You don’t need to worry about a lock if your store you bike in your house or flat, since it will be behind a locked door already – which is good enough for insurance policies. You do need to consider that your bike might drip oil or dirty water, tear wallpaper, or simply get in the way.
If you have an understanding partner and a spare room, your bike(s) could go there. Maybe that could be your workshop too! It’s easiest if this room is on the ground floor and close to the front or back door, but a cellar is a good alternative.
More likely your bike will have to share space in another room. If it leans against the wall, it could fall over. Plus, the handlebar will be at the right height to jab midriffs and the pedals to bark shins. Get it up and out of the way. You could use wall hooks or a ceiling hoist, as in a garage.
If you don’t fancy that kind of industrial look, or you’re not allowed to drill holes due to the terms of your rent, there’s a couple of options. One is a telescoping pole with bike supports on it. This wedges between ceiling and floor and will hold one bike high up, two bikes on above the other, or (if it’s far enough from a wall) four bikes.
If space is really tight, or if it’s difficult or forbidden to bring a conventional bike through the front door – and perhaps up stairs – there is one final option: a folding bike.
