Under Stairs Storage

Under stairs storage ideas to transform your space

The space under your stairs may be small, but there are so many storage designs
you can choose from. Whether you’re storing coats, shoes, or the kids’ toys and games,
how you use your space should determine your design. Take a look at some of our
favourite under stairs storage ideas below. 

Stay organised with under stairs shelving

If the space under your stairs is quite narrow, shelving is a great option because it
allows you to make the most of what space you do have. What’s more, it allows you
to display everything clearly and neatly, so you know exactly where everything is. 
You can achieve under stairs shelving with shelving towers, floating shelves or a mix
of both. For an even neater look, you can also add drawers.

Create more functionality with home office furniture

Under your stairs can actually be a great place for a home office as it’s a cornered off
space that’s just enough room for a desk. If you have enough room surrounding it
too, you could create a corner home office with shelving and a desk.

Use hanger rails and shoe racks for simple under stairs storage

Adding wardrobe components to your under stair storage can be a quick and
affordable way to stay organised. Hanger rails and shoe racks keep your things neat
and tidy, so they’re easy to grab while you’re on your way out the door.

Style your under stairs cupboard with sliding doors

Adding sliding doors to your under stairs cupboard can create a sleek and stylish
look, hiding all your belongings neatly within. If the height of your cupboard is more
than 1100mm, you could choose sliding doors from Spaceslide, fixed to the angular
roof with wall liners. 

How to build under stairs storage 

To build under stairs storage, you first need to consider which storage system you’d
prefer. Are you opting for shelves and drawers? Hanging rails or shoe racks? Or how
about fitted doors? Once you’ve decided, you’ll need to measure your space, so that
you can choose the right fitting components. 

Choosing a shelving tower is very straightforward because you don’t need to think
too much about the design - it’s just a case of following the flatpack instructions. If
you’re fitting hanging rails or floating shelves, you’ll need to drill these into the wall.
Doors will also need thorough measuring and fitting.

If you’re unsure about measurements and components, you can get free expert
advice from Spaceslide. For building and fitting, you can also opt for our professional
installation service. 

How much does it cost to build storage under the stairs?

The cost of under stairs storage depends on the design you choose. If you simply
want hanger bars and shoe racks, these can cost from as little as £32 for both.
Storage units on the other hand, provide you with flawless organisation and can cost
between £230 and £650. 

To get a clearer picture of how much your under stair storage will cost, you can get in
