I'm a first time poster in this forum. In case if you need further details, i can provide.

Hello Corner stone, It is not a regular seating. Idea needed just to cover up the area. There is a 3 seater sofa straight opposite to the TV unit. I have attached the plan for your reference.

I agree that placing a sofa in that area is a wastage of space and money. I was in the same situation a couple of years ago and I narrowed down to drinks bar or store room. I finally went ahead with storeroom. One of my neighbors turned it into a powder room. We use the storeroom for invertor, kids outdoor sports stuff, AC stabilizers etc. You will get plenty of ideas if you google ‘under the stairs ideas’

I have couple of ideas for you to use the area below the stairs -

1. 1. built in aquarium, if you are fond of fishes.
2. 2. a water body like a small pool
3. 3. small indoor garden, which will add a patch of green to you indoors.
4. 4 chest of drawers
5. 5. storage a area with a doors

small garden is the best of all i suggest you something more apt for the setup which will be more convenience and something you have with summer at home.

Is this area part/extension of living room? If Yes you an go for a small water body or a garden with good lightening. It will be a highlight when you have a small parties hosted at home, every one would want to sit next to it to feel the coolness / freshness.

Can place a cabinet or console there.

This area can be best used as a storage area if you need. Otherwise can make a good Study also since this place also has good ventilation. look at these picture.

Off the box suggestion. Being a Chef and Hotel designer, I would highly recommend making this space a wine cellar. Right niche, right view, right movement, right showoff !!

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!
