There's something quite alluring about a piece of furniture with hidden storage capacity, like something out of a spy film, your own taste of the James Bond life, even if your documents lean more towards hospital files than state secrets.
And no place is a touch of hidden storage more useful than by your bed. Whether it's so you can keep your valuable close to hand, in a spot where no one else will find them, or you just have certain items you'd rather not have on full display, having a spot you can store your belongings away, and feel safe in the knowledge that no one's going to stumble upon them brings a certain sense of comfort.
This line of thought is exactly why I was so excited to find the genius Brottar Bedside Table With Hidden Locking Drawer during my daily Amazon scroll. Not only does this table boast a smart and sleek design, but it also has one of the most surprising storage spaces I've ever seen.
Even just at first glance, there's a lot to like about this cool piece of bedroom furniture. With a sculptural, hexagonal design carved onto the facade, and an elegant wooden finish, it's the perfect accompaniment to a neutral bedroom in need of some more textural interest.
But it's not until you look a bit closer that it gets really exciting. Because, hiding above the deep drawer and spacious open storage compartment is an additional, hidden storage spot. That's right, tucked away under the surface of the table is a cleverly hidden drawer, the perfect spot for you to store away any jewellery, cash, or whatever else you want out of sight.
Unlike other lift-up mechanism desks, this smart, sliding design means you won't have to clear off the surface of your table to access the hidden compartment.
