A lot of space in front of the storage on the picture have no practical use. You also save some money on balustrades and side finishes of the staircase.

Paint everything wall colour, and just add some skirting to complete the look, and ugly little door is gone.

Thanks everyone, brilliant ideas! Re: Understairs storage 12Sep 18, 2018 3:57 pm Looking at the plans, you could have a door either from the pantry or study as an alternative. |
