My husband and I are moving to a new apartment. We have fairly large furniture: a sectional couch, 2 large bookcases, a tv w stand, and two thin cabinets with dvds/vhs movies. Our home is decorated in beach decor. I am looking for a good idea of what to do with a small area under the stairs of our new place. It can be seen from the entrance, and I have no idea what to do. We have two small children, so maybe a play area? I would appreciate any design ideas.
If you like wine I have a good suggestion. I built a small wine rack about 5 feet wide and 30 inches tall. It holds 50 bottles of wine. (I never had more than 25 in it however.) It fit nicely under my stairs, was not overly obvious and got compliments when it was noticed. ( Its easy to do and you can get many ideas on the web).

Congrats on your new apartment. For the area under the stairs you could make it a play area for your two children, or you could add a table with a few plants, statue, or other decor and accents. This would look very nice.
