ᐅ "Concealed" door with drywall construction

Hello everyone,

We would like to separate the space under the staircase with a door or an opening. Since the area will be used for storage and won’t be accessed very often, the "door" does not need to be easy or quick to open. It is more important that the door remains unnoticed.

Do you have any ideas on how to achieve this? My current idea is to install a drywall partition, but instead of screwing it in firmly, I would attach it to the studs using magnets. I would leave a small hole in one corner so the panel can be released with a finger.

The railing on the right is a steel structure covered with drywall.

Simply use a flush door

Make a door leaf cut flush to the frame without a rebate and mount the door not on a hinge, but pivot it on an axis located at 15-25% of the door width. Of course, you lose some clear passage width, but you can achieve extremely narrow and barely visible door gaps. I sketched it roughly with my finger.

So far, we have ruled out doors because on the one hand, you would see the gap within the surface (not just on the side). Also, we would need a door handle. Such doors do look very sleek, of course.

Hmm, because it is a different topic. Usually, one should treat only one topic per thread so that other users can more easily find relevant information on similar issues.

Hmm, interesting idea. Thanks! We’ll have to think about how we could implement that and then weigh the pros and cons. Obviously, there would be a smaller clear opening, and I would have to somehow fix the rotation axis into the flooring. So far, I prefer a solution where I only need to fix it laterally to the walls. But I’ll take a closer look at this.

I would solve this with two furniture cabinet doors using soft-close technology without handles. You can highlight this with a color accent. It is also possible with just one door, but that would probably be about 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide and would extend fully into the hallway when opened.

This also works with a fixed panel, allowing you to build shelves behind it.
