Even despite the presence large quantity free space in country houses, saving space never hurts. In these cases, the window sill space is converted into a place for storing small items, and in free space a closet is being made under the stairs. A cabinet is an integral item in any home, so you need to have a complete understanding of the process of its installation.
Before starting installation work, it is necessary to prepare the space by ridding the area under the stairs of all foreign objects and accumulated rubbish and, if there is a partition, disassemble it.
Having completed all preparation work, stock up necessary tools and materials. These tools and materials include:
- finishing material For internal space cabinet;
- drill;
- roulette;
- electric grinder or jigsaw;
- bars 5*5 cm;
- material for making facades.
Then think about how you can protect the floor covering from possible damage that may occur during the process. installation work. After this, you can start making a cabinet under the stairs with your own hands.
Finishing from the inside
There are plenty of options for finishing the inside of the cabinet. The cabinet can serve as a storage room with a variety of shelves, a wardrobe, or without any doors at all. It all depends on the flight of your imagination. Let's take a closer look at this cabinet design, in which there is a wardrobe at the bottom of the stairs, and a pantry at the top.
The first step is to finish the interior space of the future product and delimit it with a partition. The partition can be made from a sheet of plasterboard and beams with a section of 5 * 5. This is quite enough for the shelves to be quite reliable.
The bars are fixed with self-tapping screws, after which drywall is attached to them. Before making a cupboard under the stairs, make sure you have enough plasterboard as it will need to be used to cover both sides of the partition.
It is advisable to purchase the material from which the shelves will be made at a hardware store. It can be finished goods, ordinary planed boards, or baskets.
Fastening beams under shelves
It is impossible to imagine a wardrobe without shelves inside. The main thing is to know how to do them correctly:
- Prepare the bars and shelves, then measure the width of the cabinet. Saw off the required number of beams, the length of which should be equal to the width of the cabinet.
- The number of finished bars should be twice as large as future shelves. That is, to install 5 shelves you will need 10 beams. The blocks are attached to the cabinet walls with self-tapping screws. Choose the distance between the shelves based on what you plan to put on them. Next, lay the shelves on the fixed bars. To make the shelves more reliable, they can be screwed on with self-tapping screws.
You choose the installation parameters yourself, based only on your own convenience of future stored items.
Having finished attaching the shelves for the wardrobe, proceed to equipping the second half of the space under the stairs. Since the height there is much lower, the work there will be more labor-intensive.
There is nothing to attach the shelves to, so another partition will need to be made.
Don't try to use the space all the way down. At the lowest point of the ladder, you won't be able to store anything anyway, so your energy will be wasted.
Make a retreat from the very first step of at least 70 cm and make a partition for fasteners.
Rules for installing sliding doors
Your product consists of two halves, so you will need to install doors for each of them. The sliding wardrobe is equipped with two sliding doors, and the pantry has one hinged door.
You will make your task much easier if you invite a professional to do it in advance. necessary measurements and make you one individual order door facades and frames. Since each under-stairs cabinet is a different size, you won't be able to simply purchase doors from a store.
Of course, you can try to do everything yourself, but the result is unlikely to please you, since perfect evenness is difficult to achieve.
Installation door frame should not confuse you: all the parts of the box are fixed with self-tapping screws, and the platbands are attached using construction glue or nails without heads. After this, the hinges are installed and the door is hung.
Sliding doors are a little more complicated to install: first the top and bottom rails are attached, then the rollers are screwed to the facades, and only then the doors are installed.
Having an idea about making a cabinet under the stairs, there is nothing difficult in bringing your idea to life.

When designing or even already building a two-story or two-level house, it is recommended to immediately think through issues of how to design the space under the stairs. Lead time will be particularly important in cases where the beneficial use of this area will require the provision of various engineering communications, the installation of which is carried out at the stage of foundation construction.
Features of the arrangement of the under-staircase space depend on several factors: on the location of the staircase itself, on its dimensions - width, height and length in plan, on the possibility of connecting water supply and sewerage to this area, and, of course, on the planned overall interior design.
Interesting solutions beneficial use There can be a lot of similar seemingly “lost space” - it can be a built-in kitchen set, bookshelves, sleeping or workplace, various cabinets, chests of drawers, pantry, hallway and even a bathroom.
Types of stairs, and what kind of space is formed under them
Before you can determine how to usefully use the space under the stairs, you need to choose its design, which will determine how much space it will take up in the house and how much area will be formed under it.
There are many types of stairs, and the choice of a particular one depends primarily on how much space can be allocated for it in the house. It is necessary to understand that the more compact its design, the less space is formed under it.
- should be provided rational arrangement elements kitchen furniture for comfortable food processing and cooking, as well as for convenient dishwashing.
In order to determine all these nuances, it is recommended to draw up detailed drawing indicating the location of each element, and put all dimensions to scale. Even if it is a simple drawing, like the one shown in the figure, it will still be easier to navigate when drawing up a detailed plan for your kitchen under the stairs.
- Bathroom.
Another rather difficult, but solvable task is the arrangement of a bathroom under the stairs.
If the stairs are located at external wall, then there should not be any special problems with connecting sewerage and water supply to the area below it.
If there is a lot of space under the stairs, it needs to be organized in such a way that it can accommodate a toilet, a sink, and also mount a mirror and towel racks on the wall. Perfect option, if it also fits .
The increased complexity in organizing a bathroom in the space under the stairs is also due to the need to construct a well-fitted door. In addition, it is very important for this room to provide and install effective ventilation, since condensation cannot be allowed to accumulate on the walls, which will negatively affect the wooden elements stairs.
It is better to finish the bathroom in light colors and do not choose large tiles, as they will visually make the room smaller. In addition, it is recommended to mount a mirror on the wall sufficiently big size- it will also contribute visual expansion premises. An important point in in this case Proper lighting is also important - it is advisable to make it quite intense.
- Other space arrangement options.
When arranging a hallway under the stairs, sleeping place, cabinets, chests of drawers, pantry, workplace or other options, a number of other nuances are taken into account:
- you will need to provide power supply and install a switch and socket, organize sufficient lighting of the space;
— appropriately sized accessories with the required functionality must be thought out;
— a very important requirement is that the ceiling of the room or area under the stairs does not have cracks or gaps. The fact is that dust will inevitably collect under the steps, and when vibrations from steps occur, it can fall from above into the furnished space.
Video: several original solutions for the rational use of under-staircase space
We do it ourselves - an original spacious closet in the space under the stairs
One of the most popular ways to use the space under the stairs is to install shelves or pull-out cabinets. An example of how to produce similar works under an existing staircase, with closed plasterboard the space underneath will be discussed below.

Manufacturing and installation of cabinet frame structure

|---|---|
 | In this case, the space will be arranged under a small staircase, which means the area under it will not be too spacious. But even this small area can be used quite rationally. Earlier, during the construction of the staircase to the second floor, the space under it was sheathed with sheets of plasterboard, part of which, by the way, can be usefully used to create future decoration. |
 | The first step is marking earlier installed sheets. On them using a ruler, building level and a pencil or marker, lines are drawn defining the area that will need to be removed. When making markings, it is necessary to take into account the height of the steps of the stairs, since they must remain covered with plasterboard sheathing. In addition, the location of the guides of the frame structure on which the drywall is fixed is also taken into account. The areas where these elements are installed can be identified by screwed-in screws. Vertical side lines are drawn with an indentation of 25÷30 mm from the screws. The top line of the future cutout should run along the bottom points of the steps and be parallel to the cut line of the drywall attached to the top points of the steps. |
 | The middle part is cut out along the drawn lines plasterboard sheathing– An electric jigsaw is perfect for this operation. Here you need to take into account that in places where the drywall is adjacent to the frame guides, it is cut off with a sharp construction knife, and unscrew the screws with a screwdriver. |
 | After the excess part of the drywall has been removed, the remaining edges are trimmed using a hacksaw along the entire perimeter of the opening. The vertical sides are cut exactly along the inner edge of the side vertical guides of the frame. In addition to the fact that excess material will be removed, the edges of the resulting triangle will also be aligned, with the lower acute corner truncated. |
 | When the finishing material is removed, a space will open up that needs to be arranged for installing a cabinet in it. The cut out drywall is temporarily removed for now, as it will now interfere with further work. |
 | In addition to the empty space, a wooden frame construction, which must also be carefully partially dismantled. |
 | The frame bars are cut along the top line of the drywall at the same angle as the remaining drywall facing. The work is carried out with the help electric jigsaw or reciprocating saw. |
 | Cut off at the top vertical racks the battens are detached from the bottom horizontal beam, which then also needs to be carefully removed without damaging the floor covering. |
 | Next, in the lower part of the truncated triangle, at its upper vertex, the angle is measured (in the case under consideration it was 49 degrees). This parameter is required for end cut boards, which will become one of the parts of the frame of the opening. The board is taken 150 mm wide and 25÷30 mm thick. |
 | The finished board, cut from the end at the desired angle, is tried on to the place where it is secured. It must be installed exactly flush with the cut drywall. |
 | Next, in the same way, with precise adjustment at the corners, the entire perimeter of the cut-out space is framed. The boards are secured between the scraps of vertical posts remaining after dismantling. As a result, the installed ones should create a solid inner surface, onto which the outer boards will then be attached, which will create a “finish” frame for the cut opening. |
 | This illustration clearly shows the resulting structure at this stage, after securing the internal wooden lintels. Then you need to attach the cut edge of the drywall to them using self-tapping screws - this will achieve maximum strength of the edges of the opening. |
 | If necessary, one more wooden slats secured from below to the stair stringer in order to add thickness to it to the general level of the line of drywall and boards fixed immediately behind it. |
 | Next, a board is attached to the beam, installed vertically on the high side of the triangular opening, from its rear part. It will be necessary for fixation finished design shelves |
 | The next step is to finish framing the cut opening. To do this, along its entire perimeter, to the previously fixed internal boards, boards are installed and screwed, which should completely cover the unsightly picture of the drywall cut. |
 | In order for the frame to look neat, the end parts of each of the boards are carefully adjusted to a certain, pre-measured angle. Only in this case will they fit tightly to each other. |
 | Before fixing these structural elements with self-tapping screws, their ends are coated with wood glue and glued together at the corners. Wherein vertical boards are set according to the level - if a imbalance is detected, then between the internal and external boards Small spacers are made from thinner wooden wedges. |
 | The next step, at the site of future installation, is to form the frame of the front part of the shelf structure. The boards intended for this purpose are temporarily fixed to the opening framing boards already attached to the stairs. In addition, the frame boards are fastened together at the corners. |
 | Next, the installation of the middle vertical bars is marked on the temporary frame. Marking is carried out using a building level. These elements will be the façade for the walls of the shelf structure. |
 | Then, the bars are cut at the angle of inclination of the stairs. Their height should be equal to the distance between the upper and lower, horizontally installed board. There should be two such jumpers, and they are installed at the same distance from each other and from the side posts, that is, the length of the opening is divided by exactly three. |
 | Next, the temporarily fixed bars are removed from the opening, and the front frame structure for the shelves is laid out from them on a flat surface. Then they are finally fastened together according to the markings. |
 | For the convenience of gluing individual parts into a single structure, short wooden blocks are evenly laid out under the mating parts. They will also help to align the frame to the same level. This is how the vertical bars are positioned and secured, and then the horizontal jumpers. |
 | The transverse structural elements will determine the number of shelves or drawers. They are placed between vertical guides so that the shelves installed in different sections of the structure are at the same level. Of course, it is important to maintain the perpendicularity of the parts being connected. |
 | The connection can be made different ways- these can be wooden choppers (dowels, dowels), cuts and installation of special fastening parts in them with glue, for example, wooden dowels. After the entire structure is assembled and glued, it is clamped in clamps until the glue dries completely. |
 | This photo shows one of the elements with the help of which individual bars are fastened into a common structure - a wooden dowel installed in the place of the connecting unit. |
 | While the front part of the structure’s frame is drying, you can start making partition walls that will be installed between the rows of shelves. They are made from plywood 10–15 mm thick, onto which a frame of planks cut from the same plywood is attached using glue. These elements are needed to enhance the rigidity of the partitions. |
 | Glue is again applied to the fixed planks and another sheet of plywood is glued on top of them. The entire structure is additionally secured with staples or self-tapping screws, and its thickness is compressed with clamps. In this case, there are three such walls - they have different heights, equal to the vertical bars of the front part of the frame of the structure that was assembled earlier. Their width should be equal to the depth of the space under the stairs |
 | The next step is to cut out the back wall, which will hold the partitions together. To avoid mistakes, the finished front frame is laid on a sheet of plywood, then outlined with a pencil, and then the required figure is cut out with a jigsaw. |
 | The vertical partition walls are fastened together with a common jumper - a board, which will fix them in the front part from above. All planes must be aligned to the building level. Then, the back side of the walls is also fastened at the top with a wooden plank. After this, the rear plywood wall is fitted to the structure and secured. |
 | The structure is rotated and laid on the back wall, which has just been fixed, and the end sides of the front part of the dividing partitions are coated with glue. |
 | The next step is to place the wooden frame front of the structure. It is carefully leveled and then secured with self-tapping screws. |
 | Now, using glue and then self-tapping screws, you can fasten the lowest wall, that is, the side wall on the truncated side of the triangle. All glued parts of the structure are again fixed with clamps. |
 | Next, the location of the roller guides for the shelves is marked on the inner walls. |
 | Two guides are temporarily secured on both sides of the partition with a special clamp, which allows you to set them exactly in the desired plane and screw them perfectly evenly on the surface and in relation to each other. |
 | The next step is to fix the guides on the walls with self-tapping screws 15÷17 mm long. |
 | After the roller guides are secured, the upper part of the structure is dismantled wide board, which provided temporary fixation of the frame, as it was unnecessary. Instead, a sheet of plywood 8÷10 mm thick, prepared to size, is laid on the upper end sides of the partitions. |
 | Plywood is fixed to end sides partitions and side walls using staples or screws. |
 | In this photo you can see assembled structure completely, and evaluate its quality. |
 | Then finished frame carefully slides into place - into the opening under the stairs. |
 | Before final fixing it, you must once again check the verticality of the installation. It's not too late to make small adjustments by adding in the right places thin wooden wedges. |
 | After the structure is installed perfectly straight and fixed, the gaps around its perimeter can be closed with a neat narrow glazing bead, and a decorative plinth can be secured at the bottom. |
Making drawers
Now we should consider several important points for the manufacture of drawers.
In this version, the master chose plywood 20 mm thick, but high-quality 10 mm material is also quite suitable for this purpose. They are quite suitable for these purposes and chipboards standard thickness in 16 or 18 mm.
The main nuances in this process are the preparation of parts and their fastening, which will be discussed further.
The first step is to take the dimensions from the opening in which the box will be installed - width, height and depth - and it will be made according to them. In addition, you need to accurately determine the location of the guides along which the shelf will run.
| Illustration | Brief description of the operation performed |
|---|---|
 | Based on the obtained dimensions, all the elements of the box are marked and drawn on the prepared sheet of plywood. It is very important to ensure that all angles are right. The next step is to cut out all the parts of the box, and their edges are processed until smooth. |
 | To ensure that the assembly of parts is smooth and strong, first the side walls are installed on the edges of the back, and their place of fastening is drawn. The same is done with the front wall. |
 | The next step is to drill in the marked places. through holes with a diameter of 8 mm under furniture confirmations(European screws), through which the back and front walls will be screwed to the side ones. There should be two such holes on each side. |
 | By drilled holes The centers of the holes are outlined at the end of the side wall, with a diameter of 5 mm and a depth of about 50 mm. The walls are assembled, confirmations are inserted into the holes, and then they are tightened using a screwdriver with a hexagonal bit. |
 | Other drawer junction boxes are assembled in the same way. Confirmats will provide good structural rigidity. True, if plywood with a thickness of 10 millimeters or less is used to make the box, then confirmats will not work, and you will have to use ordinary screws with a diameter of 3.5 ÷ 4 mm. |
 | To find out whether the box is assembled evenly, you need to measure and compare its diagonals - they must be the same length. |
 | Next, a hole is drilled in the front of the drawer through which the handle should be attached to the panel. It must be said that very often an additional panel made of thinner plywood, but slightly larger than the main wall, is attached to the front wall. It is first glued and then fixed with screws from the inside of the box. The size of the screw must be selected so that it is 5 mm shorter than the total thickness of the front wall including the front panel. |
 | After fixing the handle, it is fixed on the box bottom part- this is usually done using self-tapping screws. The bottom panel will finally fix the box in the required rectangular configuration. After that ready box can be subjected to the necessary finishing– stripping sandpaper with fine grain, polishing, painting, varnishing, covering with laminating film, etc. Sometimes this operation is left until the very end of the work. |
 | The next step is to mark the side walls of the drawer along the roller guides that were previously installed in the cabinet design. A careful fitting is carried out, and if it goes well, the guides can be secured with self-tapping screws, the length of which should also not exceed 15 mm. All the drawers are assembled in the same way, and, as we have seen, their front panel can have more complex shape, and the height of the side walls varies. But this does not significantly affect the technology of their manufacture and assembly. After this, it will be possible to carry out the general assembly of the cabinet and its final finishing with all components to perfection. As a result, a beautiful and very functional piece of furniture appeared in the space under the stairs |
For the space under the stairs, cabinets and another, simpler one can be made, or vice versa - complex design, which, for example, pull out from the wheel wells, and the division into separate sections and shelves is already done inside. The advantage of this option is that the cabinets can always be completely pulled out from the under-staircase niche in order to carry out general cleaning inside it.
Even if the house has enough space for all the rooms necessary for comfortable living, the space under the stairs will never be superfluous, and it must be used to the maximum rationally. There will always be a lot of useful things in the household that their owners do not use every day, but they should have a designated storage location. An equipped under-staircase niche is also perfect for this.
Therefore, when planning the construction two-story house and the distribution of communications along it, it is advisable to decide in advance whether and how the area under the stairs will be used. Well, during the final finishing, all this can be decorated in the same style as the room in which the staircase structure will be located. And then competently equipped and beautifully decorated usable space organically, without burdening the interior, it will fit into the overall design, and sometimes even become an eye-catching “highlight” of the room.
For people who have a country house with several floors, the space under the steps to the second floor is often empty and unused. Therefore, by organizing a closet under the stairs in a private house, you will get a stylish and compact place to store your things, and also visually lighten the interior of the hallway. This original solution is especially relevant for small houses, where there is a struggle for every free meter, as it allows rational use of the available free space. In today's article we will talk about the types of built-in cabinets under the stairs, as well as how to make beautiful cabinets under the stairs in the house on your own.
