Just like a shop or a safe....build bigger than you think you will ever need. I plan on building a “room safe” when we build our new home. It won’t be hidden per say but dedicated nonetheless. I have an idea of what it is I’m looking for...we will see.
In a two story home you can easily build a coat closet under the stairs, with a false wall at the back and put the safe farther back under the stairs. Could also do the same through an upstairs closet into the attic. In a single story house, a long foyer or hallway can be used to build a hidden door and it would be harder to notice the missing square feet.

Looking to do a ranch style 3 bed with bonus room up stairs and 3.5 bath.
I have seen one that is hidden behind a bookshelf that has hidden wheels and is recessed into a wall. It's an interesting idea. I have thought about one of the in wall safes and putting it in the closet behind the wife's hanging clothes.
Give some more specifics of what you are looking to do? Size of hidden gun room, approximate sqft of house and preferred location in relation to master bedroom? There are endless specs and ways to build.
Got a friend who has one hidden in plain sight. It's a living room wall. The room is all Magnolia wood and trimmed out so the door edges are covered by the trim. Magnets hold the door shut. He just has a chair in front of it.
I’ve always thought having attic pull down stairs with a room built a few feet away (in the attic) with AC and all would be completely hidden and somewhere the kids would never explore or think of.
