How to utilize area under this staircase?
Q
Comments (19)
Hi, There are a number of ways in which the area under a staircase can be utilized. In case of a cramped house or space restrictions, this space can be used for providing storage, services or even a powder room as elaborated below : In case there are no space constraints and all the other areas are taken care of, the space below the stairs can be used for add ons such as a library, study, cellar or a minibar. In case there are any dogs in the house, this area serves as a spacious and compact kennel too : Apart from this, if the space is to be treated solely considering aesthetics, it can be livened up using a bit of indoor landscaping, sculptures and water body : Hope these ideas help. Do let us know what you decided to choose. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Suggest curtain and sofa color for this living room.

Hello there, You have chosen a beautiful shade of yellow for an accent wall. You could install some decor on that wall carrying white/ neutral accents. Second, the curtains needs to be replaced with white/beige blinds or you could install white printed curtains from 2-3' above window sill till floor to create an illusion of space. Third, sofa set could be accented with cobalt blue, emerald green, fuchsia pink, ivory whites, mint etc. to create a sophisticated yet relaxing ambience. Fourth, cushions could be contrasted with colors same as the wall. Graphical and geometric patterns are recommended. Fifth, being most important, upgrade your lighting from led bulbs to 20W led tubelights. They will cover a larger area. As of now, even the colors are light, the room appears stuffy and dimly lit due to insufficient lighting. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar 9078942136

I feel partitions are not needed. You already have too much for the space. Adding a partition will shrink the space further. The simplistic solution, you do not wish to discard any furniture would be to paint all the walls in lighter pastles. And use some wall painting frames to highlight certain walls.

Considering the space is tight, I'd suggest that you get single seater chairs as per your color preferences. (check out limonstory, they have bright colors to lighten up the mood!)
For the connecting pillars, I think a one seater sofa can be done with with a low height cupboard

Things that can we worked upon:
1. Lighting - It's on the walls, roof lighting makes much more sense
2. Window - That window seems out of place and shape. The pillar over there is asking for a curtain!
3. Pillars - Instead of them just looking like pillars, you can have some wall art done or just a couple of platforms there to keep small things. (Do add some lights with those platforms!)

Hi Nikita,

First and farmost, you have very beautifull coushion on sofa, from where you buy it?

You can check the videos of Small budget Big makover first session series in youtube. In One such house in Gujarat, Muninder and Bishakha coloured the old sofa set with whtie (The sofa is like yours) and changed the centre table. Interestingly, the family also had your kind of sofa set and they also want some modern style. The architect duo did not changed the sofa, just changed the colour. Yes I found it in youtube. it is the house of Setu Upadhyay. the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85GNhyLeVnM

Another suggestion is that you have many tables on the room. You can drop few chairs and opt for a single centre table

An inexpensive solution is to change the layout of the furniture. Move your 3-seater against the right wall (wall with the window). The two 1-seaters on the right can be positioned against the accent wall. Move the sofas in the awkward place to where the stools are kept.
Fill the awkward area with some greenery and place the stools nearby.
Never push sofas towards the walls. they make small places look smaller. Also you can place the sofas at an angle. Play around and see which look suits the area.

One suggestion I have is to change your coffee table. It looks too big for that small place.
