If you have stairs in the home, then you have probably noticed that there is an empty space underneath them. You could leave the space alone, or you could create an area that is full of imagination. Companies like Alair Homes can help you develop the best design possible so that it benefits the entire family.
Play Space
Sometimes, younger children need a different area to play while in the house. Make the space under the stairs a place where they can have tea parties, read books or spend time talking to each other. They can also use the space as a place to play video games so that they aren’t bothering other family members. Add pillows and blankets so that the space is comfortable for children of all ages. Hollow out the inside of the area, adding a door that leads to a space similar to a playhouse.
Room To Read
If you’re always looking for a quiet area to read a book, then convert the space under the stairs to a reading nook. Add a small bookcase on the bottom so that you always have something at your fingertips. Place cushions and a pillow so that you’re comfortable while laying down or sitting up while reading your favorite novel or magazine.
Bookshelves
Sometimes, you accumulate more books that you can read. The small area under your stairs is an ideal location to add bookshelves. Family members can grab what they want while walking by so that they can read whenever they want. If everyone can see the books that are available instead of keeping them tucked away in a corner, then it might encourage reading by all family members.
Work Space
If you work from home or have children who don’t seem to have a quiet area to do homework, then turn the space under the stairs into an office. Add a desk and shelves for a printer and office supplies. This is a retreat for those who need an environment where they are away from noises so that work and school assignments can be completed without interruption. You can also add a whiteboard so that assignments can be written with a due date.
