What to put in the space under the stairs

The space under the stairs is a triangle: tall at one end and almost nothing at the other. The way to use it is to split it into sections and find a piece for each.

How to measure it

1. Measure the depth of the space, from the wall to the edge of the stairs.
2. Mark 40–60 cm sections on the floor along the space.
3. At each mark, measure the height to the stairs. That is the maximum height of furniture in that section.

The tall part

Where there is more than 180 cm, a wardrobe or tall shelving fits. For coats and the vacuum cleaner, a 40–60 cm wide wardrobe.

• Wardrobes 50 cm wide 27 models
• Wardrobes 60 cm wide 44 models
• Bookcases and shelving units 60 cm wide 116 models

The middle and low part

Between 80 and 120 cm, chests of drawers and shoe cabinets; below 80 cm, boxes on castors or a storage bench. Sort by “Closest fit” to see what fills each section.

• Chests of drawers 80 cm high 200 models
• Chests of drawers 100 cm high 67 models
• Shoe cabinets 80 cm high 13 models
• Shoe cabinets 100 cm high 19 models
• Benches by size 334 models
