A secret room under the stairs to rewind, enjoy some alone time from the hustle bustle is what everyone wants. Then just throw in a few pillows and you are good to go.

There are usually huge windows near the staircases to allow in sunlight in the house. Build a seat over the window to sit and stare at the sky on a rainy afternoon and eat a bucket of ice cream. You can also add a shelving unit under the seat to store a few books to read while you enjoy the weather.
