The space under the stairs is often overlooked, yet this part of the home offers a surprising number of possibilities. From a practical storage cupboard to a cosy workspace or play area: with the right design, you can turn the space under the stairs into a valuable addition to your home.
A stair cupboard is the classic way to make use of the space under the stairs. Think of drawers, shelves or a bespoke solution for shoes, coats or cleaning supplies. With an open staircase, you can use open cupboards or bookshelves, which not only makes it practical but also adds a decorative touch.
For families with children, the space under the stairs is ideal for transforming into a cosy play area. With cushions, lighting and a bit of creativity, you can create a cosy little nook that fits perfectly with your lifestyle.
Working from home? Why not make clever use of the space under the stairs as a compact workspace? An open staircase means you can make the most of natural light. Don’t need a desk? Simply turn the space into a cosy dog bed for your four-legged friend.
For those who live in a small space but think big: the space under the stairs can even be used as a bike storage area. Practical, space-saving and surprisingly original.
Would you like the space under your stairs to be not only practical, but also a real eye-catcher? At Upstairs, we ensure that your staircase and under-stair cupboard blend seamlessly with the rest of your interior. Consider using fronts made from the same material as the stair treads, or opt for a contrasting colour to create a playful effect. With our high-quality finish, you can turn your staircase and the space beneath it into a real showstopper.
