Why waste an inch? A broom cupboard tucked under the staircase is commonplace – but in small spaces a little lateral thinking can really make a difference: (via) Not the ideal location for the dishwasher, I’ll agree – there’s no landing space above or beside it, and who knows where the sink might be.
