Are you ready to unlock the hidden potential of those underused nooks in your home? Discover the transformative power of under stair storage ideas with Homemaker The Valley. Our diverse range of retailers offers an array of stylish and functional products that can turn that underused under stair area into a wonderfully practical and visually appealing space. Whether it’s a mud room for your kids’ school bags and footy boots you’re after, or a hidden reading nook, we’ve got just the thing to meet your needs and elevate your home’s aesthetics.
1. Built-In Book Shelves
Use bookcases or storage units from stores like Freedom and build in around them. These units are perfect for storing books, cookbooks and even decorative items in an aesthetic and organised manner.
2. Cosy Reading Nook
If you’ve got the space, you may be able to create a usable reading nook. Add in pull-out storage systems and bookcases that can be installed under the stairs. Add some soft furnishings like floor cushions or a comfy chair like this leather wing chair from Domayne for comfort, and have some downlights installed to illuminate books and décor, or add a stylish table lamp from Freedom.
3. Mudroom With Built-In Seating With Storage
Transform the under-stair area into a practical mudroom. Head to Eureka Furniture, Early Settler or Provincial Home Living for hooks and racks for coats and hats and hallway cabinets, add a bench for seating and shoe storage underneath, and consider Howards Storage World and TK Maxx for durable baskets or bins for stowing away items like umbrellas, floaties and sports gear. This setup not only keeps your entranceway clutter-free but also makes the most of the often-underutilised space beneath the stairs, providing a neat and tidy area to greet you as soon as you step through the door.
4. Wine Storage
For wine enthusiasts, elevate your under-stair space into a sophisticated wine cellar with elegant wine storage solutions from Kitchen Warehouse and Howards Storage World. Choose from their selection of wine racks that can be customised and affixed to your wall in various layouts. Complement these storage options with stylish bar cabinets like the Havasa bar cabinet from James Lane, or the Dominique Drinks Trolley in gold from Early Settler which can serve not only as functional storage but also add a decorative touch.
5. WFH Corner
If your space is big enough, you may be able to transform your under stair area into a compact home office. Harvey Norman offers a range of small desks and office storage units that fit neatly into this space, making it an ideal spot for a quiet work area.
6. Children’s Play Area
Turn the under stair area into a delightful play nook for kids with clever use of space and the right accessories. Start with child-friendly furniture from Adairs like a kids couch or floor cushions to create a comfortable and inviting environment. Add educational toys and playful decorations from TK Maxx and Baby Bunting to stimulate creativity and learning. Utilise storage options from Howards Storage World to keep the area tidy and organised, and consider finishing the space with some string lights and a canopy for that magic touch.
7. Pet Sanctuary
Create a cosy retreat for your pets under the stairs. TK Maxx is your go-to for chic pet beds, innovative pet food storage and unique accessories and toys to enhance your pet’s new haven. This dedicated spot not only gives your pets a sense of security but also helps keep pet supplies out of your main living areas, maintaining a clean and orderly home.
8. Seasonal Storage Closet
Utilise the under-stairs area for seasonal items like Christmas decorations or bulky winter clothing. Howards Storage World offers a variety of closet systems and storage containers that can keep your seasonal goods well-organised and out of sight.
