Under stair storage systems

[lechatnoir]

I'm sick of the clutter in our hallway and the only furniture solutions I can find are £££ (& will then make the space even tighter) so thinking I'd rather save for a a decent under stair storage solution along these lines.

Has anyone done something similar? did it solve the hallway chaos and is it worth the money? Thoughts on type/size of drawers or whether to go shelves would be helpful. It's mainly for shoes and boots but we lack storage generally so open to ideas.
An idea on
A vague idea on cost would be great as I suspect it's more than I'm thinking but realise that's likely to vary enormously from area to area and quality, type of company used etc . My OH is very handy and would be up for fitting although making from scratch might be a stretch (& we'd be waiting forever!) so a flat-pack or similar kit version would be perfect if such a thing exists?

We made ours from scratch. They have 360° casters so can be pulled right out for access to the electric and gas meters. So useful - I love having somewhere to chuck all the shopping bags and shoes!

We got a local joiner to do ours last year - I think it was around £850 (in the NE)

Thanks definitely not as much as I thought (still reeling from the Sharps bedroom quote!) and for the link really helpful.

We got clever closets to do ours and it was £750 for three drawers. Half the price of a local carpenter. A bit of space is wasted due to the off-the shelf nature of it, but it was quick and done in a day. Dh is pretty handy and does a lot of DIY, but this was really out of his expertise.

Check the spacetidy chap on social media - he's got loads of videos about it! Quite easy to replicate if you're handy, but you might not get that professional finish.

We got Clever Closet to do ours as well. It was just over £1k for three drawers and a cupboard. It looks great and works well. The only minor annoyance is that the back of the drawers doesn't go all the way up, so shoes sometimes fall down the back into the drawer below.

The DC ignore the drawers entirely and leave their shoes in a heap in the middle of the hall with their bags and coats, until I tell them to put everything away I think there was a week-long novelty period where they proactively used the drawers though.

we have a clever closet with 5 drawers, it was £999 but a few years ago now.

best money we’ve ever spent
