Your stairs are undoubtedly one of the hidden charms of your home. Why? This is because with just a little imagination you can convert your stairs into a room, closet, storage space and display area, among others. The versatility of your stairs is something that should be taken advantage of and to do this, here are a few unique ways to make the most out of your stairs:
Storage
Toy Storage Drawers
It is not uncommon to see the interior stairs converted into a storage space. The usual set-up is the installation of wheeled shelves or pull-out drawers to help store away some items like shoes, umbrellas and other things that are not always used. This is a great idea for those who have very limited space. Some even have found a way to convert the stair tread into a large drawer. Cool, right?
Closet
One of the most common uses for that space under the stairs is as a broom closet. Since it is relatively small and usually has an odd angle, most opt to use it as a storage for brooms, rags, vacuum cleaners, and the like. Aside from keeping these eyesores away from sight, you are also provided with an easy access to those things hidden beneath them. Now you have no excuse not to clean the staircase when you have a broom closet lying inside it!
Display area
Basically it just involves the putting in of shelves and some other minor adjustments and possibly some lighting effects to give you a place where to show off your treasures. You can fill the side of the treads with figurines, your toy collectibles, an art portfolio or a mini photo gallery for this. Your guests will surely love this quirky idea.
If you don't want little stuff placed on it, you can use the extra space to hang a nice painting, a picture, or even a certificate. Again, a little tweaking with the lighting will give it a focal point feel.
These are just but a few of the unique ways to make the most out of your stairs. A little imagination coupled with lots of dedication will surely give you more options on what to do with the space under your staircase. What is important is that you make a detailed and well organized plan since you're going to extend the "responsibilities" of this staircase. Also, don't forget to clean it and maintain its strength now that you have a bigger utility of it.
