Entrance hallways often become a chaotic, messy dumping ground for shoes, bags, coats, umbrellas and other random items. However, many homes don’t have space for a dedicated, well-organised cloakroom. Luckily, there is another solution: make use of the awkward space underneath the stairs. Understairs cupboards rarely maximise available space, but bespoke carpentry can help you clear the clutter and create a welcoming entrance. Mayseys Rooms Above specialises in designing and installing custom-built storage in Exeter that maximises every inch of space while looking beautifully elegant.
Whether making small improvements or completely transforming your home, it’s important to choose the right contractor for the job. Mayseys Rooms Above is proud to be a trusted building specialist for all manner of projects in Exeter and the surrounding areas, from custom kitchen components to loft and garage conversions.
Trying to force a mass-produced shoe rack or an off-the-shelf shelving unit under a sloping staircase rarely works. It leaves awkward, dust-gathering gaps and completely fails to utilise the deep recesses of the void. Standard flat-pack furniture is also highly prone to breaking under the heavy daily wear and tear of family life.
True bespoke carpentry eliminates these frustrating design flaws entirely. With handmade shelving and cabinetry, a professional carpenter ensures storage fits your exact measurements; no wasted space or dirty crevices.
The team at Mayseys Rooms Above will work with you to create the perfect storage solution for your household needs. This involves making sure you have space to store everything that currently crowds your hallway, from shoes and coats to sports equipment and dog leads.

They glide smoothly out into the hallway on robust metal runners, giving you instant access to items stored all the way at the back. Handleless designs ensure no unnecessary space is taken up in narrow hallways and prevent clothes from snagging.
Custom internal configurations can easily include tailored compartments for:
