Under-stairs storage for your home in Euston
Under-stairs storage in Euston: what you get
Pull-out drawers make the most of the low, deep end of the space. Rather than reaching into the dark, you pull the drawer towards you and see what’s inside. At the tall end, a cupboard works well for coats, an ironing board or the vacuum. A mix of drawers and cupboards is often the best use of the space. People typically come to us about wanting a quiet corner for paperwork and a low corner too deep to reach into, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
In a block, the lift, the corridors and the door to the flat set the size of each section. Most households around Euston live in purpose-built flats, so under-stairs cupboards are drawn in sections from the start. Floors in the corridor and the flat are covered on the way in.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

How fitting day works
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the space and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a block of flats, the stairs, landings, lift and doors matter as much as the room: under-stairs cupboards are made in sections sized for each of them. Some older blocks have small lifts or none.
- You contact us about the space under your stairs.
- We visit to measure the space at several points along the slope, as stairs and walls are rarely square in older houses.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build every part from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, following the slope we measured.
- We fit the storage in your home, trimming the edges so they meet the stairs neatly. The finish is sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand once it is in.
How to prepare
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall

Related advice
Why bespoke in Euston?
A standard unit knows nothing about your meter or fuse board. Fitted in front of one, it can make access tricky for readings and safety checks. A design made for the space keeps them in clear reach from the start. Ready-made units can’t follow the boxing and risers found in many flats, so it ends up with gaps or blocks access. Fitted furniture is built around them.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.

Tips worth knowing
These points come up often when people plan under-stairs storage. They’re worth knowing whatever the room:
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Make room so the whole space can be measured
- Think about what you will keep in each drawer
- Look for meters, a fuse board or pipes before we visit
When you load the drawers, put the heaviest things low and towards the front. That keeps the drawers running smoothly and the load where the carcass is strongest. We size the shelves for what you said you’d store, so it is worth keeping to that plan.
Keep sharp or very heavy items away from the painted fronts. Store tools in a box or bag, not loose against the doors. A small chip on a hand-painted finish is easy to touch in.
Materials and finishes
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done in your home, once the storage is fitted. Small marks are simple to touch in later, which helps in a well-used hall.
Moisture-resistant MDF
With wet shoes and coats coming in, a moisture-resistant grade of MDF is a sensible choice. It takes a spray-painted or hand-painted finish well, and stays stable once it’s fitted.

What affects the price in Euston
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How many doors and drawers there are
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The internal fittings
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Getting in touch

- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters

Euston homes and under-stairs storage
Homes built before 1919 make up about 40% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Euston, with about 21% built since 2000, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how under-stairs cupboards are fixed and fitted. The National Heritage List has 242 entries within half a mile of the centre of Euston. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. On TfL’s red routes, the rules on stopping and loading are strict. Where a home in Euston is on or beside a main road, it is useful to mention that at the measuring visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
Near listed buildings like Church of St Pancras, less than half a mile east of the centre of Euston, older homes may keep original joinery that under-stairs cupboards can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. Close to Lewis Cubitt Park? Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and under-stairs cupboards can give those things a place. The wider area includes historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House, about 1.1 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, the cupboard door under a period staircase can be kept or replaced to match the new storage.
Euston is about 1 mile east of St Pancras, part of the London Borough of Camden. We can visit homes in Euston on weekdays, or on a Saturday by arrangement. Our work takes in places right across Camden, large and small.

Your questions about under-stairs storage in Euston
How do you fit under-stairs storage in a flat in Euston?
At the design visit, we measure the way in as well as the room. Under-stairs cupboards are made in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do you cover homes near London Euston station?
Yes, homes across Camden and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture to avoid condensation. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you before anything is painted.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
