My friend has an elevator in their house and its actually quite useful. You wouldn't even know its there - It just has a door on the front like every closet in the house. You would think it was a closet unless you opened the door. I think there is an internal accordion style door, but you just have a regular door in the room.

If you have the opportunity to put it in now I would do so. Not enough houses are universally designed, in my opinion, and it could be a selling point down the road.

Here's one idea: You could hang vertical strips of wood at least 1/2 inch deep where the shelves would screw into the wall. This way, you attach the shelves to the strips instead of the walls. If these strips are then painted the same color as your wall, they may be barely noticeable once you fill up the shelves. You'd still see a gap between the shelf and wall on the ends, however.

Too many posts about wallpaper lately.
