In Europe, we do get some „hipster“-wormtower made out of some sort of ceramics – it‘s called a wormupHOME (wormup.ch).
I own one myself for just the reason, that I needed to compromise with my roommate…

I spent the afternoon converting an old dresser into a worm compost bin. With a divider down the center, the idea is to replicate the horizontal migration style compost bin. I removed the drawers and added cedar pickets to match the theme in my greenhouse, but for the OP, you could stripe down an old dresser, remove the front panels from the drawers and permanently glue/screw them back-on. Put a divider down the middle and, voila, furniture/worm compost! No one would need to know 🙂

Ive been researching starting my own worm colony here in VA. While googling for a local worm vendor I found that a nearby county had posted a vermiform posting project for kids. Just google “worm farm; Hanover, VA” to find it…. The project uses large cool whip tubs though I was thinking butter tubs or any Tupperware could work. They start with just 10 worms! Something this scale could easily be stored under a sink or in any furniture!
Another idea I had… At Ikea’s they sell these hanging plastic bin / drawer systems really cheap. Something like that could work as long as it was installed in a cupboard or dark place since there are no lids on the tubs… I guess a piece of cardboard could work though.

Maybe the furniture that is used for cat litter boxes would work with worm bins?

@Ryan ~Excellent instructional video! Let us know how your worms like their new home, Ryan. I thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge online.

Since i actually got inspired by looking at Amy Youngs work.A while back i was trying to think about this from a man cave perspective.Needless to say it isn’t hard for ideas to pop into my head.I’m not a furniture type person.But what i intend to build is a worm bin(flowthru)out of a mans mechanics style tool box.Don’t be surprised if you see someone sell them now! But i just want to make one!Don’t forget where you heard it from if you see someone selling these on television! LOL!But you’d never know it was a worm bin.You just got to use a tool box with the big bottom compartment instead of a drawer.Trick is you only use the drawer faces and insulate the inside from moisture.One cool man cave flowthru!

What about a bin with a solid top a little larger, spacers to elevate the lid for ventilation, and a lacy or holey cloth to cover it. Like an end table or hall table. I keep my bin in a hardly used shower.

I was allowed to keep an indoor bin as long as the bin matched the curtains. This year we decided to set up holiday time in our back room where I keep my worm bins. I had to put my 32 gallon bin in the spare bath tub with the shower curtain closed (it’s doing well). Most family and friends kept asking me “you still got all those worms?” and I replied they are in the bath tub, nobody noticed because of no smell and no bugs.
