Bespoke Under Stairs Storage
An unused void under the stairs is one of the most common pieces of wasted space in a home – and one of the most straightforward to turn into something genuinely useful. We design and build bespoke under stairs storage to fit the exact shape and depth of your particular staircase, rather than fitting a standard unit into an irregular space.
Every project is made to measure in our Dorset workshop, so drawers, cupboards and shelving all run smoothly within the available footprint with no compromises and no gaps where an off-the-shelf unit doesn’t quite fit. Popular choices include pull-out coat and shoe storage for busy hallways, drawer storage for kitchen staircases, and full home-office or desk conversions where space allows.
Oak Under Stairs Storage
For a warmer, more traditional finish, we build under stairs storage entirely in solid oak — from shaker-style cupboard doors to open shelving that shows off the natural grain. Oak storage tends to suit period properties and homes with existing oak flooring, doors or staircases particularly well, since it lets the new storage blend seamlessly with what’s already there rather than standing out as a separate addition. We finish oak storage in either oil (for a natural, low-sheen look that’s easy to spot-refresh) or lacquer (more hard-wearing for high-traffic hallway use). As with our staircases, oak storage can be built to match whichever range and finish you’ve chosen for your staircase renovation, so the whole hallway reads as one cohesive piece of joinery. We do a lot of shaker style projects, but we can offer modern slab designs too or something bespoke to complement your internal doors.
Painted & Modern Options
If you’d prefer a lighter, more contemporary look, we also build under stairs storage in painted finishes – slab-fronted doors for a minimalist feel, or shaker doors for a more classic look with a painted rather than natural finish. Push-to-open fastenings and flush handles are popular for a clean, streamlined result in modern homes and new builds.
