Under stair storage

[Riya]

Hello,

I have got a week off from work and I am planning to utilise this time to redecorate.

Actually I have an empty understair storage area which I want to utilise for hanging coats, keeping ironing board, hoover, organising kids' toys-books-colours etc, the problem is the measurements. They are:-

230 cms/90.5 inches= highest corner Length

90 cms-depth

228cms-ground level length

264cms-projected ground level length

30cms-lowest corner length

I was initially planning to get something like this from Ikea, but it is not fitting in this area.

and something like this.

Any other ideas, Actually I wanted something with a mirror on that corner coz it will otherwise look too narrow.

Pls share your ideas and advise,

Looking forward to hearing from everyone.

Cheers and Merry Christmas

having trouble visualising the area concerned!!!!

are we talking the usual triangle with the points cut off!!!
or a triangle with a box attached!!!!

also need to know which direction your doors would be
any way if you can tell us if when looking at the doors of the imaginery unit under the stairs would we see a slope to the left or right or would it be behind!!!!

Hi,

It is a triangle with the points cut off. Putting a rough drawing of the same below. Please note the angles are not exact. It is the best I could draw in this post.
It is how we see it when we are standing in front of the under stair area. So the right corner is the highest one.

Here is a good understair option.

Similar to what BA has in his shed.

Well I can see it fine when clicking that link.
Your computers rubbish, you need a new one, at least an Intel quad core with dual SLI 8800GTX's with 8GB of ram and 2 terabyte hard drive.

.....or you can just enable flash/java
