Pros and cons of door blinds in the interior

Among the positive aspects of using such structures in the design of premises, the following can definitely be highlighted:

  • new solution in interior design;
  • an effective and convenient way to zoning a room;
  • control of luminous flux. If the lights are on in the house and the household members are not yet sleeping, you can always retire to your bedroom by simply closing the door;
  • blinds on the doors will close the room from prying eyes.

But besides the advantages, it is worth noting some disadvantages of such structures:

  • poor sound insulation;
  • difficulty in care;
  • a fairly large number of flimsy structures;
  • The most reliable option is metal roller shutters, but their price is appropriate.

Why are blinds instead of doors so popular?

In the interiors of both an apartment and a house, using blinds on a doorway can be a very interesting idea, which, among other things, has many advantages:

  • Light weight, thanks to which the structure will not burden ceilings and walls.
  • Originality and uniqueness of appearance compared to conventional canvases.
  • Unobtrusiveness and freeing up space. They do not take up much space, and if necessary, they can be completely raised or completely dismantled without deteriorating the appearance of the opening.
  • The ability to zone a room by installing a structure in the form of a partition.

But not every interior has blinds on doorways. Many are simply afraid to install them, since the designs have a list of disadvantages:

  • Low level of sound insulation. No blinds can provide the same protection from external noise as conventional door leaves. In addition, even with the help of seals it will be difficult to change the situation.
  • Less reliability. Over time, any product model, as well as its mechanisms, become unusable and lose not only their quality characteristics, but also their original appearance.
  • Difficult care. Slats can sometimes be quite difficult to clean from dust and dirt, which cannot be said about a regular door, which can be washed without difficulty.
  • Inability to protect the premises. In some cases, a reliable structure is required that will protect the room from outside penetration. Blinds cannot perform such a function, with the exception of roller shutters, which can protect to some extent.

Important! It is worth remembering that not every interior style will have louvered doors look laconic.

Varieties

There are several options for blinds for a doorway:

  • horizontal - sliding type of construction is often used instead of roller shutters and plumbing doors;

  • vertical - the most popular option for doors; In the manufacture of such blinds, fabric and plastic are usually used;

The dimensions of door blinds are identical to the dimensions of standard interior doors. When ordering blinds, you should carefully calculate the necessary parameters. Installation of the structure is carried out in two ways: on the opening and in the opening. In the first case, when installing the blinds tightly to the wall, you need to add 15-20 cm; in the second - 3 cm from each edge.

Where else can you hang roller blinds?

The wide range of application of roller blinds allows you to come up with something new every time, experiment and create a unique design in a single home.

Designers recommend replacing doors with roller shutters in the following cases:

  • When the kitchen is small. In Khrushchev-era apartment buildings built in the middle of the last century, the size of the kitchen rarely exceeds 6 square meters. m. As a result, you have to literally “fight” for every additional centimeter of usable space. A roller blind for the kitchen impregnated from odors and dirt, installed on a doorway instead of a door, will be an excellent replacement. During cooking, to prevent kitchen odors from seeping into the common room, it is lowered, and when the need to isolate the kitchen area disappears, it is raised to the very top. Another current solution is to install such a curtain on a glass insert.
  • When you need to arrange a corner for storing things. Sometimes designers recommend installing roller blinds instead of doors to the dressing room or instead of doors to the pantry, arranged in a niche. Behind a beautiful curtain you can quickly hide unnecessary things before guests arrive, and during cleaning, lift it and slowly sort out the accumulated trash. Such decor is always relevant, since in every room it will be in harmony with other textile elements, and if you get bored with the colors, over time it is not difficult to replace it without any special financial costs.
  • Instead of cabinet doors. Such canvases are used to decorate built-in wardrobes, ordinary wardrobes in small rooms, cabinets on balconies, loggias, and under window sills. Safe and easy to use fabric blinds are suitable for closets in a child's room.
