Want to a know a little secret? To save money on modern trim, I actually just primed, painted, and installed 1 x 4’s as our baseboard. In the real world, ‘secret’ passageways can easily be incorporated and actually help streamline a the design of a room. I continued the same baseboard along the door as the wall, but I cut both pieces of baseboard trim at a 45 degree angle on the backside of the door to allow it to swing open fully. As children, many of us are drawn into architecture by the idea of secret passageways and hidden spaces. Make sure to align the slats with the door panels. Close the door, then measure, cut and apply your SlatWall panels to the surrounding wall with screws or grab adhesive.

The finishing touch for creating a door that blends in with the wall is to install baseboard. View our fitting guide for more information. After mudding, sanding, priming, and painting, the seams are so close together you barely see the line! To get the seams of the door really tight, I ran corner bead along the edges of both sheets of drywall: the wall and the edge of the door. They release and catch the door beautifully so there’s no need for a handle or knob protruding out. We installed two push latches that are magnetic on the inside, one on top and one on bottom. The door opens by pushing on it in the middle. To conceal these hinges a bit better, I simply painted them white with paint formulated to stick to metal. Our premium retractable screens for doors, windows and patios are custom designed to make your home more comfortable. When the door was constructed, we mounted it with regular door hinges because of how heavy it was. My contractor helped construct the main frame with simple 2 x 4’s, created a box he then screwed a piece of drywall onto. If you have a spot in your home you need to have a door but wish you didn’t, creating this could be a great solution! To find this bookcase door, you will need to look closely to see a gap in the doorway between. I wanted something that didn’t attract attention and allowed the eye to scan the space, skipping right over the door on this long blank wall. The hidden doorway design will be invisible against the wall.
