How to Build an Under-the-Stairs Storage Unit

A Great Idea Made Better!

My design is similar to one we featured 65 years ago. The building process was much the same, but I upgraded the plywood, used modern ball-bearing slides, and chose concealed push latches for a clean look. Hidden behind the paneled wall is a lot of accessible, organized storage space.

 

Open the Wall

  • Pry off the baseboard, then remove the drywall.
  • I cut out a small section of drywall first, so I could see inside and verify that there were no wires or other obstructions in the cavity.
  • If there is an existing outlet, you’ll have to relocate it. I used a reciprocating saw to cut the drywall, taking care not to cut into the stair stringer.
