There's no Murphy Bed in this picture but wouldn't it be a great idea to create one this way? Just swing the bookcase out and pull the bed down from inside. A library and bedroom in one!

Reminiscent of du Maurier and Agatha Christie and mysterious English manors in general, this added swinging doorway segments this area and adds extra book storage.

Bonus: A bookcase that doubles as a secret door. I want one of these!Tell us: Have you found some sneaky storage space somewhere in your home? Let us know in the Comments!

Every high-tech home needs a hidden stairway...has to be mandatory in my book! :)

This photo had us all seriously craving our own secret passage.

Every good decorating spy needs a quick escape route. Seriously...you really thought those were just bookshelves? Silly Spy! It's back to Spy Class 101 for you! What items have you placed in the witness protection program in your home? In mine, all the remotes are hidden away inside what sneakily appears to be a chess box. Please share your home design and decorating "clues!" :-)

I like to think that up those stairs is a comfy armchair, just right for escaping with a good book.

2. A secret passageway. What could be more fun than a secret passageway? This one provides extra book storage for a bibliophile and gives hidden access to a stairway. You could even take it a step or 10 further and add a panic room.More Secret Passageways and Nooks

could do built-ins like this with bookshelves

Use a closet as a library, but have a custom book shelf door made?

this is an idea i thought of doing as a "easy access" to the upper floors. away to take things up to my Loft that are to cumbersome to go up the spiral staircase. Such as a couch or pool table , ect.
