Great Home Ideas has taken on the challenge of transforming an unused space beneath the stairs in this family home to create a homework station for a child.
The storage space, which was underutilized and accessed by a set of small doors, was opened up, received a coat of paint to make it brighter, and new flooring to help define the new kids area.

Not only was the brick painted a bright white, but the staircase frame and handrails were too. Black accents were added to frame the desk and visual interest.

Custom wood shelves in a natural finish provide shelving for the desk, while under the desk are even more shelves for binders.
