Under-stairs storage

Understairs storage solutions — drawers, cupboards and shoe walls

The space under a staircase is the single most wasted area in most London homes. SAV turns it into pull-out drawers, hidden cupboards, full shoe walls or a working nook — drawn to fit the exact stringer angle and tread depths of your staircase.

Bespoke under-stairs pull-out drawers in a London hallway

Three layouts that work

Pull-out drawer bank — full-extension drawers under each tread for shoes, scarves and the daily clutter that gathers by the front door. Hidden cupboard — a single full-height door behind the tallest part of the stair, ideal for the vacuum, ironing board and coats. Open shoe wall — angled shelves following the stringer, with a low bench for putting shoes on.

  • Full-extension pull-out drawers under each tread
  • Hidden full-height cupboard with soft-close door
  • Open angled shoe walls following the stringer
  • Under-stair home office nook with integrated lighting

Surveying an angled space

Every staircase is different. Our surveys laser-measure each tread, the stringer angle and the available depth — then the wardrobe design follows that geometry rather than fighting it.

Frequently asked questions

Will pull-out drawers under stairs be sturdy enough for shoes?
Yes — we use full-extension runners rated to 30 kg per drawer, plenty for shoes and bags.
Can you fit lighting in an under-stairs cupboard?
Yes — battery-powered or wired LED strips with a motion sensor are a popular addition.
