The first thing that grabbed me about this understairs chill-out area was the patterned wallpaper. It just shouts, “Look at me, I’m gorgeous!”.
The space beneath stairs is often underutilised; it can lack head space and be an awkward shape. It is generally used (especially if it’s a hallway) as a dumping ground for shoes, bags, sports gear and kids’ bikes – but it can be so much more!
So what if you can’t stand up in there? It’s the perfect space for a day bed or low sofa with a little side table to put a lamp. How about a couple of bean bags, floor cushions or tatami mats? Add some made-to-measure bookshelves (like these clever ones made from wood pallets) and you have yourself a whole extra room!
