Question

Is it a good idea to make my study table my secret spot?

Community Answer

No. Study tables and desks are more obvious places in bedrooms, unless you can hide under or behind it, somehow. Corners and less obvious places are the best places to create a hideout.

Question

How can I make one under a loft bed?

Community Answer

Hang a large sheet or tapestry off the side of your bed (securing the sheet by tucking it under your mattress). This makes a curtain/wall so you have a closed off space underneath. It’s a nice, large space you can fill with whatever you want.

Question

Can I make a secret room in the wall?

Community Answer

That would be extremely difficult because you'd probably have to cut open the wall with power tools. Definitely talk this over with your parents before doing anything.

Question

What if I can't find a good spot? I have a small room, my bed is against a corner near a window, and I have a computer desk with cables underneath.

Community Answer

Do you have a closet you could use? You could also try to secure the cables under your desk with zip ties so they're out of your way and use that space.

Question

How can I make a secret place in a bare room with no potential hiding spots?

Community Answer

Use furniture to make yourself a nook. A closet always works, too.

Question

What should I do if I share a room with a sibling?

Community Answer

If you've already got a secret place in mind, just ask your sibling if it's okay if you use that space, and ask them politely to respect your privacy while you're in there. You could even ask them to help you set it up, and then the two of you could take turns using it.

Question

How do I decorate it so it looks super cool if I don't have any money to buy stuff and I can't paint?

Community Answer

Use a large piece of posterboard and paint it to your taste. Design some different patterns on paper and use a thumbtack to secure it onto the posterboard. This will allow you to experiment with different designs.

Question

I want to hide behind something - how do I make a passageway there?

Community Answer

Making a passageway is risky, especially if your hideout is inside, so instead create a way to get inside that is not obvious.

Question

I have stuff in my closet, but I want to use it. Thoughts?

Community Answer

Just move stuff around until you've got enough space. You could always store some stuff under your bed or in another area of your room, or just move stuff out of your closet while you're using it for your secret place, then move it back when you're done.

Question

I want to use my closet for my secret space, but it doesn't have a door. How can I hide myself in it anyway?

Community Answer

Hang a sheet or curtain over the door area. You can use tape to attach the sheet, a staple gun (if you're allowed), or you could just drape the sheet over the rod in your closet and hide behind it.

Question

How do I make a secret place in my room if I'm not creative?

Community Answer

If you aren't creative, then just add some pictures, maybe a pillow, a beanbag if your secret spot is a closet, and some lights. It'll look good even if you aren't creative.

You could make the secret place in your closet, or you could build a fort of some kind using your furniture, along with sheets and blankets.

Question

How can I make it cozy?

Black crystal

Community Answer

You can add some rugs or carpets on the floor, and put in some pillows down for you to lean on. Putting some (dim) lights would also work. Plus, you could bring in your favorite stuffed toys.

Question

Can I make a secret room behind my bed?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

If you have space to do so behind your bed, then why not? This could be an excellent disguise for your secret spot if people can only see the bed and think that there is nothing else there. Just be careful that the bed can't be accidentally moved and squash you when you're in the secret room.
