However, there is a subtle, and rather fun, alternative to a life of crime. Hidden rooms. Having these secret spaces in your home provides so much potential to create an unexpected and unique element that sets it apart from the rest. With the rather awesome element of espionage aside, hidden rooms also have the potential to be an incredibly useful space. All around, creating a hidden room is a brilliant and creative project.
There’s a Wide Variety of Things That Could be Hiding a Secret…
The key to creating a secret and the inconspicuously hidden room is finding an effortless way to hide it so that no one suspects a thing. A hidden room can be placed pretty much wherever there is space, so the only thing that one really needs to worry about is covering it up. This can be done by using simple objects that no one expects to move. Some of the more common examples of these include cabinets, dressers, even full-length mirrors that double as doors. The more classic (and classy) an example is the bookshelf. Imagine, you could put together a pleasant little sitting area with two chairs enclosing a little table with bookshelves in the background, only to have one of them be false. You could even design a spare bedroom around a certain dresser hiding a secret.
Building the Room is Only the Beginning, Anything Could be Hidden Inside
The use of a hidden room is left to the imagination. It could be used to safeguard a sacred little reading nook, hidden from the toils of everyday life. A man cave could be hidden by a wardrobe only to be entered by the lads on poker night. Private movie screenings can be premiered in a secluded home theater. A hidden room can even be a fun place to have kids let their imaginations run wild.
As much as a hidden room can be used for entertainment or relaxation, it could also be used for safety and security. The safety of loved ones is no laughing matter, and hidden rooms can serve as a concealed and discreet safe room ready in case of emergencies. With the possibility of reinforcing the room, it can be used as a great form of security. With the idea of security in mind, a concealed and discreet safe room can easily house and protect important items and sensitive documents. With ever-growing concern for firearm safety, avid gun owners can use a hidden and protected space to efficiently store their firearms in sequestered safes.
Hidden rooms can be both safe and exciting, they’re something that can be used by anyone.
