Looking to carve out a little more room for living? Why add on when you can add under? Reclaiming the abandoned space under your stairs and transforming it into a functional area is one way to gain extra square footage without changing the footprint of your home. Adding light-coloured shiplap on the wall and sloped ceiling frames the darkcoloured shelves and cabinets to make this space an inviting niche, utilizing it to its full potential.

 

A refreshing run of full width shiplap panels creates a timeless, textured backdrop to this small space. The white panels elevate the sloped ceiling while beautifully framing the custom shelving and storage unit, giving a nod to the enduring appeal of shiplap.

The choice to go to the dark side with the built-in wall cabinets and shelving makes the niche both dramatic and cozy. The solid maple doors with a rich, dark finish have crisp, straight lines that complement a minimalist or contemporary design style.

With a broad-faced design and traditional feet, the Amerock® Candler cabinet pulls with an oil-rubbed Venetian bronze finish offer a nice blend of traditional and transitional for maximum versatility. They are the perfect match for the Midnight Cabinetry Collection.

Northern Oak, from the AquaWood collection of plank flooring, brings a new dimension of luxury. SPC rigid core flooring combines the strength of stone and the beauty of wood. The traditional painted bevelled edges and the authentic wood grain surface are 100% waterproof, and the click-lock system makes installation easy. Backed by a lifetime residential warranty.
