Bespoke under-stairs storage in Barcelona

We can assist you inEspañolEnglishDeutschРусский

Designed for the space, specified for use and fitted on site

The space beneath stairs changes height at every step, and not all of it is equally reachable. We divide it by access, services and how often items are needed.

Survey and fitting in BarcelonaHomes and professional spaces

Designed for your space

Each under-stair door has a different headroom

The lowest point may look useful in a drawing yet prove awkward every day. We record several heights along the stair and put frequently used things where they can be reached.

Slope surveyed

Treads, stringers and height changes are mapped.

Contents reachable

Drawers or trays bring stored items forward.

Services respected

Access panels and wiring are located before fronts are closed.

Route preserved

Opening doors do not consume the passage by the stairs.

Our process

How we work, step by step

These steps connect the first estimate to the final fitting. Measurements and specification come before the binding price.

Initial estimate
Share the address, room photos, approximate measurements and the furniture you have in mind. We outline a price range to be checked against the measured space.
Measured survey
At the property we record the relevant dimensions, services and wall conditions. We also check how the pieces can enter the building.
Design, when required
If drawings or a design are needed, we develop them after the survey. The design work is included at no extra charge when you order us to manufacture to that project.
Detailed quotation
With the layout and specification agreed, we set out materials, fittings, delivery, installation and the final amount in writing.
Approval and deposit
You confirm the proposal and pay the deposit stated in the quotation. This authorises the production order.
Workshop production
We cut, finish and prepare the components according to the approved drawings and dimensions.
Fitting on site
The team delivers and assembles the furniture, then adjusts fronts, hinges and visible joints.
Review with you
Before closing the job, we go through doors, drawers and finishes together and record anything that needs a final adjustment.

Your project starts here

Give every centimetre a purpose.

I'm Joaquín Pardo. Show me the awkward corner, column or wall that is limiting your room. We can start with what you need to store and explore ways to use the space without crowding it.

No obligation. Rough measurements are enough to get started.

Solutions for your space

Tall space for daily use, low space for reserve

The run may hold a vacuum, books or pantry supplies, but each calls for a different opening and depth. Use comes before finish.

Cleaning cupboard

Brooms and vacuum need height, possibly a charging outlet, and a clear removal route.

Shoe drawers

Pull-outs use low space without reaching to the back of a deep shelf.

Workstation

The chair goes where there is headroom and enough light.

Pantry

Shelves should allow food to be removed clear of stairs and doors.

Three ways to approach the specification

What really fits beneath the slope?

The useful height at the point of access matters more than enclosed volume.

Store01

Cupboards and reserve

The taller part takes regular items; lower areas hold less frequent belongings.

Heights checked along the run
Open doors on the plan
Access panels marked

Pull out02

Drawers at the low end

Contents come into the hall rather than disappearing behind a small front.

Travel space measured
Runners suited to load
Objects sorted by use

Occupy03

Seat or working spot

Seat, chair and light are tested at real scale inside the recess.

Illustrative material detail for bespoke under-stairs storage

Materials and details

Choose the specification as a whole

A surface, its supporting board, edges and hardware need to work together.

StructureSupports and thicknesses depend on dimensions and the intended load.

FinishColour and texture are considered alongside cleaning and exposure.

HardwareHinges, runners and mechanisms are selected for their intended use.

JunctionsEdges, fixings and access panels are resolved before manufacture.

Product-specific performance and care instructions are checked against the selected specification.

Before deciding

Under-stair storage questions

Can the area be fully enclosed?＋

That depends on access panels, ventilation and stair use. Any required openings remain marked.

What suits the lowest point?＋

Drawers, trays or seasonal belongings work when there is room to pull them out.

Could a desk fit there?＋

Only if sitting, standing and passing remain comfortable. We draw it with the chair in place.

Start with the details you have

Photograph the stair from side and front

Measure heights at several points, note service panels and tell us what should be stored or used there.

Cabinet divisions follow dimensions taken at the stairs on site.

Under-stair furniture: make the low end reachable

A stair slope creates spaces of very different heights. We measure several points before placing accessible drawers, doors or shelves.

The lowest section may be poor for everyday items. A pull-out tray can serve it better than a tiny door to a deep compartment.

Skirting, structure, services and ventilation are checked before closing the front. The components must be able to enter and be assembled in the property.

Send a full side view of the stairs, rough width and height, and a contents list. The survey establishes the final profile.
