Want creative stair design ideas? Remodeling your stairway? Or creating a new construction stair design? Why just upgrade from bad to good when you could make it extraordinary? While this can be expensive, even cost prohibitively so, with a little ingenuity you might just create a design for your staircase that is both amazing and inexpensive.
Often the space under the stairs is a dead zone. Wall it in, close it off, add a door and call it a closet, or rather junk closet is often a more accurate description.

While the possibilities are virtually endless, unfortunately, most of us are limited by a budget so I’ve kept these examples within the typical range of possibilities.
