Under your Stairs

Uses for that Space Under your Basement Stairs

Your home is full of different rooms and spaces. D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling wants to help you make the most of every nook and cranny! Make the space under your stairs another space you can be proud of! We have some ideas!

Play Area

You may not appreciate when your little ones play on the stairs, but under the stairs can’t hurt! Create a playhouse or even a playroom or just devote a little space to their toys and games.

Organized Storage

You may already be using the space under your basement stairs for storage, but if things are just thrown and stacked underneath, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Drawers and cabinets can be made to fit precisely in that space and give you a little extra organization.

Bar Area
Need a place for a sink and a small fridge in the basement for when you entertain? There’s room for that! Use the space under the stairs to make a small version of a bar that will let you be the perfect host!

Display Area

You don’t have to have entirely practical purposes for the under-the-stair area, but you can still use the space by creating ways to display things and make the space look full rather than void.

Seating

Need an extra seat or a reading nook? Put a bench with comfy cushioning underneath the stairs. It will create the perfect place to lounge with a good book. You could even include a bookshelf in the space design!

An Extra Bed

Maybe your kids have all their friends over and sleep in the living space in the basement when they settle in for movies and popcorn. Create an extra sleeping space with a built-in daybed underneath the stairs!

Walkway

It’s entirely possible to put nothing below the stairs! If the architecture of your home will accommodate, open the area so that people can pass below the stairs. it can act as a transition between rooms or spaces while being an eye-catching design!

Pet Apartment

Do Spot or Felix need a space of their own? Creating the right space under the stairs can keep their pet living space out of the way and the right design can make it a cute addition to your basement!

Whichever idea would suit you best, D.J.’s Painting and Remodeling just wants you to have a home where every space works for you! It doesn't have to be the basement stairs! You can take these ideas and transform any staircase in your home!
