Home Design Ideas: Making the Optimum Use of Staircases

Home Design Ideas

There are unlimited home design ideas to make optimum use of staircases. Though the primary reason of the staircase is to take the residents to the upper level, it also creates a space to store things underneath. With some creative home design ideas, your staircase can work as a great storage space or a display area to put up interesting artwork.

Innovative Home Design Ideas for Staircases

A classic wooden staircase with space beneath can be used a storage space or a display area with a long row of glass cabinet displaying crockery, if the staircase is situated near the kitchen. If the staircase is in the living room, then it can be used to display interesting accessories, flower vases and memorabilia. If there is no space to put a glass cabinet then a large pull out draw would work well to store anything related to the space where the stairs are situated.

Staircases that are located in the living room have a better scope of being used to impress your guests. If you are looking for a space to hang those vintage art or impressionistic paintings then you won’t find a better space than the staircase. If there is space underneath the stairs then a lot of things can be done there. Some make use of this area to create a display nook with a mini waterfall while some create a useful book corner with open shelves and comfortable seat to read on.

Some creative souls use the space underneath the staircase to set up their home office. Even a little space can be used optimally with a small desk, computer and a comfortable chair. Some even design cabinets to store their files and folders.

Where space is sacred, optimum use of any area would be excused. If there is no utility room to do laundry, then set up the washing machine underneath the staircase and use the rest of the space to design cabinets to store laundry baskets and supplies.

No room to create a home bar? What’s that space under the stairs for? Put up a couple of shelves, and cabinet against the wall to store glasses and a couple of bar stools. Your weekend bar is ready!

Believe it or not, if the space under the stairs is large enough, you could even set up a home theatre complete with reclining couches to watch that latest blockbuster. Who needs a separate space for home theatre anyway especially when you have the stairs?

Stairs can be more innovatively especially if your house has an open floor plan. Some house plans use the space underneath to build cabinets and to store crockery for the kitchen.

If the stairs is situated in the bedroom, then the bed can also be positioned underneath it to save space. Even Harry Potter had a room under the stairs by the way!
