How To Make Use Of Space Under Your Stairs
By Greg Vanden Berge
There are plenty of things that you can do with the space under your
stairs. How to make use of that space under your stairs however, could
present us with a challenging opportunity. Let's see if we can help you,
by providing you with a few simple remodeling ideas
If you have an open space underneath your stairway, you could always
build some shelves or build some shelves with some doors and drawers.
You could build some simple or elaborate shelves for books or for
displaying some of your precious belongings.
You could always build an entertainment center, if the location of the
stairway, provides you with that opportunity. Don't build an
entertainment center under your stairs, if it's not located in an easily
accessible area.
If the stair case is wide enough, you can always transform this spot
into a study area. You could build a nice desk with some shelves and
even a few drawers. This could provide you with an excellent way to keep
track of your children, while they're doing their homework.
What about placing a sofa or a few chairs under your stairs to provide
you with a cozy retreat. You can always build a wooden bench and then
throw a couple of cushions, with some pillows on top of it.
Last but not least, you could always frame this area in, building a wall
with a door and use it as a closet. There are plenty of things you can
do with the area under your stairs, if you just start thinking outside
the box.
I've even seen homeowners put a small bathroom in this area. Like I
said, you just need to get creative.
