Creating a hidden door can add a touch of intrigue and mystique to any room in your home, while also keeping the room's aesthetic clean and consistent. By constructing a door that blends in with the surrounding wall, you can create a secret storage area, a hidden room, or simply a unique design element. How Do You Create a Hidden Interior Door? The hidden door look is achieved by cladding both an interior door, as well as a section of the wall around it, in one consistent material. By making the door and the wall the same material (that is ideally nearly seamless) the door becomes nearly invisible when it's closed. Of course, this is impossible to do with just plain ol' drywall. To achieve a true hidden door, you'll need a wall material with its own texture that will appear uniform when the door isn't in use (i.e. when it's closed). There are all kinds of decorative wall panelling that can be used for a project like this, and one creative, modern option is using pre-made wood slat acoustic panels. Today, we'll look at not only some beautiful hidden door inspiration photos, but also give you some 9 clear steps on how to create a wood slat hidden door in your own space. Materials Needed: Wood slat panels Pre-Hung Flush Door Black drywall screws Drywall anchors Circular saw Jigsaw (optional) Drill Drill bits Measuring tape Level Step 1: Measure your Space The first step in creating your hidden door is to measure the opening where you want the door to be located. Measure the height and width of the opening to figure out what size of pre-hung door you'll need. Next, measure the space around the opening and decide how far you want the wood slat feature wall to extend beyond the doorway. This will help you in calculating how many panels you'll need. Because you'll be covering the door in panelling as well, you'll want to calculate the total square footage of the space, including the doorway. Once you have that, you can use our handy Box Calculator on the product page to calculate how many panels you'll need for your project. 9️⃣ Have 9' ceilings?

Step 2: Install the Pre-Hung Flush Door in the Doorway For most DIYers, a pre-hung flush door is the best choice for a project like this. A door can be custom-built from MDF or wood, but that's a whole other project in of itself. For today, we're going to assume you're using a pre-hung door, or have already had a flush door built-in. Install your pre-hung flush door in the doorway, ensuring it is square and swinging freely. Don't install the handle just yet! If your builder or installer is building the door from scratch, they're probably trying to figure out what hinges to use for a wood slat hidden door. The answer can vary depending on the space, but in general you'll want to use recessed or hidden hinges to avoid any interference with the wood panelling and keep the hardware
