The 8 Best Secret Room Design Ideas

You should make use of space very efficiently while designing your home decor. If free space is left after you have planned your bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom, you should consider creating another room. This can be a secret room. Needless to say, a secret room will be a great addition to your rooms designs. You can use the place for various purposes. In case you are not sure about to use it in your home decor, here are a few ideas you can consider: 

01 of 06 Plan a secret room behind your bookshelf 

You have seen this secret room idea in movies repeatedly. A secret room behind a bookshelf is used for hiding various things. It can be an amazing addition to your room interiors. You will be able to enjoy your peaceful time there. Just make sure that the hinges used for holding the bookshelf are of good quality and can hold the weight of the shelf. Poor-quality hinges may support a regular door but will not be able to handle the weight of a bookshelf for very long. Also, make sure that the bookshelf closes properly. You do not want any gaps in the edges that may give away the secret room location.

02 of 06 Make use of the attic by creating a secret room 

Most homes in India do not have an attic. Unfortunately, those who have it do not put the space to good use. People mostly use it as a storeroom, and the space stays very untidy and unorganised. You can prevent this space from going to waste by creating a secret room in this place. This is a great idea because you cannot create any other room there because of its awkward shape. All you need is some mattresses, throw blankets, and cushions, and you will have a perfectly cosy space to spend some quality time together with the family. Just make sure that you plan the space according to the shape of the attic. Also, consider creating a bathroom so that you do not have to go down repeatedly. 

03 of 06 A secret room behind your wardrobe 

Have you seen the movie The Chronicles of Narnia? Do you remember how the kids traveled to the other world through a wardrobe? Well, you can choose the same idea for your home interior design. A secret wardrobe room can prove to be very beneficial. This idea is similar to the secret bookshelf room idea. The wardrobe will have a false back that can be opened and closed when required. Many people prefer this option over other alternatives as the secret room stays attached to the bedroom. You can use it for hiding as well in case intruders break into your home. 

04 of 06 A secret room with a false wall

Yoga and meditation have lots of benefits. You should practise them every day to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, it is not always possible for people to go outside and practice yoga. This is why creating a space in the home is better. However, doing yoga and meditation at home can get difficult as there are higher chances of getting distracted. You can easily solve this problem by creating a secret room for your meditation and yoga. It will allow you to concentrate better. 

A movable false wall can be created for this meditation and yoga room. While it will appear like a regular wall from one side, you will have a secret room on the other side. 

05 of 06 Create a secret study room inside your cupboard

Many people have a huge cupboard in their bedrooms. Although a big cupboard is a great idea for your bedroom, you can make use of the space more efficiently. This can be easily done by creating a hidden study in your cupboard. While the top shelf can be used for keeping various items like books and other items, the lower shelf can be used for keeping the laptop. You just have to add a chair to the setup to make it complete. Make sure that the chair is comfortable so that you can sit on it for long hours and work. Otherwise, your back will start to hurt. 

When you are done with your work, you will just have to close the cupboard and your study will not stay visible anymore. If it is a part of your bedroom, choose a design for your study that will complement it. 

06 of 06 Use a sliding wall panel for creating your secret office space

Since the inception of Covid, many people have switched to permanent work-from-home. These people require a dedicated space for working. Therefore, a home office has to be created. It is a brilliant addition to your room interiors because you will be able to work in peace in your office. This will help to increase your productivity and efficiency. However, many people do not have a huge house design for a large office. If you are one of them, do not worry! You can create a secret office space that will not occupy a lot of space or stay visible. It is not a very difficult task. You can easily do it by choosing a wooden sliding wall panel instead of a regular door.
