Under stairs dilemma
Comments (2)Congrats on the new kitchen! It looks great (as much as I can see of it) and I love the wood (oak?) you've chosen and those gorgeous doors. That's a good space for a pantry, as skr01606 suggested. You can go two ways, either for some classic shelves or for pull-out drawers (both would need to be custom made, unless you go for that system of boards on adjustable brackets (like in 2nd pic). Now, if you choose shelves, you could first leave enough space for the dyson and build shelves around it. To use both sides, one could have 'normal' (about 20cm) wide shelves, the other side narrow, spice rack type. If it was my space though, assuming you have enough storage in the kitchen (that was supposed to be a loo, right?) I'd have a 'wine cellar' in there. Sort of like the last photo, but smaller :)) Hope this helps, good luck! PS: You can image google 'under stairs pantry' for more ideas....See MoreUnder stairs design ideas please
Comments (9)I always think that a hall with a seating area is just bliss for sitting down while pulling on your boots or flicking through a magazine or two! I would shelve the entire area that is before the post and have a built in seat with more storage above and below it to make life even more clutter free. Good luck hope it works out for you....See MoreStairCase / Underfloor Heating dilemma

Comments (7)Katherine Hello The diagonal stringer supports the stair itself and it looks like there may be a small timber edge trimming beam at the top running along the edge. I don't think the posts are structural but do ask a structural engineer to confirm. The other thing you can check is which way the joists run in the floor at the top of the stair. In an old house the boards run in the opposite direction to the supporting timber joists, so if you lift the carpet you can tell which way the joists run. If the joists run parallel to the stair the load is not being taken by the stair opening in the floor. If they run perpendicular they may be bearing on the trimming beam and the posts could be structural, even though they don't look it. Ask a skilled builder or and engineer to take a look....See MoreCatherine Hounslow
