the upper edge of the opening, while ensuring the possibility of fixing them along the edges of the opening when it is necessary to provide an open passage.
For example, make two opening loops from which you can grab the curtains at the top and bottom of the opening on both sides.
An excellent design option is thread curtains. Filament curtains are textile threads wooden elements in the form of long beads, ceramic or elements.
They hang from top to bottom, blocking the doorway. Such curtains allow you to pass through without moving them aside.
If necessary, they can be equipped with a mechanism that will allow them to be moved aside, or with grips at the top and bottom of the doorway on both sides to open the opening if necessary.
Designing a doorway without a door using non-standard design solutions
Decoration using non-standard design solutions - any other without the help of curtains or doors.
There can be many technical solutions when designing.
Let's consider a retractable door, a screen, a screen door, a vertical roller blind and blinds as the most common.
A retractable door is perfect in cases where it is impossible to provide space for opening.
It is a door on rollers that roll along guides at the top of the door and slides along the wall.
Among the advantages of this door are: original design and reliable room insulation, which is comparable to a regular door. Among the disadvantages is the rather high cost, the closing mechanism fails more often than the hinges of regular door, the need for maintenance, takes up space along the wall.
Screen – simplest option delimitation of space indoors. Unfortunately, this simple and effective remedy is rarely used in Russia, unlike Japan and other Asian countries.
At the same time, it is very simple not only to close the doorway, but also to divide parts of the room without resorting to redevelopment. For example, you can divide a room into a sleeping area and a common area only during sleep, or separate an area for a computer without resorting to a major redevelopment of the room. If necessary, the screen can be easily removed.
The screen can be placed in the door. If you want to firmly secure it during installation, you can use four hooks that secure the screen to the door.
This will prevent it from tipping over or being opened by small children. The screen can also be combined with curtains - use for a screen wooden frame, on the elements of which hang small curtains.
A classic Japanese screen is a wooden sliding frame filled with sheets of thin paper with a pattern. This screen allows light to pass through a little and is very practical, although it requires careful handling. Usually, to allow light access, it is made lower by about 70 cm.
One of practical features When decorating a doorway using a screen, it is possible to close the opening only part of the height, leaving its top open. In this case, you will be able to observe what is happening in the next room by looking over the screen.
To do this, place the screen a head lower than your full height. Or you can simply provide additional access to light by leaving a small area on top of the screen.
If the doorway is wide enough, you can place the screen not over its entire length, leaving a temporary passage of smaller width, and, if necessary, open and close it completely. If you have skill in carpentry, you can easily make a screen for an opening or for a room in general with your own hands.
A screen door is an improvement on a regular screen. It is usually made from narrow wooden planks. It has an opening and closing mechanism similar to window blinds that are attached to the ceiling or floor.
It is preferable that it be attached to the ceiling - this way dirt will not get into the opening mechanism and there will be no need to constantly clean it, but in this case it is impossible to make the screen not the full height of the opening.
Usually it can be bought to order, ordered from a workshop, or occasionally found on sale in large stores. In any case, it will cost you a lot.
Roller blinds are another option for decorating a doorway that comes from windows. A roller blind for a window is a traditional solution when it is necessary to limit the access of light to a room on bright spring days.
A roller blind for a door can also be used. It is attached at the top and rolls out from top to bottom. At the bottom, it is advisable to have at least two fasteners and a rigid element at the bottom of the curtain.
The advantage of a roller blind is that you can, without using a door, close access to your room by lowering the curtain and securing it at the bottom. One of the disadvantages is that you will have to roll out the curtain, bending over each time, which will be inconvenient for older people.
It would be more convenient to use blinds in this regard. Having the same operating principle as roller blind By opening from top to bottom and closing from bottom to top, blinds allow you to make the doorway either completely closed or open, or partially open, leaving space between the half-open strips of the blinds.
However, they close and open much easier - you just need to pull a special thread. Among the disadvantages of blinds, it is worth noting the higher cost and often the inability to purchase sufficiently rigid and durable blinds that would be suitable not only for windows, but also for doors.
They can be purchased either at a furniture store, or ordered in any color and shade from a company that installs garage door shutters - they can make them for the room too. In terms of price, it will be much more expensive than installing a regular door.
