Do you have that unused dead space under your stairs? It could either be an open or enclosed hallow that you are not sure what to do with.
Instead of leaving that spot an unused footprint in your home, why don't you try to consider turning it into these beautiful and functional home design ideas and make use of that precious space? Apartment Therapy has these cool suggestions worth trying:
Home Office
Dedicating an entire room for a home office is becoming less popular in home design these days; with computers getting smaller and with fewer peripherals required, it just makes sense. Instead, people are beginning to go for unconventional ideas like carving out small office nooks in different corners of a home, of course, including that one under the stairs.
Storage
There is a ton of storage opportunities for that space under the stairs, regardless if it's open or concealed. You can install shelves for your collection of books, cabinets to store knick knacks, or even hooks to hang your coats and scarves.
Play space
If you have kids and don't have a separate play room, a good home design tip is to turn that spot under the stairs as a clubhouse or hideaway for your little ones. They will love this (it's just like Harry Potter) plus you would know where to find them next time!
Mudroom
A mudroom is that room near the entrance where you house your coats and shoes and sometimes even a bench for putting your shoes on. Not every house has this dedicated room, so one home design trick you can do is by using that space under the stairs.
Bathroom
While the space is often irregular and not big enough, it is still just about right for adding a half bath.
Pantry
Is your existing pantry a mess because there is just not enough space for all those cans and boxes? A home design trick you can do is by turning that extra spot under the stairs into your extra pantry.
Sitting nook
Want to have that intimate seating area to read a book outside your bedroom? Under the stairs sounds like a perfect location.
Music "studio"
Most people dread the idea of getting a musical instrument because of the space it would take, like a piano. But that space under your stairs could be the solution for that home design space dilemma.
