Hello!

I'm considering closing off under the stairs to have a small storage room there. Do you think it's doable?
Also, do you need to install any kind of ventilation in that room? There is no electrical outlet there at the moment, should I install one or will a battery-powered lamp suffice?
 
  • A wooden staircase with open risers, a small space underneath, and assorted items including a lamp and plant on a nearby table.
  • Under-stair area with clothing rack and coats; potential storage space. Light wooden stairs on the left and a small window above the rack.
  • Under-stair storage with red suitcases and miscellaneous items neatly arranged on shelves.

Yes, absolutely! Perfect space to create some storage. You can either bring in an electrician to run a cable to a lamp with a motion sensor and maybe install an outlet in case it's needed in the future. Or, a USB-C rechargeable LED lamp with a motion sensor works perfectly. Regarding ventilation, what do you have in the rest of your home? FTX? Exhaust air? Natural ventilation? As long as you’re not storing clothes that are wet/damp or items that emit an odor, you probably don’t need ventilation in that space.
