Got a staircase in your home? Then you probably have already noticed that the space under it could be used for something. I’d offer you to use it for storing things, and this roundup will show you all the best solutions for under stairs and inside stairs storage.
Built-In Storage Units
If you have a large and massive staircase, you may build some storage space inside it. Make doors and use it as a pantry, go for drawers, large or small ones, to use it as a wardrobe, a pantry or anything else, as you will be able to put anything you want here. The key is to make built-in storage units seamless – the doors and drawer panels should be perfectly matching, this way you will get a hidden unit. If you want these storage units to be seen, it’s even easier, just make some open shelves and voila! Such an idea is perfect for making a large built-in bookcase, add a seat, and you will get a whole reading nook!
