In many space-constrained maisonettes, fitting the internal staircase to the upper level is a challenge, both in terms of where it should go and the usable space lost beneath it.
On the other hand, every home needs a bookcase. In many cases, the bookcase is more than a functional storage space: it is part of the décor and a defining feature of the room.
One idea that combines function and design is a smart, creative solution: combining the bookcase with the internal staircase.
The shelves of a wall-mounted bookcase can follow the lines of the staircase treads, creating a distinctive visual effect.
