hm.... will try carefully tomorrow but how to deal with some details on this wall placed inside the room? Like doors, paintings etc... Or ceiling lamp in case of ceiling matting?

Why would you want to do this? Why not just place the camera in the room with a very short focal length? Wide angle lens distortion can easily be fixed in post.

You could use Skp 2 side material. Place the desired wall material in the front and let the back material as none = transparency.
