Could anyone suggest a stylish way to incorporate a TV and storage for coats/boots/etc under my stairs (stairs need to be completely closed in) I've just fitted new staircase and opened up room to join the kitchen.

Under stairs dilemma
Comments (19)I would always rather invest in stunning furniture than spend money on more permanent changes. In my experience you can make any space look great with the right furniture and decor. Rather than spend money on something structural I would work with the space you have with furniture that works better than the heavy farmhouse style. The nicest furniture in the room is the sideboard so I would build on that. I'd look at something like Gubi Beetle dining chairs to bring in an organic streak. Not cheap but cheaper than building in storage (the next best option) or enlarging the window which won't make much difference - and you can take them with you if you move! You could look at Made.com for a cheaper but complementary table. Then a decent lampshade - perhaps Tom Dixon Etch - a side lamp on the sideboard and lots of plants and pots to empathise the organic, cosy nature of the room. Finish with some pictures in the wall and you have a lovely, cosy, earthy room that feels like being down Alice's rabbit hole rather than under the stairs. Good luck....See MoreCellarette stair storage advice needed
Comments (3)Hi Matt, do you have a budget in mind? I can't quite see what's at the bottom of the steps, but I would be tempted to consider building bespoke storage. Not sure what's on the other side of the room, but option 1 could be splitting the cupboard in half - so you would access the under stairs storage from the other side by creating a new opening under the stairs, then have a full height cupboard but half depth from the current door opening. If that's not feasible, maybe building in some bespoke storage E.g. directly opposite the door, full unit from top to bottom, I would put a clothes rail for coats in the top half of the cabinet (perhaps with a fabric shoe shelf hanging to one side), then some doors in the bottom half for vacuum/buckets/etc. You can hang hooks on walls for mops/ironing boards/etc. If you need to gain a bit more wall space for hooks, perhaps you could have the door opening the other way around, or if that wouldn't work, replace it with a folding door? If that's all outside of budget, then you could use wall hanging storage solutions, or over door solutions as per photo....See MoreMedia tv storage unit
Comments (5)Thank you. My space is a little restricted (under the pitched roof) so thinking to opt for small rectangular unit. I appreciate it's difficult without a photo but currently space under the TV serves as storage so not doing it any favour! Did you manage to run all cables through the cable organiser? Your space looks nice!...See MoreUnder stairs coat/shoes/buggy organisation - please help!
Comments (3)How about something like a tall-ish unit from IKEA to go at the tallest end of space underneath meter box. They sell baskets which will fit on shelves and you can use for shoes, small bags, bits and bobs. Then some coat hooks on the wall - maybe with some lower down/half height on the wall that the kid/s can reach for their coats and then use the very bottom part of understairs for the buggy. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/kallax-shelving-unit-white-00275848/...See More

6 years agoHi there, you could go floor to ceiling with a bespoke cupboard on the room side, with built in cupboards, if the cupboard had removable backs you could access the services. On the stair side there could be an integrated handrail in the panelling? This gives a very contemporary look.
