Re: Living in a new build, Need storage, thinking under sta

Yes making a feature does make sense. To be honest I was picturing your void as being somewhat small and probably below waist height but if you can fit a full height mirror on there then that's going to be quite a large space. should work out to approx the size of two double wardrobes if I can capi...

Re: Living in a new build, Need storage, thinking under sta

Thanks for all the tips guys - much appreciated. I have had a very slight change in tactic as the space under the stairs backs on to the down stairs loo - I am taking going to take out a section of that wall (there are no supports or anything in the way of this one).

Living in a new build, Need storage, thinking under stairs

Hi All, As my rolling stock in the house has now outgrown the kitchen and the few small spaces you get in a new build I am thinking of a little DIY project to build and under stars cupboard.
