14 Secret Bookcase Doors, Always Fun And Always Mysterious

I’m sure you remember those movies when someone entered an office or library and suddenly a secret door appeared and the bookcase opened to reveal another room. It’s a detail that, for some reason, is very appealing for everyone. Maybe it’s the mystery or the suspense that is created when the door is opened or maybe it’s just the fact that everyone likes to have something that they feel is only theirs, a secret space that nobody knows about.

1 | A secret bookcase door under the stairs, cleverly hidden from everyone

1-kids-secret-doorBut secret bookcase doors are actually not that difficult to incorporate into a home’s design. You just have to find the opportunity to make the transformation. For example, if, at one point, a certain door in your room needs to be replaced, preferably a door somewhere underneath the stairs or a door that leads to another room, then you can use this opportunity to transform it into a secret bookcase door.

14 | Large wall bookcase with a secret door that reveals a hidden bathroom

14-bookcase-hidden-wallYou can either make it disappear into the wall completely or allow it to stand out one way or another. If the internal structure of your home allows you to, you can even find a small room and hide it behind a bookcase with a secret door. That tiny room can be your quiet place, where you can read, listen to music or simply relax and get away from everything whenever you need some peace and quiet. There are lots of ideas and possibilities. We’re only going to explore a few and hopefully you can use the following examples as inspiration for your own project.

  • Toledo truly has the most beautiful historic homes. This is one of my favorite Victorians in the Old West End. I am still amazed by the affordability of these one-of-a-kind properties in fantastic communities.

  • This old building, originally a mill was left neglected for years until Czech-based @stempel_tesar [IG] Architects gave it a new life. The architects have turned this mill in tatter into a housing unit worth modern dwellers.
The client approached the architects with the idea of transforming this structure into an oasis for peace and quiet. The idea has been put to perspective most deftly through radical alteration to the original form.

The two-story building was cut into two parts and the roof in between these parts was left exposed to let natural light and air into living spaces comprising floor-to-ceiling glass walls. This makes two separate interior spaces in the house.
One part has the living room, kitchen, and bedroom while the other one just serves as a dining room or workspace. There are all the required amenities inside needed to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

The entrance has been kept nearly untouched except for the addition of a contemporary walkway made in steel. It is mainly the roof and interiors that have been made to fit the modern-day lifestyle. This renovated old mill was a finalist of the #Czech Awards for Architecture.
