Cupboard understairs ideas

Evening folks
I have a cupboard under our stairs 4.5 feet deep 2.5 feet wide. Now I'm wondering what can I use this for? We have a boot room so coats & shoes are taken care of any thoughts on something imaginative please.

Hello Ricky,

My first choice, if you're looking for something imaginative, would be a wine storage section. Obviously, they have to like wine and it would need to be built!

Alternatively, there's an article here on Houzz which has some great ideas which may also give you some inspiration.

I hope it helps.

Thanks, Gina

Hi Ricky,

I love Ginas idea of a wine rack!

Other options (depending on what you hobbies needs/ are) could be a library wall, great if you have a house full of books like me

Or could be a used as a mini office space or study area for the kids with a pull out desk? If you could move the seat into the room at the end of the day you could keep the doors and close it off in the evening.

Or maybe a pantry - can be a great way to utilise space and the more room in the kitchen

Best of luck

Louise

Hi Jill. The area under the stairs is really quite large so I would maybe think about using it as a functional space. you could have a large cupboard and bookshelves, or built in reading area, or use this space for your tv, a desk and display items as examples. Or if you don't want the expense of bespoke storage maybe a sideboard and chair in the corner? In terms of decor, what kind of styles do you like as there's not much in your Ideabook?

Hi, yes I had to get National grid to move the gas meter, it was around £700, it was moved into the hallway, near the front door so not too far. If moved further it costs more but National grid were helpful and you can get an online quote or ring them. They send someone out to look at where it will go etc. I had the fuse box moved (not the electric meter) and that was £500. Plumbing was around £800. Unfortunately the Plumber found woodworm under the floorboards so I ended up having Rentokil which was another £500 I hadn't expected! It was definitely worth all the expense + work, I do wonder how we managed without it! Hope the info helps.

Honestly.....I love it, did when I seen it being stenciled! As said it you, unique is an understatement as is the statement, knock on the door ‘ can you just confirm what number this is?’ Lol You can be a sheep or you can be the little black one in the car advert! Lol no prizes for which one you are! Lol

Hi Sarah, If you are open to it, I suggest painting the doors a soft pink. As you say the worktop and flooring doesn't really need changing and whilst you can re-paint the doors a fresh lick of paint it hasn't really answered your dilemma. If you want to add a bit of warmth, soften the black and cover up marks I'd look into a soft pink something like Calamine or Pink Ground both Farrow & Ball would look lovely. Adding pink will give it a modern edge and I think would work really well against all the black. Sorry this was the best image I could find with black worktops and pink units: I would also change the colour of the walls to a softer creamy pink just so it feels more balanced.
