    • the boiler
    • two pull out storage racks above
    • the integrated fridge freezer
    • a micro wave
    • seven other pull out storage drawers
    • a room heater
    • snd topped it all off with a wine rack!

      I think the Upstate New York one is the most visually appealing, but they're all pretty clever under stair storage ideas!

      The Manhattan staircase would be more useful to hide things away, but I'm with Louise in that I just love the Upstate New York bookcase.

      Though I have voted for the Manhattan microloft, a smart under stair solution is dependent on what the end user requires the storage space for. E.g., if the Client needed space to store their extensive books collection (a library), I would have voted for the Upstate New York photo. Again, everything is dependent on the use and requirement.

      Our vote went to the Quant Building but it was a difficult choice as they are all great ways to have storage built in. Our favourite one so far though is not on this poll but can be found here: https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/show-us-your-storage-ideas-dsvw-vd~3321627 as we love the under stairs storage.

      Manhattan is what I would personally go for because it's concealed and keep things dust free. However it depends on the location of the stairs in the house and also how many people/children live.

      Having worked trying to design the best possible use of space under a staircase i think that the Quant building is the most elegant solution.

      Great ideas. It's amazing how much space you can save by using the space under the stairs. Also, interestingly enough, we covered the same subject 2 weeks ago on our website :). Here's an amazing playground created by one of our previous customers:

      Really like the available space on the Manhattan Micro-loft. When they're all closed it probably looks very clean aswell.

      Undestairs storage is a great solution for an often unused corner of the house
