17 Reasons To Fall In Love With Secret Doors

Is there any home remodel more self-indulgent than a secret door or passageway? Perhaps not. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t brilliant. We all know the stories of medieval castles with their emergency exit strategies for under siege and the nobles fleeing persecution during the French Revolution through hidden bookcases in their aristocratic mansions. Secret doors behind artefacts and sarcophagi protected Ancient Egyptian burial chambers from tomb-robbers, concealed trap doors enabled Prisoners of War to escape detention through escape tunnels and underground passageways allowed bootleggers to smuggle alcohol into speakeasies during the US Prohibition. Besides, a good detective story isn’t complete without a secret passage allowing the culprit to commit crimes - completely impossible for the reader to guess, of course.

Yet, what about in the twenty-first century? It seems there’s something eternally charming about the mystery of secret doors and the humble pleasure of secret rooms, from reading nooks to trick bookcases, hidden in minimalist walls or tucked away in staircase hollows. A number of companies offer custom-made secretive entrances and passageway packages for you to stay young at heart with the thrill of childhood adventure, including Creative Home Engineering and the Hidden Door Company. You might be more hard pressed to find such speciality companies within Australia - but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good drool over these magical secret door ideas.
