Under-stairs storage made for everyday use

The space under a staircase can store far more when every section has a clear purpose. We design around the stair geometry, circulation and the things you actually need close to hand.

Example design for made-to-measure cupboards and drawers fitted beneath a staircase — Design example — layout and finishes tailored to your home.

How the space comes together

Storage built around your staircase

We start with a site survey and plan what needs to fit, how each section opens and where the stair and hallway need clearance. This exploded design concept shows one possible mix of drawers and a tall cupboard. The layout, materials and finish are specified for the actual space.

Illustrative exploded view of fitted under-stairs storage, with numbered callouts for the sloped carcass, cupboard door, scribed end panel and drawers on runners — Illustrative Sixes design concept, not a photograph of completed work. Components and finishes vary by project.

Made to measure

A useful space first. A beautiful finish throughout.

Choose access before appearance

Deep pull-outs, hinged doors and a combination of both each suit different items. We start with access, weight and clearance, then make the front elevation feel calm.

A finish that belongs in the hallway

Panel lines, handles and colours can quietly match nearby doors and joinery or create a deliberate feature.

Questions about under-stairs storage

Are pull-out drawers suitable for heavy items?

They can be, provided the hardware and construction are specified for the expected load.
