Under Stairs Storage London

Under stairs storage makes use of one of the most awkward spaces in the home. We design fitted cupboards, drawers and shelving built to fit the exact shape of your staircase, turning wasted space into practical, made to measure storage that matches the rest of your fitted furniture.

What We Build Under Stairs

Cupboard storage: shelving and hanging space for coats, shoes, cleaning supplies or general household storage, with a door built to follow the slope of the stairs above.
Under stairs wardrobe: for a hallway or bedroom with a staircase running through it, a full wardrobe fitted into the understairs space, with rails and shelving laid out around the sloped ceiling line.
Bookcase: adjustable shelving built into the understairs recess, sized to fit books of different heights and the changing depth of the space as it follows the stairs.
TV unit: a media unit built into the space, with cable management and storage for equipment, sized to the specific dimensions of the recess rather than a standard freestanding unit.
Home office nook: a small desk and shelving built into the space, useful where a spare room isn’t available. See our home office furniture page for more on this.

Why Fitted Works Better Here Than Freestanding Furniture

An understairs recess is rarely a simple rectangle: it slopes with the staircase above, and the usable depth changes as you move along it. Freestanding furniture, built to a standard shape, either doesn’t fit or leaves the awkward parts of the space unused. Because we measure and build to the exact shape, the storage follows the slope and uses the space right down to the lowest point, rather than stopping where a standard cupboard would.
