#2250. Modern under-stair library: efficient space utilization in a country house

This interior is a splendid example of rational space utilization under a staircase in a country house. The designers have transformed a typically unused area into a functional library and cozy reading nook. The dark blue/graphite built-in cabinet contrasts with the white walls, creating an elegant and modern accent in a space with a predominantly neutral palette.

Particularly noteworthy is the thoughtful detailing: the wooden stair treads harmonize with the warm wooden flooring, while minimalist metal railings add a contemporary touch. The built-in bookshelves are not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing thanks to decorative elements – vintage clock, plants, and small art objects that give the space personality.

Two compact armchairs with geometric pillows create an ideal spot for relaxation, and a small rug clearly defines this area. The lighting, represented by a small wall sconce, ensures the functionality of this space even in the evening. This design demonstrates how one can elegantly integrate interior space design with the structural elements of the house.

Plants add life to the space – a large plant in a woven basket on the left softens the geometric lines of the interior and brings a natural element to the design. Such a solution can be easily adapted for any country house, turning "dead zones" into functional and aesthetically pleasing corners.
