Glass-Fronted Shoe Cabinet vs Under-Stairs Storage: Which Should You Choose?
Deciding between a glass fronted shoe cabinet and under stairs storage depends on the layout of your hallway and the way your household uses the front door.

A side by side table covers access, capacity, appearance, installation and what happens when you move house. We then look at the situations where a cabinet makes more sense, such as flats, rented homes and narrow halls, and where under stairs storage comes into its own, particularly in Victorian and Edwardian terraces. You will also find advice on combining both approaches, adding a bench for sitting, and the practical checks to make before choosing, including door swings, radiators, meters and safe escape routes in flats and family homes....
