Built-ins & Media Centers
Under-Stair Desk and Hidden Storage
This built-in combines a desk with concealed storage under a modern open-riser staircase. A walnut desktop, white drawers and a floating shelf form the work area at the taller end of the space, beside the cable railing.
Flat push-open panels follow the stair slope and open to divided interior shelving. Keeping the storage behind closed fronts gives the desk and surrounding room a simpler appearance while retaining access to the space under the stairs.
The gallery shows the finished desk, the closed panels and the storage with its doors open. Watch the door-opening video to see how the concealed compartments are accessed. Built by Sims Custom Woodwork in Trenton, GA.
