Breathe Life Under Your Staircase and Maximise Every Corner
Let’s face it, modern homes and properties seem to be getting smaller and more expensive. We need all the help we can get in order to maximise storage and space around the house. Don’t waste the precious space under your staircase – instead, be inspired by some of our top ideas to creating a fabulous and functional area in this tricky nook in your home!
We love the idea of creating a gorgeous reading nook under the stairs. Add a stylish chair or pouffe, with a vintage ladder or floating shelve to house all of your favourite reads. And what reading nook would be complete without a stunning lamp for added lighting. With a few key furniture items, you can create a cosy, stylish and functional reading area that can quickly become your favourite spot in the house! What about a home office under the staircase? All you need is a quality wooden desk that fits under the stairs – add all your office equipment with a quality light to maximise function in this space – and voila, you’ll be set with a gorgeous study or home office in no time at all! Stair-stepped shelving is a great way to maximise space in this area of your home. Have a special cabinet custom-made to fit the space – in the designer look of your choice – and you’ll have the ongoing benefit of extra storage that is out of the way yet easily accessible! If in doubt, add your favourite armchair, a small side table and some gorgeous artwork on the walls under your staircase, and create the ideal hideaway!
