Traditional architecture continues to reinvent itself, embracing designs that combine functionality and space optimization without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. One of the trends that has gained the most traction is frameless doors, an option that, according to an article by the Living Arquitecta studio, is increasingly favored in its projects.
An article in Interiores magazine highlights that this design looks better than traditional doors and reveals that by forgoing these elements, the house appears larger and with greater visual depth. "They look much better than traditional doors," it states.
An idea to give the feeling of more space at home
The publication advocates for leaving doors without any upper elements, both interior and exterior. It emphasizes that these doors look better than traditional ones and reveals some of their advantages. "A door without a top frame that ends directly at the ceiling appears longer and gives a feeling of spaciousness and greater height," it explains.
This new architectural strategy has another very beneficial aspect when it comes to renovations: its budget . It's been shown that these designs are more affordable than classic examples, and since there's no need to add a frame, savings are ultimately achieved when renovating a space.
The article details the three best ways to incorporate this trend into your home:
Wooden doors: With a direct connection to the exterior, wood has been chosen as the primary material. Since there is no frame, this material occupies the entire length of the entrance, playing a prominent role and creating a contrast with the otherwise understated design.
In white: Ideal for interiors, this door blends seamlessly into the background for two reasons. First, because it has no frame, creating a sense of continuity with the ceiling and walls. Second, because it's finished in white, like the rest of the extensions, it integrates perfectly into the room.
textured door : one of the most affordable options for adding texture to a space. Ideal for the kitchen, its frameless design makes the room feel taller and more spacious. Furthermore, its beige finish adds a warm touch to this white-painted room.
With this new proposal, the architects invite us to rethink the role of the traditional frame, demonstrating that perceiving it can be a smart solution for those seeking larger, more contemporary, and aesthetically integrated spaces.
