Clever storage space under the stairs

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.

Play corner or chill area

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.

A workplace or doghouse under the stairs

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.

Original idea: bicycle parking

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.
