## Under Stairs Storage: What You Need to Know

The space beneath your staircase is one of the most underused areas in any home. Most households leave it as a dark void filled with vacuum cleaners, old shoes and forgotten items — or worse, simply board it up and forget it exists entirely.

Bear Brothers designs under stairs storage that unlocks the full potential of this space. We build bespoke cupboards, pull-out drawer systems, coat storage, shoe racks, wine cellars, home office nooks and utility stations — all precision-fitted to the exact gradient and depth of your staircase.

Every under-stairs project starts with a detailed survey. We measure the stair gradient, the available depth at every point, the floor level and any obstructions — then design a solution that maximises capacity while keeping everything accessible.

The finished result looks like part of your home's original architecture. Doors match your existing joinery, internal layouts are planned around your specific storage needs, and everything opens and closes on soft-close mechanisms.

## What You're Losing Without Under Stairs Storage

Up to 4 cubic metres of wasted space

The average under-stairs void holds 2–4 cubic metres of usable volume. Without purpose-built storage, most of it sits empty while you run out of room elsewhere.

Cluttered hallways

Coats piled on hooks, shoes scattered on the floor, bags dumped on chairs — all because there's no dedicated closed storage in the most trafficked area of your home.

Inaccessible storage

Even when the space is used, items get pushed to the back where you can't see or reach them. Pull-out systems solve this completely.

Visual mess

An open under-stairs area is a visual anchor that drags down the feel of your hallway. Behind closed doors, the space becomes invisible.

Missed property value

Clever under-stairs storage is a high-impact, low-cost improvement that estate agents highlight in listings. It signals a well-organised, thoughtfully designed home.

## How We Work

1

### Staircase Survey

We measure the stair gradient, depth at every tread position, floor levels and any pipes, meters or electrics within the void. We photograph and template the space.

2

### Design & Planning

We design the external appearance to match your hallway joinery and the internal layout around what you need to store — coats, shoes, cleaning equipment, wine, files or a combination.

3

### Manufacture

Built in our workshop from birch plywood carcasses with solid timber doors. Pull-out drawer systems use heavy-duty Grass runners rated for daily use.

4

### Finishing

Doors are painted or stained to match your existing skirting, architrave and door colours. We replicate panel profiles if needed.

5

### Installation

Fitted on site in a single day for most projects. We scribe to walls, floors and the underside of the staircase for a seamless finish.

## Why Choose Bear Brothers

### Every Cubic Centimetre Used

Graduated depth storage follows the stair gradient — taller cupboards at the high end, pull-out drawers at the low end, with nothing wasted.

### Hallway Transformed

Coats, shoes, bags and clutter disappear behind matching doors. Your hallway becomes calm and welcoming instead of chaotic.

### Full Accessibility

Pull-out drawers and rotating shoe racks bring items to you — no more reaching into dark voids or crawling on your knees.

### Installed in a Day

Most under-stairs projects are fitted in a single day with minimal disruption. We work clean and remove all waste.

### Matches Your Home

Door styles, mouldings and paint colours match your existing joinery. The cupboard looks original, not retrofitted.

### Multi-Function Options

Wine storage, home office nook, utility station, dog washing area — we've built under-stairs solutions for every use case.

## Under Stairs Storage Configurations

The simplest configuration is a single-door cupboard with internal shelving — effective and affordable. More advanced designs use the full gradient: a tall cupboard door at the highest point with hanging rail and shelves, transitioning to a series of pull-out drawers that follow the descending stair line.

For families, we often combine coat hanging (top section), shoe pull-outs (middle), and cleaning equipment storage (deepest part of the void). Every section is lit with automatic LED lighting so you can see contents clearly.

Wine storage is a popular specialist option. The cool, dark under-stairs environment is ideal for wine. We build racked storage for 50–200+ bottles with optional temperature monitoring.

## Under Stairs Home Office and Utility Solutions

With remote working now standard, many clients request a compact home office within the under-stairs space. We build fold-out or pull-out desks with integrated power, USB charging and cable management — a full workstation that disappears behind a closed door when not in use.

Utility configurations include pull-out laundry baskets, cleaning product shelving, vacuum cleaner storage with charging points, and pet supply stations. We design around your daily routines.

## Working With Different Staircase Types

Straight staircases offer the most usable volume and the simplest installation. L-shaped and dog-leg staircases create more complex voids but also more opportunities for creative solutions — we've built wine cellars, reading nooks and dog-washing stations in these spaces.

Open-tread staircases require a different approach — we can construct a fully enclosed back panel and floor to create the storage void before fitting the cabinetry.
