Understairs joinery that uses every angle

Understairs spaces are triangles, steps and angles, which is exactly why off-the-shelf furniture never fits. The result is usually a dark cupboard full of things nobody can reach, or a wall that is simply left empty.

Custom joinery follows the slope of the stair precisely, so every centimetre works. Drawers pull out from the low end, tall cupboards fill the high end, and open shelving or seating can turn the space into a feature.

• Pull-out drawers.

  Deep drawers that run under the low end of the stair, easier to reach than a cupboard

• Tall cupboards.

  For coats, the vacuum, sports gear and cleaning supplies

• Library shelving.

  Open shelves with built-in lighting for books and display

• Bench seat or reading nook.

  A cushioned seat with storage beneath

• Home office nook.

  A compact desk tucked under the stair

• Wine or bar storage.

  Racks and cabinetry for a feature corner

Every staircase is different, so we measure the rise, the stringer line and the floor space carefully before anything is designed. Doors and drawer fronts are cut to follow the angle cleanly, and finishes can match the stair, the floor or the surrounding joinery.
