Very cool

12 years ago

Not a question but a comment. It's beyond cool, practical, efficient, we have closet that is underneath the stairs going upstairs. The closet door is opposite the steps, the closet door is a full door height and width. Inside the ceiling tapers down as you walk in towards the back. The staircase is next to a hallway and has a full wall like this one. I'm wondering if I can do this and would it be harder or easier considering the open space of the closet that is on the other side of this wall. I hope I haven't confused anyone.

There were actually a couple questions there in your comment. You can do this if the structure of your stair allows it. If you already have a stair in place, you most likely will have to modify the structure below it and rebuild the entire stair. Your current closet shouldn't make it easier or harder, it's typical for wood stairs to have empty spaces below them.

Lofts are another great way to utilize space.. Figuring out how to make a large room homelike is one of life's more pleasant challenges. The stairs are amazing here and really exemplify using space efficiently. I actually prefer this style as opposed to the usual room under the stairs because it flows with the room and doesn't leave an empty void to be filled with oddly shaped artwork. Our company sells a product called a Zoom-Bed that also helps save space. Using one upstairs instead of a normal bed can provide extra room for whatever it is that pleases you. zoom-room.com
