Challenges Islington Homeowners Face
A dark void filled with clutter
The average under-stairs space in Islington homes holds 2–4 cubic metres of usable volume. Without purpose-built storage, most of it sits empty while coats pile on hooks and shoes scatter across the hallway.
Inaccessible storage
Items get pushed to the back where you can't see or reach them. Pull-out drawer systems solve this completely — every item slides out to you.
Cluttered hallways
Without dedicated closed storage in the most trafficked area of your home, coats, bags, shoes and umbrellas create permanent visual mess.
Wasted 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.
Ugly boarding or mismatched doors
Many Islington homeowners have boarded up the under-stairs space with plywood or fitted generic doors that don't match existing joinery. Bespoke doors that replicate your home's style transform the hallway.

Why Islington Homeowners Choose Bespoke Under Stairs Storage
The space beneath the staircase is one of the most underused areas in any Islington 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.
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.
Under Stairs Storage Solutions for Islington Properties
Every staircase is different, and every household has different storage needs. Our most popular solutions include full-height pull-out drawer units that slide out on heavy-duty runners, coat cupboards with internal hooks and shoe racks, dedicated cleaning supply stations, and wine storage with racked shelving.
For families, we design toy storage, school bag stations and hallway organisation systems. For home workers, we've built compact home office nooks with fold-down desks, integrated lighting and cable management.
We also build around obstructions. Gas meters, electric meters, stopcocks and pipework are common under-stairs features — we design storage that keeps these accessible while maximising the remaining space.
Materials and Finishes for Islington Under Stairs Storage
We build under-stairs carcasses from 18mm birch plywood — the same durable, moisture-resistant material we use for all our furniture. Doors are available in solid oak, walnut, ash, or tulipwood for painted finishes in any Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or RAL colour.
Door styles range from Shaker-profile to flat-slab contemporary, traditional panelled to tongue-and-groove — matched to your existing interior joinery for a seamless, built-in look.
Internal fittings include adjustable shelving, pull-out drawer boxes, coat hooks, shoe racks, wine bottle holders and integrated LED lighting. Every component is selected during the design phase so you know exactly what you're getting.
