| Aug 13, 2013 at 18:17 | comment | added | DA01 | John's link is the only practical retrofit option. As longneck points out, the two photos above were engineered from the get-go for drawers. The John's example is essentially just building your own built-in in the empty space under the stairs. | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 18:01 | comment | added | John Smith | Agreed. If you have typical stair stringers, both of the images above wouldn't be possible without a major redesign of the structure. You could do something like this though, which sits below the stringers: media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/6c/1d/a6/… | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 17:56 | comment | added | longneck | What is under your stairs? Dead space? I would put a small door in the wall for a small closet before I attempted a project as labor intensive as what you propose. Both of those pictures show stairs that were built with the drawers at the same time. A retrofit will be much more difficult. | |
