Hiding a gun cabinet / safe?

What methods have members used to 'hide' their cabinets and safes? I know there's no legal requirement to do so, other than the guidance to 'keep it out of sight via windows'.

There's some genius solutions in the States (examples below) as they're generally ahead of the curve anyway in all things firearm - but what about us lot?

How do you conceal/camouflage yours? Pics would be welcome.

Furniture as in the top pic is available here but it's scary expensive. My safe is out in the open in a spare bedroom.

Looks like 2 safes & 3 hidey holes

The latter would possibly not pass muster with the FEO - be bloody good for a wind up of the new bloke type FEO though (as long as you had a genuine safe to reveal once he'd stopped steaming from all orifices)

Inside an Ikea wardrobe, and the whole lot bolted to the wall.Theres plenty of room for the cabinet and storage for bags and coats etc.To any visitors it looks like nothing more than a wardrobe.

I was planning to build a cupboard around mine but the FLO said I don't need to bother, it's already well out of the way

Soon to be a tenant, I'm thinking more about the landlord snooping and would rather avoid awkward questions. ;)

Only a couple of grand!

I'm pretty unimpressed by the extra 40% postage if you live in the Highlands though.

That is the sort of thing that gets Yes votes for the Independence campaign.

I won't use companies that apply such levies or use such couriers.
