Designing Bedside Tables with Secret Storage Compartments

If you live in an area with high crime, you might want to consider ordering, designing or acquiring a bedside tables with hidden compartments to store your valuables – most notably jewelry or money. Many people add another layer of personal protection and store guns inside too – but also (no one will admit, of course) they are perfect for storing sex toys, vibrators and personal erotic accessories.

There are several companies that create furniture with hidden compartments and most people store guns and jewelry inside. It just so happens that you can store vibrators inside too! Today we’ll touch on what features are most important when designing a place to store your personal, sexual or valuable items in your bedroom.

Why Have Secret Storage in the Bedroom?

In my experience, the typical family will get a table and keep it in the living room, but if you think outside of the box a little bit – yes I know that can be taken in a multitude of funny ways, then you’ll find that purchasing one of these tables in using it in your bedroom is a great way to keep your secrets a secret!

I recommend also keeping your valuables in the bedroom because is children in the house discover the secret compartment in a coffee table for example, chances are they will be inquisitive (as kids do) and attempt to open the compartment, or find the key to see what’s hidden inside. If you use a table in the bedroom, chances are they might never even notice the secret compartment.

What Types of Personal Items would you Hide?

There’s an entire niche of bedroom design that’s not often talked about. The reality is millions of married couples have lubricants, sex toys and other erotic accessories in their bedroom to assist with lovemaking, but they lack a good, safe place to store them!

It’s important to keep these adult accessories away from kid’s eyes, and even the maid when she comes to clean the bedroom. Sure you can buy a vibrator online from any Adult Toy Shop and have sex toys shipped discreetly to your home, but then where do you store the vibrator discreetly? It’s a cross between arms storage and sex toy storage. Think bedside tables with hidden compartments, the perfect place to hide your sex toys!

One of the common issues you need to be aware is that sexual lubricants will sometimes leave a ring on the table, similar to the ring from a wine glass or coffee mug. Especially if the personal lubricant has some silicone compounds, which many do these days, you’ll need to make sure to line the base of the compartment with cloth and carpeting of some kind.

You can use paper towel, but there’s a good change it will leak through. Also you don’t want to the compartment to be air tight since it’s important for the vibrator to dry out after being washed. As with anything that’s put away wet, it can get moldy which can cause infection if used while moldy. Take the table and keep your naughty goods a secret from the prying eyes!

Sizing the Secret Compartments

It’s a fine balance between picking the size of the compartment and how noticeable it will be. Also consider how many different things you will put in it – maybe it’s better to have two smaller compartments instead of one bugger compartment.

Think about what you’ll be storing in there

–   Adult toys & vibrators (consider the size of your toy – make sure it will fit!)

–   Personal accessories like condoms and lubricants

–   Money (cash should be stored in a plastic bag so that it does not get wet from touching your bottle of lube, for example)

–   Guns (be sure to measure the lengths & width of your firearms and consider storage for ammo, too)

–   Jewelry (this should be kept away from other items, so if you are storing any of the above, make a 2nd drawer for your precious jewels)

Locking Hidden Drawer

The safest way to secure your personal items is with a lock, but how exactly do you hide a lock in a piece of furniture – wouldn’t it be easily noticeable? Yes, it will, but there are a few ways to keep the lock hidden. Seek out design instructions for locking drawers to see how you can configure of your own.

If you’re not into woodworking, you can order a design from someone, but be prepared to pay for the expertise because adding secret compartments is far more labor intensive compared to just a  regular table for your bedroom.
