#13: Secret Staircase
Who wouldn’t want their table to turn into a super-secret staircase leading downstairs? This is simply brilliant. No one can accidentally fall in, and if you don’t point it out, it’s impossible to even know it’s there! Personally, I’ve always loved spiral staircases, and I think this one is a bit more than mildly interesting!
Hidden staircases have been around for hundreds of years. If you want your own, be sure to adhere to all local building requirements, so they are safe. Oddly enough, though, these staircases are a huge no-no if you follow Fung Shui. They say it’s like a colossal screw burrowing a hole into your life. Yikes!
