There are a lot of things you can do with that space under a staircase. like turning it into a design element, a closet or storage, a spot to do laundry, or a bedroom for an orphan (not recommended). But one of the best uses for that space is as a reading nook or small library. With that in mind, I thought I’d share some visual inspiration…
This one seems as though it would be easy to build or have built:
Love the cozy feel here:
Perfect reading nook:
Nice spot for a few books:

What do you think–would you like bookshelves under your stairs? What do you have there now? Share in the comments…

Some good ideas here. Alas, I can’t utilise the under-stairs space but I think its a great idea unless you already have an annoying nephew ensconced there 🙂

Would love to do this. The swing is cool, but I think a comfy sitting chair, perhaps a wing back, would work best.

I would definitely get motion sickness if I tried to read while swinging. When your own brain doesn’t want you to have fun (but I can dream).
