Similar to positron's suggestion, but available locally:

We have these at home. I think they look pretty cool.

If you're looking for a non permenant solution (even to try) I have a minoura gravity stand not longer being used https://www.amazon.co.uk/Minoura-Gravity-Indoor-Storage-Stand/dp/B0031ID9T2

it might give you an idea of how much room (vertical and depth) the bikes take up

I feel your pain, I also live in a north Dublin inner city terrace which I'm battling to fit two bikes into! Luckily we've a bit of a small garden out the back so I'm trying to figure out something like yourself but on one of the garden walls instead. It's all about finding that balance to maximise the space but also not make them totally take up the area visually.

I wonder would there be some kind of solution where there's actually a panel over the bikes in your sitting room so you can't see them once theyre up on the wall? might help them fit into a unit visually a bit better.

I think the vertical racks give the best option if you have enough of a gap between door and wall. I just bought a bunch of these similar to the Steadyrack above though not as bulky or expensive.

If you stack them head to toe so the handlebar of one is opposite the saddle of the other it takes up less space.

I think it would look cool to have a fully built in unit across the full width of the wall with a section where you hang the bikes. You would have room beneath for drawer storage.

Here’s the one I purchased. It rotates also and you can buy ones that rotate both ways.

Something like this only better

I use the ClUG bike rack at home

Inexpensive solution to racking a few bikes. A single fitting onto your wall and the bikes are stored vertically. You can see in the picture below that we have 3 bikes stored with a width of just over 5 foot or 1.6M.

Depending on the space you would have left over you could put a shelf above the front wheels of the bikes and a shelving unit on one side and these could take your training gear etc.

Removing front wheel and hanging tight to frame alongside the bike help any perhaps? Im sure the wheel would still be inside the width of the handlebar.

Probably similar to walking on your living room carpet in mucky boots
