There's a ton of room underneath your staircase that you could be using for extra storage space. It sounds complicated, but you can have it done in just a couple of weekends. When you start to cut away the dry wall, which you will want to do after you remove the baseboard, make sure there is no electrical there. If there is an outlet, then you will want to remove it. Then you just have to be accurate with your measurements when you measure the pull outs that will fit inside.
Key Takeaways:
- You have unused storage space in a place you might not think of off the top of your head.
- You might want to make sure that there is no wiring under there and if there's an outlet to relocate it.
- You will want to be sure to take accurate measurements of everything so that the storage units come out perfect.
“You might already have it right under your feet! Builders rarely utilize the space under a staircase; it’s much easier to just wall it in than to make custom pullouts. But you can reclaim that wasted space in a couple of weekends. I built three pullouts to store everything from shoes to coats and backpacks.”
