Under the stairs
under the stairs:
In two-storey homes, areas under the stairs can also be tapped for storage
space. If the area under the stairs is large, a full closet (with a
door) can be added; if it is a small space, a closed cupboard can be
built. Alternatively, open shelves can be added under stairs to become
a design element in the room. And don't limit yourself to adding horizontal
shelves - since the space under the stairs already features a sloped
side, why not add diamond or triangle-shaped partitions and create a
wine-rack!
