Do you feel that space is shrinking around the house ever since the family got bigger? You may be onto something! As the family grows, there are more things to store and organize in the house. Not to mention that the kids are not executors of proper storage and organization. So how do you keep things under control? Well, get organized and create more storage space. But where? Don’t worry, there’s always the space under the stairs. You’ll be impressed with just how many ways storage under stairs can be utilized. We’re just going to discuss several great small space storage ideas that take complete advantage of that wasted space. So let’s see what we can do.

Impressive Ideas For Storage Under Stairs

Storage Under Stairs- Drawers

The space from under the stairs can be used up to 100% if you think drawers. Regardless of the fact that you make them big and wide, or you want them small and numerous, these drawers can look fantastic. To make sure they blend in with the rest of the design, you should use the same paint color and style for their faces.

Storage Under Stairs- Bookshelves

If you don’t like the drawer style, you can always create a bookcase. With small, open shelves and a wide range of great books, people leaving or entering your home will be mesmerized by the idea.

Storage Under Stairs- Powder Room or Vanity Area

We all know that, once the kids come, there’s no more space for your stuff. So why not create the space you need under the stairs? You will be able to afford the luxury of an intimate, gorgeous space where you can breathe and gather your thoughts. For instance, if you mount two elegant doors and add a stylish light, you can create an impressive powder room. Here you’ll store all your cosmetics and other beauty products without worrying they will get knocked off the shelf by the kids.

Storage Under Stairs- Pantry

Or if your stairs are near your kitchen, you can always create a pantry under the stairs. With several cleverly-arranged shelves, you can create space for wines, jars and cans for the winter, and other delicious foods you need to store.

Storage Under Stairs- Home For Bikes

Under the stairs can be a great space to store the children’s bikes when they are not in use. With a proper mounting rack, you can store several bikes under the stairs and you’ll free a lot of space in the hallway where everyone would stumble upon them.

Wine Storage

If you’re a wine lover and you have a collection you’re proud about, you shouldn’t keep it hidden in the basement. The staircase can be the perfect place to create an elegant wine rack that everyone can see as they enter the house.

Kids Space- Storage or Play

A storage place for all the kids’ shoes, clothes, backpacks and everything else they like to throw around when they get home. If they have this place close to the entrance, they’ll learn to be more organized. Not to mention, you’ll work less to keep the house clean.

Kitchen Tool Storage

If the staircase is right in the kitchen, you can use the space from underneath it for kitchen tools. You just need to implement a system of shelves and you’re done. This way you enlarge the kitchen space and create an elegant area for kitchen supplies and tools.

Mini Office Storage

You can even fit a mini home office under the stairs complete with desk, drawers, and shelves. Pretty great way to use the space, huh?
