Understairs Storage
Bring a new lease of life to your staircase, from concept to completion
Bespoke Understairs Storage, Designed Around Your Home
Understairs spaces are often overlooked, yet they offer some of the most valuable storage potential in the home. At Bentley Kitchens, we design and manufacture fully bespoke understairs storage solutions that transform unused space into beautifully crafted, practical furniture tailored precisely to your property.
Whether you are looking for pull-out drawers, open shelving, coat cupboards, wine storage, or a combination of all four, we create designs that make the most of every centimetre beneath your staircase.
Made to Measure, Not Made to Fit
No two staircases are the same. Angles, heights, tread depths and structural details vary from home to home, particularly in period properties and character houses.
Our understairs storage is:
- Designed from a full site survey of your space
- Drawn to match the exact profile of your staircase
- Built in our workshop to millimetre precision
- Installed by our own fitting team for a seamless result
The result is furniture that looks as though it has always been part of your home, not an afterthought or off-the-shelf solution.

Understairs Storage Examples
Seamlessly Matched to Your Interior
Your understairs storage should feel like part of the wider design of your home. We can:
- Match existing skirting boards, architraves and moulding profiles
- Use the same door styles and finishes as your kitchen or utility room
- Incorporate handles, knobs and ironmongery to complement your interior scheme
- Paint or spray to any RAL or Farrow & Ball colour
Whether you prefer classic shaker styling, clean contemporary lines, or period-inspired detailing, your understairs cabinetry will sit perfectly within your interior scheme.
Handcrafted Quality, Built to Last
All Bentley Kitchens understairs storage is handcrafted using premium materials, with the same attention to detail we apply to our kitchens and furniture.
This includes:
- Solid hardwood frames and face frames
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners as standard
- Hand-painted or spray-finished surfaces
- Dovetail drawer construction where applicable
- Premium quality fittings and ironmongery throughout
This is not flat-pack furniture. It is long-term cabinetry designed to perform beautifully for years to come.
Ideal for Hallways, Kitchens and Utility Spaces
Understairs storage is incredibly versatile and can be designed for use in:
- Entrance hallways and porches
- Kitchens and kitchen-diners
- Utility rooms and boot rooms
- Living rooms and snugs
- Home offices and landings
We regularly design understairs solutions that incorporate seating, concealed appliances, or additional worktop space, making the most of every square metre.
