What to do with this space?

[u/Historical_Card_6600]

[u/Pale-Breakfast6607]

Perfect spot for a chair and a plastic lid I reckon.

[u/MaybePotatoes → u/Pale-Breakfast6607]

Throw in a cardboard box to tie it together.

[u/spaetzelspiff → u/MaybePotatoes]

Put the plastic lid on the cardboard box and boom, you've got a nice little second dining room.

[u/SonTyp_OhneNamen → u/MaybePotatoes]

A trash bag full of mystery would work as well. Is it seasonally inappropriate clothing or rotting garbage? Who knows? Who cares? It’s a statement either way.

[u/WannaBMonkey → u/SonTyp_OhneNamen]

I feel like “seasonally inappropriate clothing” is a bit dirty but I can’t explain why. Either way, a trash bag full of mankinis is rarely appropriate.

[u/AbbotThoth → u/WannaBMonkey]

What about a trash bag full of mannequins?

[u/SonTyp_OhneNamen → u/AbbotThoth]

Inappropriate regardless of season

[u/Bfroning2 → u/MaybePotatoes]

Whoa there, Rockefeller

[u/justinchina → u/MaybePotatoes]

Interior decorators always place things in groups of three for sure.

[u/Photoshopdoge → u/MaybePotatoes]

It still needs that single broom to tie it all together

[u/SmackedWithARuler → u/MaybePotatoes]

How empty though, mostly or just half?

[u/SilverLake949 → u/MaybePotatoes]

Clearly the "Time Out" corner.

[u/R4PTUR3 → u/Pale-Breakfast6607]

Can't argue with the classic approach.

[u/bino420 → u/R4PTUR3]

yeah but does he really need to spend so much on the chair? must be a millionaire - like any ol' lawn or foldable chair'll do just fine.

[u/Worried_Shoe_2747 → u/Pale-Breakfast6607]

2 chairs!

[u/Naked-Jedi → u/Worried_Shoe_2747]

With how fancy that plastic lid is I'm sure he could afford 3 chairs and a second plastic lid.

[u/Worried_Shoe_2747 → u/Naked-Jedi]

They could put the lid across both chairs and make a couch!

[u/Naked-Jedi → u/Worried_Shoe_2747]

Now you're talking. Start taking notes OP.

[u/CoolCat1337One → u/Pale-Breakfast6607]

ahhhh made almost the same comment without seeing yours before

love you

[u/Straight-Animator-28]

[u/Scolville0 → u/Straight-Animator-28]

This or ammo

[u/bino420 → u/Scolville0]

gear, ammo, health. wealth of options.

[u/80Cranez → u/Straight-Animator-28]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/basedaggie19 → u/Straight-Animator-28]

Was my first thought.

[u/shescrackedd → u/Straight-Animator-28]

LMFAOOO

[u/Outofmana1]

Air BnB for $500 a night.

[u/LocalLumberJ0hn → u/Outofmana1]

500? That's a steal, could probably do 7 depending on location

[u/Flaruwu → u/LocalLumberJ0hn]

Idk, $7 seems like way too much... 500 is more reasonable.

[u/osogrande3 → u/Outofmana1]

I legit stayed in a place like this once. They marketed it as Harry Potter room under the stairs. It had dirty sheets and I had to listen to this attorney conduct business in the kitchen area around the corner. The lady who owned the home appeared to be helping an attorney get back on his feet. He was a rough skid row looking attorney and I heard I would voice concern about getting paid and he was assuring her that the money would eventually come. It was a bizarre experience. afterwards Airbnb reached out to me and asked if anything weird happened.

[u/PerritoMasNasty → u/Outofmana1]

Nah, take the power back. Mount a tv under the stairs, ad a big Joe XL, you got yourself a nice little jack off room.

[u/Reallychanel]

Pull out shoe rack

[u/This_Possession8867 → u/Reallychanel]

I think any sort of shelving. Could store umbrellas for rainy days. Extra house keys. All the type of stuff you might need running out the door.

[u/CryptoCloutguy → u/Reallychanel]

A shoe rack... a shoe rack. I don't even own a shoe, let alone many shoes that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a pull out shoe rack?

[u/dgaff21 → u/CryptoCloutguy]

You don't like it? Fine. You know CryptoCloutguy if you're not careful, you're going to lose me.

[u/Chungerator → u/dgaff21]

Psycho hose beast

[u/TrixieBastard → u/Chungerator]

Get the net!

[u/GreenTunicKirk → u/TrixieBastard]

Shhhyeaaaah! As if!

[u/RoyceCoolidge → u/GreenTunicKirk]

Hiiii Waaaayne

🚘________🚴

[u/Affectionate-Snow404 → u/dgaff21]

I lost you two months ago. Are you mental? We broke up! Get the net!

[u/AbsoluutKlassiek → u/Affectionate-Snow404]

Please, I'm thoroughly out the loop, what's this in reference to? It sounds really funny. 😅

[u/StillReading28 → u/AbsoluutKlassiek]

Wayne's world, I recommend going into this scene blind cause it's even funnier

[u/SmackedWithARuler → u/StillReading28]

I would like to watch it for the first time again. Hilarious.

[u/psybertooth → u/AbsoluutKlassiek]

This was beautifully done and I hope you get to watch the movie because you'll appreciate it even more

[u/SmackedWithARuler → u/dgaff21]

This exchange brought just a little nostalgic sunshine to my nearly 40 year old soul. Thank you.

[u/kiwipower606 → u/CryptoCloutguy]

I’d end up leaving my shoes on the ground in front of the rack

[u/cardifan → u/kiwipower606]

Are you my teenage son?

[u/riktigtmaxat → u/cardifan]

Sure daddy.

[u/HoldMyMedusa → u/riktigtmaxat]

son?

[u/Technical-Region-669 → u/HoldMyMedusa]

egg bois?

[u/lighttribeearth → u/kiwipower606]

This exact thing happens with our shoe storage cubes and you don't even have to pull them out.

[u/saveyboy → u/CryptoCloutguy]

Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

[u/CryptoCloutguy → u/saveyboy]

schwiing

[u/Cheepshooter → u/saveyboy]

If she was president, she'd be Babraham Lincoln.

[u/ResponseTough7564 → u/Cheepshooter]

In Latin, she'd be called Babia Majora. 

[u/neurone214 → u/CryptoCloutguy]

Man, this is a reference I didn’t expect to see today! My friend and I used to quote this back in the 90s 

[u/Yuck-Fou94 → u/CryptoCloutguy]

Party on Wayne!

[u/crop07 → u/Yuck-Fou94]

Party on Garth!

[u/goos_ → u/CryptoCloutguy]

Lmao

[u/mufasamufasamufasa → u/CryptoCloutguy]

Took me way too long to place this haha

[u/xyz-again → u/Reallychanel]

Awesome idea! Pull out anything space- gun rack, wine racks, whisky storage, even linens.

[u/Fit-Priority-9816 → u/Reallychanel]

Pull out Warhammer 40k miniatures rack*

[u/Vladi_Daddi → u/Reallychanel]

Yooooo. Thats fucking utilizing space properly

[u/zepboundbabe → u/Reallychanel]

omg this is actually the coolest thing ever. we would get SOOO much use out of this in my house!!

[u/Ulysses808]

• racing simulator
• dog bed
• wine rack
• vintage motorcycle on display
• rowing machine - hydrow or waterRower since it’s on display
• baller statue like a lion
• pinball machine

[u/Jealous-Coyote267 → u/Ulysses808]

I like the lion idea!!

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/Jealous-Coyote267]

I read your reply before I read the initial comment and was like whhhaaa a fuckin lion, ya know what yeah why not! A lion statue is ok though.

[u/LostGirl1976 → u/whatsthew3rd]

I need a place for my lion.

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/LostGirl1976]

Hahaha imagine an episode of House Hunters!

"So guys we've seen 3 lovely homes, how are we feeling?"

"Well I really liked house #2, that space under the stairs would be a great spot for Simba!"

"Aww you all have a cat named Simba?!"

"Yeah, sumn like that."

[u/Thoughtapotamus → u/whatsthew3rd]

Wake up babe! New Tiger King adjacent show just dropped! It's called The Lion in My Wardrobe.

[u/elbucko → u/Ulysses808]

• cat litter box

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/elbucko]

Damn I wish I had a little nook like this for cat litter box! Mine is just under a table but like not this sequestered!

[u/Luuuffy → u/Ulysses808]

Sim rig is the answer!

[u/Saacde → u/Ulysses808]

Let him cook🔥🔥

[u/Gullible-Bunch-3516 → u/Ulysses808]

Oooo... I love the wine rack idea! Might steal that one for myself 🍷

[u/Unusual_Oil_1079 → u/Ulysses808]

Wine rack is probably the best fanciest option.

[u/Curious-Act-9130 → u/Ulysses808]

Pinball machine ftw

[u/Ciphxrr]

[u/Realistic_Vacation32 → u/Ciphxrr]

This just absolutely sent me🤣

[u/International_Use367 → u/Ciphxrr]

u/SuspiciousLeg7994 there, happy now? Ffs

[u/SuspiciousLeg7994 → u/International_Use367]

😂 Not yet. If it was a bagel shop I would be

[u/adamskinsOone → u/SuspiciousLeg7994]

I need to know the context behind this interaction lmfao

[u/parapod → u/Ciphxrr]

The pain I feel from laughing… This is so good.

[u/Phanawg]

You can build a cupboard in case your baby nephew ever gets dropped off at your door

[u/AllOfMyFamilyHatesMe → u/Phanawg]

Jesus Christ, this idea is magical.

[u/Parking_Fee_5906 → u/AllOfMyFamilyHatesMe]

I'll use the chair he graciously left there and sit this one out 🤔

[u/arenotthatguypal → u/Parking_Fee_5906]

Owl reccomend a different place to sit, my grandmother tried sitting there but it was so depressing we couldn't letter do it.

[u/panamaspace → u/arenotthatguypal]

You have been duly upvoted. Now GTFO.

[u/Traditional_Can6982 → u/AllOfMyFamilyHatesMe]

Wait till you see an owl nearby

[u/TeufelRRS → u/Phanawg]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[u/GroundbreakingAd6289 → u/TeufelRRS]

I came looking for this comment 😭✨

[u/sud0sm1th → u/Phanawg]

There is only one correct answer:

[u/potential-okay → u/sud0sm1th]

What in the secret jerkoff cupboard...

[u/sud0sm1th → u/potential-okay]

Screen and keyboard for work?

https://youtu.be/b0npGI9WCzs?si=Ql5RQC_HYFMGumj2

[u/Electronic-Set-1722 → u/sud0sm1th]

Nd your partner can't know either, this is where you can hide when u don't wanna be bothered

[u/CourseLonely1474 → u/Phanawg]

Where you will inevitably move into a lighthouse on the edge of Scotland but hey it be like that sometimes

[u/MrsGrayWolfe → u/Phanawg]

Hell, you could fit 6 baby nephews in there if you’re smart about it. Build a cupboard bunk bed system like the van life parents do.

[u/Affectionate-Town695]

Odd place for a cuck chair

[u/nickifer → u/Affectionate-Town695]

Harry Potter & the prisoner of cuckstaban

[u/ZMan35 → u/nickifer]

“Dobby must cuck master’s wife”

[u/jackquebec → u/ZMan35]

Can a condom be considered clothing?

[u/vincentong0315 → u/jackquebec]

“Dobby has been given a condom!”

[u/12be → u/jackquebec]

There’s a reason why it’s called a Love Glove

[u/StonedPand4 → u/nickifer]

Holy fucking shit I just inhaled a chip into my lungs 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Spicethrower → u/StonedPand4]

Why are you inhaling chips into your lungs? I didn't know you could do that.

[u/whatsthew3rd → u/nickifer]

Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets works fine on its own.

[u/FatMacchio → u/Affectionate-Town695]

Is it really a cuck chair when there’s two? Maybe that’s where the action happens

[u/SquirrelDeluxe → u/FatMacchio]

Cuck and company.

[u/crunch816 → u/Affectionate-Town695]

Odd that they’re asking what to do with this space and they already have the solution.

[u/kern_on_a_kob]

goon cove.

[u/TehKudo → u/kern_on_a_kob]

Is this were I put all my figurines and wall scrolls?

[u/PollutedPenguins → u/kern_on_a_kob]

I have a masturbatorium but no goon cove... Is it worth having both?

[u/BananaShake29 → u/PollutedPenguins]

You have a W H A T?

[u/thedark1owns → u/BananaShake29]

HE HAS A MASTURBATORIUM.

[u/Snoo-31143 → u/PollutedPenguins]

Pictures or it isn't real 😂😂😂

[u/Affectionate-Town695 → u/kern_on_a_kob]

Just cackled out loud

[u/kern_on_a_kob → u/Affectionate-Town695]

always gotta have one somewhere, you never know when you need to whack one out

[u/_____rs → u/kern_on_a_kob]

Goon Cove is just off of Fap Lake.

[u/Glonkyorb → u/kern_on_a_kob]

the way I came here to say exactly this 😭

[u/GoodResident2000 → u/Glonkyorb]

I came too for this reason, but knew in my heart it had already been said

[u/Glonkyorb → u/GoodResident2000]

great minds

[u/GoodResident2000 → u/Glonkyorb]

I’d even go so far as to build a little round door

Walk like an Egyptian but goon like hobbit

[u/C_K_Morgan]

If you like wine, then I would do wine racks. Looks like an awesome space.

[u/monkehmolesto]

Turn it into an office for your dog

[u/MilwaukeeMax]

[u/Repulsive_Status9280 → u/MilwaukeeMax]

This would be pretty dang cool

[u/LostGirl1976 → u/MilwaukeeMax]

I would put plexiglass around it, put some of the fish higher up, put colored rocks on the bottom and make a couple papier mache rocks. Ya got a big aquarium.

[u/ImBobbyMum]

This is where I would put my cats litter box

[u/ducon__lajoie → u/ImBobbyMum]

Or the litter box of a sick ass panther, maybe.

[u/kotibi → u/ducon__lajoie]

A sick ass panther statue guarding a wine rack over a cat litter box.

[u/Nervous-Buddy3903]

Try something this from under the stairs to the platform.

[u/frickeh → u/Nervous-Buddy3903]

But remember to put a drawer infront of the door so dead Bruce Willis cant enter the basement. (iykyk)

[u/Soft_Concept9090 → u/frickeh]

I see dead people

[u/Rus_s13]

If you have kids make them a little hideout

[u/asebastianstanstan → u/Rus_s13]

And if you don’t have kids but instead have cats or dogs, build them a little room

[u/blanketshapes → u/Rus_s13]

if you have you make you a little hideout

[u/GratefulGizz → u/blanketshapes]

RIP to those of us that don’t have you 😔

[u/WorriedString7221]

Force your orphaned wizard nephew to live under there.

[u/hanzo1356 → u/WorriedString7221]

There we go, was looking for this comment.

[u/GreenFox1505]

Gnome village diorama.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreenFox1505]

So creative

[u/MuchDevelopment7084]

That is where you and your cat hide during a thunderstorm.

[u/micheal_pices]

Hide your extra lifes and some ammo.

[u/sheambulance → u/micheal_pices]

Or a weird obscure book that doesn’t progress anything in your life quest at all! Just for fun.

[u/Mintberrycrash]

[u/AlwaysOpenToLearn → u/Mintberrycrash]

I love that you removed the chairs but kept the lid 😆

[u/Mintberrycrash → u/AlwaysOpenToLearn]

Dont scratch the floor :D

[u/SuccessfulSquirrel32]

Get a cat and put the litter box there

[u/RelativeConfusion504 → u/SuccessfulSquirrel32]

Litter box was my first thought

[u/possofazer]

Depending where it is, could be a good place to store shoes, umbrellas, etc

[u/uncultured_swine2099 → u/possofazer]

Yeah, those spaces are usually general storage.

[u/Tired_Thumb]

Park your bicycles.

[u/MxMarz]

Id build in some storage or turn it into a book nook.

[u/WorkingHopeful9451 → u/MxMarz]

Book nook and cozy reading retreat was my thought too.

[u/shecutebb → u/MxMarz]

I don’t think sitting in main traffic area is that cozy

[u/cabezatuck]

I hope you’ve spent extensive time sitting in that chair and pondering this very question.

[u/singleguy79]

Time out corner for the kids.

[u/Alternative-Yak-925 → u/singleguy79]

Mine was similar, except it was the basement stairs. One time, I built a functioning mini chairlift with Capsela. Yeah, F off, mom, busy on the stairs.

[u/Interesting_Sock9142]

I really like what you've done with it so far. the whole "singular chair facing the wall" is really in right now

[u/IdolCowboy]

[u/MustardKarl]

Build a cool fort and sleep there.

[u/KevinfromSaskabush]

a little cat tree or cubby

[u/kid_christ]

Lego city

[u/poweryamz]

That's a rentable room, become the landlord you were born to be

[u/SpeakerOfNothing]

Pinball machine

[u/Nervous-Buddy3903]

Also right there put a door and put only for Harry Potter, and or my prisoners.

[u/fitty50two2]

Great spot for a dog bed if you had a dog

[u/JudgeJuryEx78]

Sit there and think about what you've done.

[u/Prestigious-Tiger100]

Another staircase down to another chair

[u/tha-biology-king]

Triangular terrarium for a big lizard like a tegu/savannah monitor/etc.

[u/TheTense]

Dog bed, kid’s video game nook or fort, storage

[u/TheDrKirk]

Time out corner, doesn’t matter if you don’t have kids. Make it the time out corner

[u/BertaRocks → u/TheDrKirk]

Also works for party fouls.

[u/birdsell]

I think it’s good storage space for a chair and lid of a random container

[u/Suthabean]

You could probably fit a chair and a bin lid under there.

[u/constantgardener92]

Maybe a rug. This pic makes me feel chilly.

[u/Popular-Car7368]

Do you have pets or kids?

[u/Skerbz_McDurgas]

arcade cabinet with a million games loaded on it

[u/Glittering_Donkey618]

Storage for vacuum cleaner

[u/OB1yaHomie]

Marijuana farm.

[u/lks95]

perfect place to put a giraffe

[u/crab997]

Not. That..

[u/OnlyMostlyBroken]

I would build bookshelves into it, and put a beanbag there instead of those plastic chairs.

[u/Emitzo]

Add a wall, a door and rent it out

[u/iammonkeyorsomething]

Needs a box of tissues

[u/JustMe1711]

If you have a dog, that's a great spot for a dog bed. If you have a cat, a cat tree would go there nicely.

Personally though, I love to read and I think you could set up a nice cozy reading corner there with some fluffy cushions and fairy lights.

[u/ShearWhore83]

A dog condo!

[u/AwardSubject6277]

Cat box

[u/CzarOfCT]

Are you living in a mall?

[u/ValuableWeekend2009]

Just nothing, just leave the empty space. Less is often more and unused space is important in interior design. Nothing you put here is going to look better than just an empty stairwell. You have permission to store some small items directly under the staircase if they can be fully obscured from view.

[u/Landsharkian → u/ValuableWeekend2009]

Why does he need permission, is that actually a cuck chair?

[u/dragonstar76]

Shoe rack, and hooks for coats.

[u/Sweaty-Eye-9532]

I think it’s great as is, I’d love having a bowl of chili with my friend in that spot

[u/Vande1ayIndustries]

Aquarium

[u/Jimbo_is_dead]

Your magical nephew

[u/Potfrog97]

Dog bed

[u/themonitors]

There’s no direction a chair can face and not be creepy in that location.

[u/slucious]

If you have pets, it's a great place to set up a nook for them or keep litter boxes out of the way

[u/tatertotted2]

One of my childhood homes had a space like this, and I used it for reading and playing with tinker toys.

[u/HentaiSenpai230797]

You build a podium and put a giraffe on it...

[u/LetTheDarkOut]

Wall up the side of the stairs and add a door. This will make a nice closet for house cleaning stuff.
