Why the Space Under the Stairs Can't Be Used as a Closet: A Designer's Explainer

Residents of two-story private houses and two-level apartments are often bothered by the space under the stairs.
Many people turn this place into a storage room, storing all sorts of junk there.
But don't rush to repeat after them. The space under the stairs should remain free.
Why? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design Yulia Tychino .
Why is a closet under the stairs dangerous?
A storage room in the under-stairs space will definitely “eat up” free space.
Because of this, the room where the staircase is located no longer looks spacious and free.
The room will become much wider and brighter if you remove the completely unnecessary closet.
Another undesirable consequence
It’s one thing if partitions were used to create a storage room.
It’s a completely different matter if the junk is simply lying under the stairs in the open.
In this case, in addition to the “eaten up” space, an atmosphere of disorder also appears in the room.
Want to make the interior look neater? Hide unnecessary things somewhere or at least cover them with plasterboard.
