Space under the stairs? Turn it into a workspace

Need a little extra workspace in the living room but not sure where to start? Think outside the cupboard and turn that under‑stairs closet into a hidden home office. Create a cosy corner where you can work or study in total peace.

A custom-made workspace

With all its small and slanted corners, the space under the stairs or the under-stairs cupboard is often difficult to organise. Here's how to turn this unused space into a handy workspace. Make the most of the tricky under-stairs space with a flexible shelving system. Don't overlook any corner. Determine the dimensions for the bookcase and desk yourself so they fit perfectly under your stairs.
