Stair landings can be tricky to turn into useful space. These areas in the middle or at the top of a staircase are often underused spots in a home, but with a little creativity, you can turn them into more functional spaces. Keep reading for inspiration that will transform your staircase landing!
Seating Nook
Seating nooks are a classic way to use a stair landing. If there’s a window, you can create comfortable seating with a view. Built-in bench seating also offers the opportunity for additional storage and custom upholstery to show off your style.
Small Table
A small table and pair of chairs can serve as a game table or a place to relax with a cup of tea. Think of it as restaurant-style seating with just enough room for two.
Office
Squeezing an office into your home can be tough when you have a limited floor plan, but it doesn’t take much space to create a small office on a staircase landing. A simple built-in desk and open shelving can create an efficient workstation for answering emails, paying bills, and the occasional work-from-home day.
Library
Many landings don’t provide enough space for seating or a table. However, many do offer enough space for a small, built-in bookcase. A floor-to-ceiling bookcase can serve as a library and design feature, transforming a plain space into an element that is useful and adds character to your home.
