The first idea would be to try and get a storage unit built behind the bed. There are many perks to it, and you can even install a vault there. It is practical as you will be sleeping on the bed, while very few people will ever suspect a hidden passage behind the bed.

To hide it, using the over-the-top heads with pillows would be a great addition. You can also make do with other decorations like wooden panels and much more.

2. Wall Panels Without Handles

If you check the first image, there are rectangular panels in the bedroom. Similarly, in the second image, you can see them on the walls. These panels can be the shelves or storage cabinets but without handles.

You can use the push-to-open type locks on them, among other things. It is a great way to hide things in plain sight. How’s that? By adding more panels like these throughout the house, you can increase your storage while making the house look clean. More importantly, anyone would think it is just a design, especially if you place things like chairs, and tables nearby.

3. Textured Closets And Shelves

It isn’t one of the invisible design ideas, but it still works. Having textured closets and shelves, like in the image above, can often hide things in plain sight. If you enhance the broken or bent lines and expand it to an entire wall, people will think it is just a texture.

They wouldn’t check it for the storage, while you can have unconventional storage spaces. It is one of the best plays to hide things or to confuse people about where to look.

4.  Blending The colours For Hiding Storage Units

Next up is a more simple trick, which works nicely. You can add colour themes that would work with the style or colour of the wall. This can easily hide most closets or make the openings unclear. The blurred spaces or unknown storage will add to the secure storage. Nobody would dare to open them, especially in your bedroom, without your permission.

For instance, the wall next to the bed is a closet wall. It has become a common practice to divide a room by using a closet and make it act as a wall. But as there isn’t any visible handle that it matches the backdrop of bed, it looks like a decorative wall.

5. The Shelf Illusion

Sometimes, it is better to give people something to look at if you want to hide things. The above-given shelf design is a brilliant idea. As you can see, there’s a massive wooden panel or wall with a shelf built into it. Now, any average individual would look at the shelf and check that stuff out.

But what if the wooden panels led to a secret storage room or worked as a closet? That would be a brilliant place to hide things. It works very well. People also use the same approach to build hidden doorways that lead to a storage room, among other things.
