My first thought was to do floor to ceiling curtains in that spot, but what is the white box in the corner... a closet?

Can you fit your free standing cabinets in front of it so that it is completely blocked off?

It is the wall with the circuit breaker on it - the door was built to make it look like a closet.

The cabinets are built in

Maybe even put a small bench in front for putting shoes on or something.

my only concern with wallpaper is .. would it be odd that that was the only section wallpapered? since the last thing i want to do is make it a 'statement wall'

Maybe build a wood frame the size of door and insert a mirror with molding cut to fit? The frame would need to be thick enough for the mirror to clear the door handle. Or maybe a Mirror above and a dressing/makeup table attached below?

So many good ideas! thank you! Katharine, I have thought of the floor mirror but the door really needs to be accessible.

Can you build a closet in front of it? You hide the door and gain storage and still have escape access. Win/win/win.

I read a great story on here about Hidden Doors and Secret Passages. Here is the link: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/secret-passages-and-hidden-spots-stsetivw-vs~176940

Here are a couple of other inspiration pics with hidden doors:

No, I think the wallpaper would show like an interior brick wall, or chimney. And Denita’s great photos show you exactly what I meant.

jerseyfive - can you tell us more about your bedroom furnishings and what "looks" you prefer? We are all giving options, but have no idea what is in the room itself that we should be considering. Thanks!

I would say my look is 'upscale lodge' - a modern take on rustic. Neutral colors, varying textures, reclaimed wood.

OK - then I would look into how to get a recycled wood bookcase that would be hinged into this space and opened if needed. It would be a conversation piece and not too hard to pull off either. One piano hinge and one bookcase with a back. Think about that concept.

Thanks Flo - so the weight of it would really have to be mostly on the hinge/wall i assume. Do you have any pictures of this idea?

Yes, the weight is on the hinge side which is why you use a piano hinge. You would have to attach between the left side door opening and the various devices on the wall, but if done carefully that could work. Another possibility would be to put the piece on rollers that lock and make it fit into the open space. Not sure what you keep in that right hand cabinet, but this way you could easily access the little cabinet and the door if needed. I suspect the items in that cabinet are more seldom used items? So a couple of way to accomplish this. Let me see if I can find some photos, in addition to the ones posted above on "hidden doors".

Figuring out how to hang anything in this spot is what is tricky, but another possibility (don't know how your ceiling is configured) is to hang a panel from a ceiling sliding rod with a simple panel. They make these for windows and you could treat it as a window. Only with the rod in the ceiling. They make special devices to hang these from. I see possibly a smoke detector on that wall? Might be issues I can't see from here but here is the idea of a sliding couple of window panels.

I even considered double barn doors, but I suspect you don't have sufficient wall space for that solution.
