Clever storage

The space under the stairs is an ideal space to create cabinets and shelves for storing clothes, shoes, books, documents or other necessary items for which it is sometimes difficult to find a suitable location. Use this space as a mini pantry or food storage space. You can install shelves for canned goods, jars and other groceries, or a mini bar with bottles of wine. The empty space under the stairs is also a great place to store toys. Design a system of shelves and drawers to organize them in an easy way.

Additional room

If the space under the stairs is large enough for you to stay there comfortably, it's worth arranging a small room with a specific purpose there. A little home office, for example, is a great way to use this space. Create a comfortable place to work by putting an ergonomic desk, capacious bookcases and install good lighting. You can also, turn this space into a relaxation corner. Fill this space with comfortable cushions. You can add a low table and a lamp to create a cozy place to relax. Also think about creating a small library. You will need just some bookshelves and comfortable armchairs or cushions.

If, on the other hand, you love sports, convert the space under the stairs into storage for bicycles, skis, surfboards, roller blades, scooters, balls and other sports equipment.
