What's Behind the Door? A Secret Storage Solution
Hidden rooms and passageways are the stuff of mystery and fantasy novels. Now they are also a functional, fun and stylish way to solve space-saving issues in your home. The benefits of installing a Murphy door are many. These benefits include maximizing space, enjoying its aesthetic appearance and allowing greater room versatility. A Murphy door blends seamlessly into its surroundings to conceal a hidden room or an entryway. The door can be integrated with many rooms in your home, including the living room, den or home office, exercise room, walk-in closet, or pantry.
The choices are endless, as the doors can be single- or double-panel French-style doors, which can be customized to complement any existing décor.
Murphy doors can be pricey if you hire a pro to install them. If you are a skilled do-it-yourselfer, you will not want to skimp on safety. An important consideration is making sure to use the proper hinges, with weight ratios that match what the door will be used for.
Here are a few secrets I will share in hopes they will inspire you to consider a Murphy door.
Bookcase — One of the most popular design ideas is the Murphy bookcase door. The door features multilevel bookshelves that can be filled with books or small decorative items to camouflage what lies behind it. Depending on how wide your doorway is, the Murphy door can be single or double size.
Mirror — A full-length mirror on the Murphy door is a practical idea for concealing bedrooms or dressing rooms. Mirrors open up any drab room because they reflect light.
Pantry — To make the most of your kitchen space, consider Murphy pantry doors. The doors can be disguised as a built-in cabinet or a shelving unit, providing additional storage to complement the pantry space. A door that doubles as a spice rack to hide a pantry is another way to make the most of your kitchen space.
Dresser door with drawers — Murphy dresser doors can even sport drawers if they are needed, and they enhance any dressing room entryway.
Wine rack — For those who enjoy having bottles of their favorite wine handy but lack the space to display them, a wine rack built into a Murphy door is an option. Complete the theme with wineglasses and a small drop-down liquor cabinet.
If rooms are aesthetically misplaced in your home's flow, a Murphy door can hide a bathroom or a poorly placed closet. The result is something more interesting and functional.
