OH just pointed out that we can't do anything built in because that nook is needed to fit large items up the stairs. So now I need to find a solution like @catgirl: posted but with taller storage in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840461 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 15:11:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2840461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the pictures @Hypatia and @catgirl linked. I think tall cupboards flanking the window is going to look weird, my feeling is you need to use the full width. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840446 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:43:57 +0000 Ms. RV 2840446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I like those but I need doors :sad: I have 24 inches each side.</p> <p>Also did you know you linked the same thing all four times? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840444 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:28:53 +0000 Ms. RV 2840444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: @crazydoglady: @catgirl: Is it going to look too cabinet-y if I do this? I would want the center part to come up to at least counter height (the window is 40 inches from the floor). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840443 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:27:14 +0000 Hypatia 2840443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can’t tell how much room you have on either side of the window, but I like this cabinet (19 inches): <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/</a></p> <p>Or this one at around 36”: <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/</a></p> <p>Then this bench (actually a tv stand) at 72”: <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/</a></p> <p>Or this shorter one at 58”: <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30371711/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840442 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:21:18 +0000 catgirl 2840442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe something like this? Or at least a similar shape with something taller in the middle. </p> [attach=6706/18/pdo5ni.535x480.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840440 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:20:43 +0000 crazydoglady 2840440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: That's exactly what I was going to suggest! </p> <p>I would use the entire wall space. You'll never regret having more storage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840439 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:15:34 +0000 Hypatia 2840439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about this? </p> [attach=8948/18/pdo5dy.400x600.42EC01E1-0CAF-404F-A4AB-ACE71FE08149.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840438 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:09:32 +0000 Ms. RV 2840438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adding my inspiration pictures... </p> [attach=5855/18/pdo53w.600x600.s-built-in-ideas-798-home-interior-regarding-cabinet-decor-1.jpg] [attach=5855/18/pdo53x.424x600.Mirrored-Bernhardt-724x1024.jpg] [attach=5855/18/pdo53y.600x400.formal-dining-room.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-furniture-for-hall-nook#post-2840436 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 13:03:01 +0000 Ms. RV 2840436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My new house does not have a linen closet. There is a pretty big nook at the top of the stairs where I would like to add storage. Except I can't decide what kind! </p> <p>I was thinking either a large sideboard under the window, tall freestanding cabinets on each side of the window, or built in cabinets under the window. </p> [attach=5855/18/pdo4t2.337x600.20180818_133753.jpg]
