Use unstoppable wallet or other like Electrum. Keep small amount of Bitcoin on the wallet and plan to get your own private space.
Keep your mobile out of reach, don't give it out and don't let anyone connect anything to the wallet behind your back. The best on is keeping your dear mouth shut.
In such a home it's better not to talk about your involvement with crypto because if anyone in the house has tendency for stealing things they will surely hunt for your crypto wallet.

Imagine you are living a big family house because you have no choice and you got to invest some money in Bitcoin and store them in a hardware wallet, then you have a safe beside your bed where every can pass by how will you make sure no one goes near out?
A friend said he had to set up an alarm system in the locked safe so that he can be notified on phone when someone opens his safe where he kept his hardware wallet.
I don't know if this is a good idea but I will like people's opinion about this, if you are living in a crowdy house basically a family house how do you keep your Bitcoin wallet safe?
Some people might believe that a safe can protect its contents. But I think that if those living near you know about the safe, they will assume that your most valuable items are kept inside it. If they decide to steal from you, they will do so, and no alarm system will help. I believe it is safer to use a hiding place, a sophisticated one known only to you, rather than a safe. In my opinion, that is more secure. And always remember: owning a hardware wallet does not give a thief access to your assets. The most important thing is to ensure the security of your seed phrase.

What I think you can do is to split your keys into two, half of it stored in an old phone with a good security features so that no one can easily be able to access it while the remaining half stored in your personal device you move about with so you don't have them all together at a particular place.
If there is a joint family, there may be security issues. For this reason, the user must be more careful. I think that it is never a good idea to keep the seed phrase on two devices, especially one in an old device and one in your own device. At any time, a phone may have a problem or may be lost for some reason, which may later pose a threat to your assets. When it comes to keeping the seed, it should not be kept on a computer, phone or cloud, as this increases the risk. If someone writes it on a paper and makes several copies of it and keeps them in different places, it will be the safest. If someone keeps his assets in a hardware wallet, he must first ensure the security of that seed. He should not give anyone any information that he has Bitcoin, and he should never share the information about the wallet he has with others. In any case, it is best to give priority to the security of Bitcoin first. Keeping seed phrase in cloud is the most risky and dangerous place to do so because if the cloud is compromised or your account is hacked, your assets are all gone because you can never recover it and you would not even have the knowledge when it is going on. It is never advisable to use cloud storage as an option to save sensitive information such as key's. Never make the mistake of doing so not even as advise to anyone else because you would held responsible for whatever happens to their assets based on your advice to them.

Storing seed phrase on cloud storage is likely to be accessed by a third party if they are able to hack the account or get access to the storage through different means. This may look very impossible for someone that have not really heard of cases where Bitcoin investors lost their money due to hack on their wallet through WiFi or phone charger. There are other safe way to keep a wallet seed phrase through writing on a metal plates to make it resistance to water or light fire. This is wey better than cloud storage.

Look, if you don't trust your family members, there's no need to tell them that you've invested in Bitcoin. You should invest in Bitcoin as secretly as possible, if your wife seems unfaithful to you, you can hide your Bitcoin investment from her too. There are various strategies that you can follow to only let your trusted people know, but you must keep your wallet and seed secret, it can only be shared with trusted people, and you should not share it with anyone else.
See if there is someone you trust in your family, you need to inform them about this Bitcoin holding in your absence. Because if he dies, then this Bitcoin will be lying in the office, so if he informs about the Bitcoin investment, then his Bitcoin will be recovered later. So if there is a trusted person in the family, you should definitely inform them, since you can inform any person like son, wife about your wallet seed and how it works. It is better to inform them.

I mean if you have a safe then you could assume that it was safe inside unless your talking about a cheap safe where it can be easily open or force open, If you put your hardware wallet inside that as long as you are the one that know the code of it your the only one that can open it right? or im I missing something here? The alarm thing was not going to work long term since I assume your not always at home so anyone could sneak it on that, but as long as your the only one that can open the safe or know the password it doesn't matter.
I personally just keep my seed phrase on a notebook, then I keep it on a dry box that has a lock on it, I mean it wasn't that safe hundred percent but it was good enough at home unless someone breaks out and breaks things, it wouldn't be an easy thing to do. Probably going to make a lot of noise

In this situation being unassuming may be the best option. A hardware wallet in a safe is too conspicuous, attracting lots of attention and giving the impression that you hold a lot of bitcoin. You can keep a wallet software on your phone or desktop without anyone you live with having an idea. Also do not talk about bitcoin or investments.
If you must use a hardware wallet you can keep it in a bank vault for a charge.
You should be more careful with your backups as they grant direct access without the need for a password. You should store where they are written down outside that house if you have the means to and have an additional passphrase that is not written down with the recovery phrase. This helps for security and plausible deniability.
Keeping a your hardware Wallet in your safe box could be risky despite the kind of security measures you want to take, and supposing you are not around, and someone decides to tamper with it, even though there is an alarm to to inform you, your wallet could be made away before your arrival, so instead your wallet should be stored where anyone won't be aware of it as you also ensure your security phrase is intact. Keeping your investment secret is also a kind of security measure for some persons or Bitcoin investors have been physically bullied just because they exposed themselves by telling other people about their Bitcoin investment. There are many areas that one can keep his Wallet safe, but the main point is that where ever you might want to keep it, let it not be exposed to people around you.

Having a safe in an open environment like that is not advisable and I'm sure your friend have probably warned his family not to go close to that safe and thereby drawing attention to himself and making everyone think that he has someone valuable in there. Setting an alarm on the safe is a good idea but not for something that is serious like this because what if he travels out of town then that alarm is totally useless as he may not come it back on time to meet that safe intact. It's a family house and I believe he should be safe but he should draw less attention to himself.

In this kind of scenario where someone have to store a very important asset like a Bitcoin in a hardware, it will be better to hide such important things in an unexpected place not an open place. Even if such assets should be stored in a safe, the safe shouldn't be in a place where many people can see it like bedside the bed as you said, but rather should be saved in a hidden place like under the bed of even in a ceiling. If my Bitcoin is being saved in a hardware wallet and am to safe it in a crowded house, I will dig a mini safe on the floor of my room and hide the safe inside.

If you are very worried about the security of your wallet here, then in that case I would say divide your seed phrase into two parts and keep the two parts in different places so that if someone gets one of them, they will not be able to access the wallet with it. And in this case, you can also keep the digital copy on two different drives. And of course, do not share the Pin with anyone. Keeping Bitcoin safe is not very difficult if you think about it logically. If I were in such a situation, I would do the same.

I don't think that OP will have his peace of mind living in such place, because I have been in such situation before, I can't even take my bath with peace unless I wake up and hour before everybody else.
When I come back home two or more things of mine are always shifted, don't fool yourself thinking that people won't look for what's not lost in such home, even a little brother of mine goes through my things many times.
We got into a fight and he still won't stop, you need your privacy OP, I don't know how old you are but start working towards it, having even a rest of mind when you are away will be hard.

In such a situation, you can buy a locker and keep all your things in that locker. Because the financial situation of many is very bad and it will require a lot of money to create privacy for them separately, so if a person can buy a locker with a small amount of money, then he can easily save their Seed Phrases. But yes, if your family is a threat to you or is dangerous for you, then you definitely need to take some other measures. Because there are some families who do not have a good relationship with each other and someone in the family can be a risk to your holdings, in this case, it will be the best decision for that person to take another approach.

What kind of story is this or it's another discussion that never happened. If I live alone, I will not keep my hardware wallet beside my bed space not to talk about the danger of leaving in a family house. I can only imagine what will be running through the siblings head when they find out that their bro have thousands of dollars in Bitcoin and they are at home suffering, I'm sure the ending of this story will not end well if indeed it's true like you said. A friend said he had to set up an alarm system in the locked safe so that he can be notified on phone when someone opens his safe where he kept his hardware wallet.
I don't know if this is a good idea but I will like people's opinion about this, if you are living in a crowdy house basically a family house how do you keep your Bitcoin wallet safe?
What kind of safe is that? I have seen shops where people keep money and when the thieves visits the shop, they don't open the safe in the shop, they carry the safe along to their location where they dismantle everything and take away the valuable. Your friend didn't even consider what will happen if the complete box is taken away, what if your family friends visited and they know about the sage and tell outsiders. It's better he don't have a hardware than this dangerous set up.

Many topics have already been created about where to store a hardware wallet or a seed phrase, and, to be honest, there is no universal method, because all of them depend on: where the keeper of these bitcoins lives, in which country, what kind of family they have, and what kind of friends surround them? Because all countries are very different; for example, we often hear that in countries like Thailand, people are very prone to robbing Bitcoin owners based on tips, and there was also a recent case of an attack on a Bitcoin miner’s family in Brazil. Therefore, in each country, the rules will be different, because, for example, you’d have to agree that it would be silly to compare the two examples above with some country like Switzerland, where nothing bad ever happens. But I definitely know that you can only trust yourself.

The main issue is not about do we keep the hardware wallet safe from our family, but it should be about how do we keep the pin/password of the hardware wallet or seed phrase safe. As long as you can save your seed phrase well, you do not have to be worrying too much about where do you keep the hardware wallet because someone wont be able to do anything to your bitcoin if others cant access the hardware wallet. Of course keeping the hardware wallet safe from others is also an additional security step so better to have secure place for both hardware wallet and its pin/password/seed phrase or do not even tell your families that you are investing in bitcoin.
