It will not only save space, but can also become a highlight in the overall furniture design of the room. The cabinet under the stairs is a practical, original and stylish solution!

Types of built-in wardrobes

Based on the general design, the following types of cabinets can be distinguished:

• Simple models with swing doors- the traditional version of the cabinet with a wide variety of internal filling.
• Coupe. More complex in relation to storage under the stairs, but also quite relevant.
• Drawers under the stairs. Convenient for storing not only small items, but also bulky items, seasonal clothes.
• Shelves under the stairs- a great option for arranging various interior details, as well as storing things that need quick access.
• Showcases with glass. They will look very elegant and original, as well as protect the things behind them from dust settling, this is their undoubted advantage over open shelves.

A closet under the stairs in a private home is often a combination of the above types. Each design is unique and must meet the individual requirements of the owners.

How to choose a wardrobe under the stairs

So, you have decided to place a staircase with a built-in wardrobe in your house. When choosing the best option, we recommend paying attention to the following criteria.

Material

In the most classic version, a staircase with a wardrobe is a single whole and is made of similar materials. However, depending on the design idea, various variations are possible. And the variety of materials offered by the modern market gives a wide scope for the embodiment of the most interesting ideas. What can a cabinet be made of?

• Natural wood of various species- the undisputed leader. Solid wood furniture looks expensive, high-status and is capable of ennobling any room. The main disadvantage is the high price. However, over time, you will realize that the costs were not in vain, the wooden cabinet will serve you for more than a dozen years, perfectly preserving its beautiful appearance. An economical option would be to use furniture veneer. It is made from natural wood, but much cheaper.
• Particleboard is a cheaper option. Lightweight, durable, moisture resistant material. Walls, shelves, a base for mirrors, etc. are made from it.
• MDF . Durable, environmentally friendly, resistant to moisture, superior to wood in strength. Easy to mill, which will allow you to create parts with an original pattern. It can be painted in any shade.
• Bamboo . Gaining more and more popularity within the framework of the creation of eco-interiors. It is beautiful, lightweight, resistant to external factors, and environmentally friendly. Furniture made with bamboo is distinguished by an amazing combination of classics and exoticism, looks incredibly stylish and has a special energy.
• Rattan — another eco-friendly, durable, lightweight, practical and incredibly beautiful material. Will fit into any interior style. However, it should not be used in rooms with high humidity or near heating appliances, open flames.
• Glass is not an aging classic. It is environmentally friendly, beautiful, and will add sophistication and lightness to the design. It is desirable that the glass used in storage systems under the stairs be protected with a special film glued from the inside. Then, if the glass breaks, the fragments will not fly around. Triplex - glass highly resistant to mechanical stress - is somewhat more expensive, but also much more reliable. Stained-glass windows will look very elegant and impressive.

• Acrylic - in comparison with glass, cheaper and more durable. Easy enough to handle.
• A mirror is a great way to visually enlarge a room. Mirrored doors have additional functionality and are simply beautiful. They can be decorated, tinted or sandblasted. Graphite mirrors look very stylish.

Model

The configuration and filling of the cabinet are selected individually, depending on the design of the staircase, the room where it is located, the required functionality and overall design.

Wardrobe.

An excellent solution in terms of space saving. Outerwear, seasonal items, shoe boxes, umbrellas, bags, hats do not always fit into closets located in bedrooms and hallways, and a dressing room under the stairs will help make their storage as comfortable as possible.

This option assumes closed structures with various combinations of elements. A very good solution would be a wardrobe under the stairs. The internal configuration of the wardrobe can include sections of different sizes and shapes. These can be shelves, drawers, roll-out sections, rods in one or two rows, baskets. Instead of sliding doors, you can also use conventional swing doors. Low drawers can be built directly into the steps. Several pairs of shoes will fit perfectly in them.

Pantry.

It can combine drawers under the stairs, open shelves, pull-out elements. Such a storage system will conveniently accommodate various household items, household items, canned food. Here, on special fasteners, you can place a vacuum cleaner, ironing board, mop, children's ice sleds and even a small bicycle or scooter.

Living room wall. This option is possible provided that the stairs are well positioned. It will combine small hinged or roll-out drawers, open shelves and racks on which decor items will be placed. You can envisage a niche equipped with a special mount for a TV.

Library. A bookcase under the stairs will look gorgeous. If the owners are connoisseurs of books and have a solid library, this design will allow you to conveniently place the collection, saving space and decorating, for example, the living room or hallway if the staircase is located there. Of course, books will look most advantageous on shelves made of noble wood, but simpler materials are also suitable, the main thing is that the cabinet harmoniously fits into the overall style of the room.

Bar under the stairs can become a real highlight of a private house. It will elegantly fit into the interior of the living room, bring coziness and will be a spectacular location at various receptions and buffets. Quite often, bottle holders or showcases are placed under the stairs to store a collection of wines.

Wine Vault. It is rather an option of a storage system not under, but above the stairs. But we can't help but mention it here, as the spiral staircase, surrounded by wine racks, looks great without a doubt.

Kitchen set sometimes, too, it can quite successfully sit under the stairs that descend into the dining room.

Working space under the stairs may not be the most comfortable option. Here you will hardly be able to retire and isolate yourself from the environment for quiet work. However, under certain conditions it can be a good solution to the problem of a shortage of free space.

How to make a closet under the stairs

In this matter, you can trust experienced specialists who will design and manufacture a structure according to your individual parameters, or make a cabinet under the stairs with your own hands.

Let's divide this process into stages.

Niche preparation

Here it is important to decide whether the storage system will take up all the space under the stairs or only part of it. In most cases, the niche is a triangle, and the section in the area of ​​the lower acute corner will not be complete. You can place a draw-out box for small things, a niche for interior parts there, or completely abandon it by sewing up this space tightly.

The same goes for the top corner. It can complicate the situation if, for example, you have chosen the option with compartment doors. It can also be eliminated by creating a rectangular area under this space for a standard cabinet, or used as a shelf or drawer in an irregular shape.

The standard depth of an ordinary cabinet is 65 cm, the width of the staircase is much larger. If you equip all the free space under the stairs under the closet, the sections will turn out to be very deep. In the case of storing large and rarely used items, this will be very useful. But for a wardrobe, for example, this option is not very convenient - you will have to reach for the things located at the back wall. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the depth of the sections to the standard one by sewing the back wall or leaving a part of the under-ladder space in front of the cabinet free.

The load-bearing elements must necessarily be the staircase and the walls of the room themselves. Gibsokartonovaya and other cladding may not support the weight of structural elements.

Internal filling

Taking into account the selected model and the requirements for the functionality of the cabinet under the stairs, a detailed drawing plan is created. On it, mark the dimensions of the length, width and depth of all sections. Do not forget to take into account the thickness of the partitions. The internal configuration of the cabinet should include the optimal number of sections of the required dimensions.

If part of the space is supposed to be used for outerwear, we recommend making two niches: in one you will hang the clothes that you wear during this period, in the other you will store things for other seasons. The booms can be arranged in one or two rows if the height permits.

Leave the distance between the shelves about 30 cm, if it is a bookcase, then 25 cm will be enough. The length of the mezzanine should not exceed 1 m, if you want to make it longer, make sure that it has a support every meter.

If you're going to be storing bedding in a closet, it's best to use baskets. In them, the linen will be perfectly ventilated, keeping it fresh.

The entire internal structure of the cabinet can be assembled from chipboard (thickness 16 mm) using confirms and self-tapping screws for the screed. Cut the components exactly to size according to the drawing.

Lighting can be provided in the storage system. Illuminated showcases look great, however, in the wardrobe, a light bulb will also not be superfluous. The fact that electricity was supplied to the closet should be taken care of in advance, preferably even at the stage of finishing the common room with a staircase.

Doors

In the process of making a cabinet under the stairs with your own hands, you can use swing doors, compartments, cargo systems, choosing one option or successfully combining them.

Do not forget that swing doors need enough room to open freely. For a cabinet under the stairs, this is the easiest option to install. However, in conditions of a lack of space, as well as in order to increase the comfort of use, they resort to coupe designs. The difficulty is that if the door leaf is exactly the same as the space under the stairs, some of them will not be able to walk freely on the rails. Therefore, most often the niche for the cabinet is reduced to a rectangular one, or one corner is left beveled. An excellent solution would be a combination of such doors with one or more hinged or drawers, shelves.

Louvered facades look very impressive in a country house or in the country. They will also contribute to better ventilation of the understairs storage system.

In order for the cabinet to serve you for many years, you must use a reliable sliding system. The sliding mechanism consists of rails, rollers and a metal profile. Aluminum components have much more advantages in comparison with steel ones (lighter, unlimited color palette, the ability to use a soft-close closer), but they also differ in a higher price. The length of the doors should not be more than 1 m, this will not create too much stress on the fittings and will increase its service life.

A ladder with cargo drawers is an incredibly comfortable storage system option. You can build boxes or baskets on telescopic ball or roller guides of any configuration.

All components can be purchased in stores specializing in the sale of furniture fittings. Installation is carried out according to the instructions.
