Looking for some inspiring under stairs storage ideas? Of course you are, because that wedge shaped space under the stairs is like a no man's land of mismatched shoes, the odd plastic box and an ever expanding collection of umbrellas.

Time to make the most of that lost space with our comprehensive guide to under stair storage ideas. From practical, affordable shelving options to incredibly extra wine rooms, you'll never just chuck stuff under the stairs again.


Even modest sized homes have decent under stair storage space. Make the most of yours by putting in a central door to create a spacious cupboard for large items (or lots of small ones); a door beneath the bottom steps for seldom used items; and use leftover space for a shelved-out niche, like the one below.




A downstairs cloakroom is a great under stair storage ideas, as it is a must-have for many potential house buyers, and a valuable asset in a family home. If you're tight on space, it makes most sense to put the loo beneath the sloping ceiling (like the one below), and to fit a sliding door rather than one that opens out into an already squeezed hallway.
