Measurements checked
We check clearances, access and fitting conditions before the drawings are signed off.

Bespoke under-stairs storage in Alicante

Survey, design, manufacture and fitting
The space below a staircase changes height along its length. Making use of it means deciding what can sit at the back, what needs a pull-out and what you need to reach as you enter the home.
Made for the actual room
Check the room before fixing the design
We look at the furniture in use: door swing, cleaning, capacity and the parts of the room that cannot move.
Materials specified
The quote sets out boards, finishes, fittings and the installation scope.
A defined scope
Furniture and any separate building work are identified in the proposal.
A direct contact
Your project contact answers questions and coordinates the agreed stages.
Our process
From enquiry to installation
We move from an initial price guide to a quotation based on measured dimensions, then manufacture, fit and check the furniture with you.
Initial price guide
Send photos, rough dimensions, the address and a note about what the furniture must do. We can discuss a price range before measuring.
Survey of the space
At the property we check walls, services, clearances and the route for bringing the pieces in. These measurements replace the first estimates.
Design and plans, when needed
We develop the layout and project drawings if the job requires them. They are free when you order the manufacture of that project from us.
Final quotation
The agreed layout, boards, finishes, fittings and installation appear in a written quotation with the final price.
Approval and deposit
You can review the specification before accepting it. The agreed deposit then starts the manufacturing order.
Making the furniture
We prepare the pieces to the approved dimensions and check the details needed for delivery and fitting.
Fitting on site
The team installs the furniture and adjusts doors, drawers, joints and visible finishing details.
Checking it with you
We test how the furniture opens and works together, inspect the finish and record any final adjustment.
Your project starts here
Start with a photo, not a hundred decisions.
I'm Patricia Méndez. Send me a photo of your space and tell me what you would like to change. I'll help you think through the layout, storage and next steps.
No obligation. Rough measurements are enough to get started.
Solutions for your space
Use the slope without creating unreachable depth
A conventional door may not suit the lowest end, which rarely needs the same depth as the tall section.
Cupboard at the tall end
We check coat length, usable depth and room for the door to swing.
Pull-outs where the ceiling drops
Drawers can bring stored items forward instead of making you reach into a deep recess.
Leave part of the space open
A book shelf or seat sometimes serves the room better than closing every section.
Keep technical access
A removable panel lets you reach services without dismantling the whole unit.

Examples of bespoke under-stairs storage
Sixteen photographs from MMV projects in different Spanish cities. Tell us which detail you would adapt to your room in Alicante.
Cupboard at the tall end of the stairsLong garments fit only where usable height, depth and door swing allow.
Drawers in the lower sectionRunners bring stored items forward instead of making you reach to the back.
Open shelves beside the stairShelf heights follow the slope and leave the junction with the stringer visible.
A worktop beneath the stairsSitting height and chair movement are checked before drawers are placed.
Wine storage in a sloping recessBottles need reachable positions; light and room temperature deserve attention too.
A bench by the front doorThe seat uses a low section only where people can still pass through the entrance.
Television storage under the stairsScreen position, sockets and ventilation matter more than the angled outline alone.
A pantry beside the kitchenPull-out drawers bring food forward rather than leaving it lost at the back.
Laundry equipment beneath the stairsWater, drainage, ventilation and appliance-door space all need checking.
An open nook for a petA low opening can use the recess while keeping any services reachable.
Cleaning cupboard under the stairBroom and vacuum height sets which section can store them upright.
Storage for glasses and traysA light door and shallow shelves make the middle section usable without blocking the hall.
Low storage for childrenDrawers near floor level call for handles and travel suited to their users.
Doors with comfortable accessHandle position matters as much as door size when opening from a corridor.
A pale finish beneath the stairsCompare the colour with floor and wall so the unit sits naturally in the entrance.
Walnut fronts below an interior stairGrain direction and panel divisions follow the actual slope, not a standard rectangle.
Three ways to approach the specification
Match storage to the available height
The arrangement follows your belongings and the actual route past the stairs.
Tall end01
Hang or store larger items
The highest section may take coats, cleaning kit or pantry storage where its location allows.
- Usable height measured
- Depth matched to contents
- Door clear of the route
Middle section02
Reach items without emptying the unit
Drawers, doors and shelves are allocated according to how often you need what is inside.
- Fronts divided into workable widths
- Runners selected for the load
- Daily items within reach
Low end03
Use only the space you can access
We do not build a deep cavity merely to add volume that cannot be used comfortably.
- Reach to the back tested
- Sloping finish defined
- Service panels left accessible

Useful details for an initial assessment
Rough details are enough to start.
Photos of the space
Photograph the stairs from both sides.
Key dimensions
Measure heights at several points along the slope.
Use and equipment
Mark sockets, stringer and access panels to retain.
Details for the quote
Describe what belongs in the low and high sections.
From early guidance to a final figure
From enquiry to a confirmed proposal
01Initial review
We clarify use, scope and missing details.
02Proposal
Price and fitting after decisions are checked.
Materials and details
Choose the specification as a whole
A surface, its supporting board, edges and hardware need to work together.
The chosen material sheet sets out performance and care.
Before deciding
Questions before you enquire
Can a desk fit under the stairs?＋
It can where there is enough sitting height, working depth and space to move a chair. We also check lighting and sockets before placing drawers.
What measurements help at first?＋
Send front and side photos, the length of the recess, heights at several points and the clear width in front. Final dimensions are surveyed before manufacture.
What if there is an electrical panel?＋
We locate it on the drawing and design practical access. The quote describes the removable pieces and how that area is finished.

Making useful storage under a staircase
Beneath a straight staircase, the tall end may hold coats, while the low end is more likely to suit drawers or occasional storage. The split depends on actual measurements: we take heights at several points, note the stringer and check the clear width in front. Counting doors from the overall area alone is rarely enough.
If the stairs begin in the entrance, we test openings against the front door and the normal walking route. An open shelf or pull-out may work better than a wide hinged door in a tight section. We also locate sockets, electrical panels and other access points so the new joinery does not lock them away.
Front and side photos, approximate heights and a list of what you want to store let us propose an initial division. After the site survey, the quote sets out parts, hardware, sloping finishes and fitting. A desk or seat is judged by the room left to use it, not merely by whether its outline fits the drawing.
