Door portals: design ideas

Door portals separate several rooms. There are different ideas for decorating the passage, so if you wish, you can create a unique design of the room, choosing the option that you like.

To begin with, it is worthwhile to figure out what are the features of the door portals that make out the passage from room to room. Unlike traditional swing structures, the door portal allows you to save space in the room, which is one of its main advantages.

If you want to combine two rooms, for example a living room and a kitchen, then there is no better solution than a wide doorway. Here you can do without sliding doors, so as not to divide the space at all. Both rooms will be perfectly visible, and it will seem that this is one room, which is simply divided into two zones.

In addition, such a design move looks unusual and attractive. There are many design options for both the portal itself and the adjacent walls. This means you can experiment by combining different stylistic directions.

Finally, it is worth noting that the installation of a door portal allows you to strengthen the passage and make it more reliable. This is important both in an apartment and in a private house.

All door portals can be divided into several varieties. Firstly, they are entrance and interior. The division system is quite clear. Entrance portals are called portals that complement the front door. This makes the entrance look more massive and impressive. As for the interior portals, they can be open or complemented by sliding doors.

Variety is also found in terms of materials. Let's take a look at a few of the most popular ones that are used to design transitions.

One of the most affordable, and therefore the most common options, is plastic. A PVC door portal can be combined with a base made of other materials, such as wood. One of the main advantages of plastic is that you can give it any look you want. This material can imitate natural wood, stone or brickwork.

Another interesting and sophisticated design option for a door portal is the use of polyurethane. This material makes it possible to create an imitation of expensive gypsum stucco on the wall surface. At the same time, it also has the advantage of being lighter in weight than gypsum. So the structure will not collapse over time or make the passage less reliable.

True, this version of the passage design is not suitable for all premises.

Initially, stucco molding from this material is white, but if you wish, you can repaint it at your discretion.

The doorway can also be framed with stone cladding. If you use natural material, then such a design solution will cost you dearly. However, it all looks really stylish and is highly practical and durable.

A material called clinker is also popular. It looks like brick tiles. Used exclusively for decoration. Most often, in this way they make out a wooden passage in country houses or spacious apartments. Very often, the front door is decorated in a similar way.

When decorating a room in high-tech style, metal portals look best. Here, designers most often do without any additional decor. The metal is highly resistant and looks quite stylish in many rooms.

Today, many door companies also offer a wide range of door portals. Let's take a look at a few of the most popular ones today.

• "Cabinetmaker". One of the most famous domestic brands is Krasnoderevshchik. This company specializes in the production of high-quality and temperature-resistant doors. Door portals from this brand are wear-resistant and can be easily cleaned from contamination with an ordinary detergent.

• Belwooddors. This company is the most popular in Belarus and is gradually becoming known outside its borders. Doors and portals from this brand are sold in seventeen countries and are considered to be of sufficient quality.

• Mario Rioli. Finally, it is worth mentioning the world-famous Italian brand. With proper care, the door portal will remain durable and attractive for a long time. True, a lot of money will have to be paid for the installation of such a quality product.

The most popular doorway design options, despite their great variety, remains the classic rectangle. Now even such a simple portal can be designed in an interesting way.

When choosing the right design option, you should pay attention to the parameters of the room. So, for example, in a small room with low ceilings it is better to install a wide arch so that it visually lifts the ceiling, and in a room with high ceilings - a narrow elliptical one that visually “lowers” ​​the ceiling, make the interior more comfortable.

In a room with high ceilings, designers recommend installing arches of classical shapes and sizes, while they can be not only rectangular, but also with rounded edges. Non-standard solutions like asymmetric arches or abstract structures, as if tilted in one direction or another, also look interesting.

Door portals differ depending on the style in which they are made. One of the most famous options is the classic-style arches. They are usually elliptical or rectangular in shape. Such openings are always symmetrical. Sometimes along the edges they are complemented by columns for greater showiness.

The design of doorways with luxurious arches and portals in the Empire or Baroque styles is typical. This style differs from the classics by the abundance of decorative elements. Portals can be decorated with stucco, gilding or any other types of decor.

The design of door portals is also typical for modern styles, for example, for techno, minimalism or modern.It uses unusual arches that almost never look alike. The doorway may look like a passage to a spaceship. Simpler solutions - decorating the doorway with a discreet metal arch, laconic lamps or light lacquered wood.

Finally, it is worth noting the most charming version of the door portal - arches in a romantic and vintage style. In this case, the shapes are soft, there are practically no sharp corners. Expensive materials or their stylization are used. The color scheme is pleasing to the eye.

When the door portal is selected and installed, it is time to design it. Here, too, you need to show imagination. In order for the doorway to be combined with the rest of the interior details, you need to skillfully select decorative elements for the overall interior.

The simplest solution is to use curtains for this purpose. There are several types of curtains, which, like the doorway itself, are made from different materials. Curtains are always affordable and can easily fit into almost any interior.

They look interesting in a modern style bamboo curtains... This variety is made from recycled wood. They consist of many beads and sticks that are connected to each other. Their colors, as a rule, are neutral and natural, so they fit very well into eco-style and are combined with eclectic elements.

Filament curtains also look unusual - muslin... To create them, thin laces of various colors are used. In addition to such a base, there may be all sorts of additional elements such as small beads, shells or pebbles. They add originality and identity to the overall style.

If you are decorating a room in ethnic style, then you will love blackout curtains with matching patterns. Dense material with interesting painting or bright ornaments will perfectly fit into the overall interior of the room, combining with its other details.

Another obvious solution is to install sliding doors in the aisle. But we are not interested in the installation process itself, but in the issue of their design. Here, too, there are many design options - from the simplest decoration of the door surface with painting or photo printing to decor with airbrushing or stained glass inserts.

The last of the proposed options is not the design of the doorway itself, but the arch around it. If you like minimalism, then you will hardly find this method attractive, although you can choose such an eye-pleasing stylistic solution as decorating a portal with neutral stone cladding or brickwork.

In the event that the abundance of decor attracts you, pay attention to the stucco molding, bas-reliefs and other elements that used to decorate only the houses of the nobility. Now almost everyone can easily afford them, so take this opportunity and decorate your house or apartment with taste.
