When renovating your home, there are some spaces you might skip over, not realising their hidden potential. At the top of that list are these genius under-stairs storage ideas that will give you the gift of space.
Living in a double-storey apartment with a loft, townhouse or house means that you have a staircase for access to the upper level. In many apartments and homes, these staircases are located within the living or dining space. Here are some ideas for making good use of space beneath a staircase for storage or decorative display.
1. Kitchen pantry
Transform your staircase space into a quaint pantry, ideal for storing all your dry goods, baking ingredients, and more behind a sliding barn door, tuck-in drawer.
2. Home office
Using the space under a staircase to create a cosy office space is a practical way to set up a small home office that won’t take up valuable floor space. And you can easily install a small desk and shelving. When designing the space for use as a home office, match furniture and décor to blend with the style of the surrounding room.
3. Store your books in a mini library
Install a few shelves or cabinets, fill them with your favourite novels, and turn that awkward space under the stairs into a gorgeous small home library. This area provides a perfect book storage solution without having to add extra furniture to other rooms. You can also store magazines, photo albums, and board games here.
4. Install sliding stair drawers for hidden storage
Sliding drawers are an easy and compact way to maximise staircase storage space that would otherwise go to waste. They also provide a way to hide unsightly items, making them great for smaller homes that may not have enough closet space.
5. Make it a hangout zone
Why not transform this extra space into something truly useful and comfortable? This is the ideal spot to curl up in with a good book or enjoy your coffee in the mornings.
