Wallpaper Doors: When wall and door work as one

Simplicity is one of the most powerful forms of architectural expression. Clean lines, smooth surfaces and consistent restraint lend modern interiors a sense of structure, calm and openness. Within this design context, one particular door concept is gaining prominence by deliberately stepping into the background: the wallpaper door. Also known as a flush-to-wall door, it blends almost invisibly into the wall – a prime example of minimalist elegance.
With no visible frame, often without handle and finished in the same texture or colour as the surrounding wall, wallpaper doors dissolve the traditional boundary between door and wall. This pared-back approach creates a new spatial quality, particularly in premium residential and commercial settings.
Whether used as a discreet connecting door, a clever solution for side rooms or as part of a wider spatial concept, this special type of door introduces visual calm and makes interiors appear bigger and more open. To ensure the door truly disappears from view, the technical planning must be all the more precise.
Hinge technology plays a central role here. With the concealed hinge system TECTUS, SIMONSWERK offers a solution that perfectly supports the design principle of flush fitting – delivering not just visual appeal, but technical excellence too. The innovative hinge system can support door weights of up to 300 kilograms and is suitable for unrebated heavy-duty and functional doors made of timber, steel or aluminium.
Even oversized door formats and demanding materials can achieve a fully flush appearance – in perfect keeping with minimalist architecture. The TECTUS A8 model even allows for claddings of up to 8 millimetres on both the door and frame construction, opening up a wide range of new design possibilities.
Wallpaper doors create clear spatial structures and draw attention to what truly matters. With the right hinge systems from SIMONSWERK, they can be integrated flush with the wall, offering not only a refined aesthetic, but also the highest level of technical precision.
