Here are some examples of how a lift could be hidden from view:
1. Behind Bookcases
Bookcases that have been designed to swing open or slide sideways are already in use for providing access to hidden rooms, there is no reason why they could not also be used for concealing a lift within a room.
2. Behind Matching Internal Doors
Doors can be made to match other internal doors or existing wall panels within a room. When opened the new matching doors would reveal the lift doors, call station floor buttons and the lift cabin.
3. Behind Large Mirrors
Modern, antique or retro mirrors could also be used to conceal lift doors.
4. Behind Converted Furniture
Antique wardrobes and cupboards could be converted into secret doors which would open to reveal a lift.
5. Behind Wooden Wall Panels
6. Behind Pictures and Screens
Traditional or cutting-edge modern art, the choice is endless. Art is a very personal choice with clients and interior designers probably all having their own opinions and preferences. Pictures and other items have been used for many years to conceal safes and strong rooms.
7. Behind Modern Textured Wall Panels
For contemporary properties modern wall panels could be used as an alternative to tradition wall panels for providing hidden access to a lift.
