hi came across this site while looking for ideas to help with my open plan stairs . i have open plan stairs in my living room and i hate them as underneath gets very dusty and dirty no matter how open i hoover the stairs so its impossible to keep anything clean under them ,i would love a table and chairs under my stairs but with the stairs being open not practical ,is there anyway they can be closed off cheaply? as this is a council property . i was thinking about some thin wood nailed along underneath but being a useless at diy not sure if this would work ?
