Every square inch of space counts, especially if your home is on the small side. So if you\u2019ve got some space to spare under your main staircase, put it to work! With a bit of creativity, that underutilized area can be transformed into something both beautiful and functional. As your trusted local home remodeling contractor<\/a>, we\u2019ve got a few favorite ideas for that often-forgotten space.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Reading Nook<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cozy reading nooks are some of our favorite things to build underneath staircases. They don\u2019t just provide a home for extra books and knick knacks you may have scattered around the house; they give them pride of place. Add shelving, adjustable lighting, a comfortable seat and even a privacy curtain, and you\u2019ve got the perfect retreat for anyone in need of a break.

2. Storage Space<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many of our interior remodeling<\/a> projects feature clever storage under the stairs. But you don\u2019t have to limit yourself to a basic coat closet! We have skilled carpenters who can custom-make a storage system that makes sense for your<\/em> space\u2014you can add built-in shelves, pull-out shoe cabinets, toy cubbies … the sky\u2019s the limit.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Compact Office<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Need a dedicated space to work? If your stairs aren\u2019t next to a busy room or tight hallway, you\u2019ve got a potential home office right there! Don\u2019t let the tiny footprint discourage you: with some well-designed built-ins, a comfortable chair and good lighting, you can have an organized workspace that helps you stay productive and focused.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Display Corner<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of us have interesting collections and conversation pieces but no place to put them. Under the stairs can be the perfect place for these items, where they can be safely out of the way of foot traffic but still visible. Lighted shelves are a great way to display your collections and turn them into eye-catching d\u00e9cor. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Laundry Space<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have a laundry room? Why not turn the space under your stairs into a laundry closet? Having a dedicated space for laundry will improve your quality of life and increase the value of your home too. Just make sure you work with a professional who can ensure a correct fit and install everything properly and to code.
