Under stairs storage details
Built-in under stairs storage for your hallway
The space under your stairs is deep at one end and low at the other, and the walls and floors sit out of square. Ready-made units leave gaps and dead corners. We measure your staircase and build the storage to its exact shape, so you use the full volume and the cupboards look like part of the house.
Pull-out drawers bring the back of the space to you. Hanging rails take coats where the ceiling is highest. Shelves and boxes hold the rest, behind doors that match your hallway.
Projects start from £2,500 with delivery and installation included. Most take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the materials you choose, and come with a 15-year structural warranty. Your first consultation and estimate are free on Zoom or at our Chiswick showroom.

What can go under your stairs
We plan each project around what you own. You can combine several of these in one design.
Coat and shoe storage
Hanging rails, shelves and shoe drawers sit behind doors that match your hallway. Coats hang at the tall end, where the ceiling is highest. See our hallway wardrobes.
Pull-out drawers
Soft-close drawers slide out, so you reach the back of the space. They suit shoes, bags, sports kit and small household items.
Understairs wardrobe
A full-height hanging section at the tall end holds coats and jackets, with shelves and drawers below. Choose a hand-painted or lacquered finish.
Cloakroom and boot room
Keep boots, coats, bags and umbrellas by the front door. We plan hooks, shelves and shoe storage behind doors, so guests see a clean wall.
Home office nook
Fit a desk, shelves and storage under the staircase and close the doors when work ends. See our fitted home offices.
Bookcase and display
Open shelves with LED lighting turn the wall under the stairs into a feature. See our fitted bookcases.
We build utility cupboards for the vacuum cleaner, ironing board and cleaning kit. Tell us what you want to keep under your stairs.
Layouts for your type of staircase
No two staircases match. Our technician measures yours on site, and we draw the storage in 3D for your approval before production starts.
Straight flight
The space deepens from the low end to the high end. We put pull-out drawers at the low end, shelves in the middle and tall doors with hanging rails where the ceiling is highest.
Turning stairs
L-shaped, winder and dog-leg staircases create two or three separate areas, each with its own shape. We plan each area as its own section with its own door or drawer front.
Awkward walls and services
We measure around walls that sit out of square, sloping floors, meters, pipework and sockets, and draw the storage to fit them.
We fit other awkward spaces too: alcoves, sloping ceilings, under eaves and loft conversions.
Lacquered understairs wardrobes and cabinets
Our lacquered understairs units have a factory-sprayed finish and an Egger MFC interior. Choose flat doors, doors with integrated handles or a handleless design, and match the colour to your hallway. Real oak veneer fronts give you natural grain.
Pull-out sections hold shoes and storage boxes. Doors hide shelves, drawers and hanging space, all planned around what you own. Factory lacquered and veneered storage starts from £5,000. See our spray painted wardrobes for finishes.
Pull-out drawers and shoe storage
Pull-out sections turn the deepest part of the space into storage you can reach. Shoes, bags and boxes slide out to you, so nothing disappears at the back.
Most projects include three or four soft-close drawers, hanging rails and shelves in the price. A closed front replaces the pile of boxes in your hallway.
Hand-painted understairs cupboards
Our carpentry team fits raw MDF panels on site and hand-paints them in the colour you choose. This is our most affordable route, from £2,500, and the paint can match your walls and skirting boards.
Bring a colour from your own paint range and we match it. The hand-painted finish suits period hallways and modern homes.
Shaker-style under stair cupboards
Shaker doors have a framed panel that gives the front of your staircase a classic look. They suit period hallways and modern homes, and they work with hand-painted or lacquered finishes.
Browse our Windsor shaker range for door and handle styles, or ask us for a design of your own.
How much does under stairs storage cost?
Each project is made to measure, so the price depends on the width of your staircase, the number of drawers and cupboards, and the finish. The finish sets most of the price. The price includes delivery and installation.
| Decorative board or hand-painted MDF | from £2,500 |
| Factory lacquered MDF or real wood veneer | from £5,000 |
| Delivery and installation | included |
