Storing a doll in a guest room requires the highest level of discretion. The goal is to make the storage solution completely invisible or so ordinary that it raises no questions. With the right strategy, your guest room can be the perfect hiding spot.
The most effective approach is to use dual-purpose furniture. A large, stylish storage ottoman or a wooden bench with a hinged lid at the foot of the bed offers a significant amount of hidden space while serving as functional decor. No guest would think to look inside a piece of furniture they are actively using for seating or as a luggage rack. Just be sure to line the inside with soft blankets to protect the doll.
Another classic solution is under the bed. Invest in a low-profile, opaque plastic storage container, preferably one with wheels for easy access. These can slide deep under the bed, hidden by the bed skirt or duvet. For closet storage, avoid simply placing the doll in a bag. Instead, use a large, old suitcase. A suitcase in a guest room closet is completely normal and provides a rigid, protective, and unsuspected shell. You could also use a large, opaque bin labeled with something mundane like “Extra Linens” or “Winter Blankets.” By integrating the storage into the room’s expected contents, you ensure your privacy remains intact, even with company staying over.
