Bespoke Storage

Bespoke Storage Built Around Your Staircase

The space under the stairs is often awkward, cluttered or wasted. With a bespoke design, it can become shoe and coat storage, a hidden utility area, a home office, a bookcase, a media wall or a practical combination of cupboards and drawers.

Every Clever Storage installation is measured, planned and built around the exact angle of your staircase and the way you live, giving you a storage solution that feels integrated rather than added on.

FAQs

Common Questions

Practical answers about bespoke under-stairs storage, design visits and installation across Kent.

How much does bespoke under-stairs storage cost?

The cost depends on the size of the staircase, the layout, materials, number of drawers or cupboards and the level of finish required. Clever Storage provides accurate advice after seeing the space during your free design visit.

How long does installation take?

Many under-stairs storage installations can be completed within one to two days, depending on the design and site conditions. More detailed layouts may take longer, especially if there are several pull-out sections or additional access requirements.

Does the area need to be emptied before installation?

Yes, it is helpful if the under-stairs area is cleared before the visit. This provides safe access to measure, prepare and install the storage neatly.

Can storage be built around electric meters, fuse boards or pipework?

In many cases, yes. Clever Storage checks the position of meters, fuse boards, pipes and any access panels during the design visit so the storage can be planned around them while keeping important services accessible.

What types of under-stairs storage can you build?

Clever Storage designs pull-out drawers, shoe storage, coat storage, combination layouts, utility and household storage, home offices and studies, mudroom and bench storage, bookcases, and media wall & TV storage. Different elements can be combined around your staircase and lifestyle.

Can you combine drawers, cupboards and shelving?

Yes. Combination layouts are designed around what you need to store and can include drawers, full-height cupboards, hanging rails, open shelves and concealed household storage.

Can Clever Storage build a home office under the stairs?

Yes. Where the staircase geometry allows, Clever Storage can create a compact under-stairs office or study with a fitted desk, shelving, drawers and cable-management space.

Can you create media wall & TV storage beneath a staircase?

Yes. A bespoke design can incorporate a television, media equipment, display shelving, closed storage and discreet cable management while following the shape of the staircase.

Can the design include open shelving or bookcase storage?

Yes. Open bookcase shelving can be fitted beneath the stair pitch on its own or combined with closed cupboards and drawers for a balanced display and storage solution.

Do you provide a free design visit across Kent?

Yes. Clever Storage offers free design visits across Kent. During the visit, the staircase is measured, your requirements are discussed and a practical bespoke layout is recommended for your home.

Can the storage match the existing dΓ©cor?

The storage is designed to look integrated with your hallway and staircase. Door styles, proportions and finishes can be planned to suit the character of your home.

What materials do you use?

Clever Storage uses professional joinery materials suitable for fitted storage, including MDF for doors and drawer fronts, strong carcass materials and quality drawer runners or hinges depending on the design.

Will there be much dust or disruption during installation?

Clever Storage aims to keep disruption as low as possible. The work area is kept organised and the installation is planned carefully so your hallway can be transformed with minimal inconvenience.

Can under-stairs storage be installed in older properties?

Yes. Older homes often have uneven walls, unusual staircase angles or less standard spaces, which is exactly where bespoke under-stairs storage is useful. The design is measured and built around your actual staircase.

Is planning permission needed for under-stairs storage?

In most homes, internal under-stairs storage does not require planning permission. If your property has unusual restrictions, listed status or building-control concerns, these should be checked before work begins.

Which areas do you cover?

Clever Storage covers Kent, including Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, Ashford, Thanet, Sandwich, Deal, Dover, Folkestone, Hythe, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sittingbourne, Dartford, Gravesend and surrounding villages.
