Space-Saving Solutions

Canterbury’s Architectural Heritage and Understairs Storage Challenges

Canterbury’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site means many properties operate under strict conservation guidelines. Understairs storage Canterbury installations must respect original features whilst meeting modern family needs. The city’s mix of medieval, Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian properties each present unique spatial puzzles.

Consider a typical Westgate cottage – low ceilings, uneven floors, and exposed beams create complex geometry beneath period staircases. However, these challenges become opportunities for creative storage solutions that enhance rather than compromise historical character.

The Cathedral Quarter’s narrow medieval streets house properties with particularly challenging layouts. Steep staircases and limited floor space make every square centimetre precious. Professional design transforms these constraints into charming storage nooks that visitors often mistake for original period features.

Cathedral Quarter Properties

Medieval and Tudor homes demand sympathetic materials and traditional joinery techniques. Hand-crafted oak cupboards with period-appropriate ironwork create storage that complements exposed timbers and stone walls. Ventilation systems prevent moisture damage to stored items whilst preserving structural integrity.

St Dunstan’s Victorian Terraces

Railway-era housing offers different opportunities. Higher ceilings and more regular proportions allow for multi-level storage systems. Wine racks, coat storage, and children’s play areas fit naturally beneath these generous staircases.

Sturry Road Modern Developments

Contemporary properties benefit from sleek, minimalist approaches. Handleless cupboards, integrated LED lighting, and smart storage solutions create seamless functionality that enhances modern Canterbury living.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack and Sam were fantastic from start to finish. Happy to work with us to ensure the designs were exactly as we wanted and then seamlessly and professionally installed a new storage area in our entrance way and inbuilt wardrobe in our spare room. Couldn’t recommend Wow highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met many interior design companies for a wall of fitted wardrobes. WOW were the most responsive by far and guided us through options and details even down to the type of hinges for different doors to make access easy. Initial site visit, production, delivery and fitting were all exactly in line with promised dates. Budget was 100% on plan no "extras surprises". Our house is Victorian and literally nothing is straight - this was no problem to WOW and then end product is absolutely perfect. Seems we will be ordering more! Thank you for making everything so easy and with such a great result.

I wanted some bespoke wardrobes to be set into the eaves in my new loft conversion. Jack and Sam were brilliant. They created exactly the storage space I wanted, and made use of every bit of the available space. The wardrobes they created are perfect, and are a wonderful addition to the new room. I know they are going to bring me joy every day. Fantastic work done by lovely people. Thank you! ☆♡☆

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and Jack at WOW Interior Design have done an outstanding job creating our media wall. From the first meeting and design ideas right through to the finishing touches, they were professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with. Sam’s eye for detail, quality craftsmanship, and pride in his work were exceptional throughout. He also left the space spotless at the end of each day, which made the whole process so much easier. The finished wall has completely changed the feel of our living room — it now feels warm, elegant, and far more spacious. A genuine five-star experience from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to use WOW Interior Design again and would highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These wardrobes have transformed our bedroom. Well made and beautifully fitted, tailored to our bespoke requirements. 100% recommendation. The reason I chose this company was because I was given a fixed price, with no endless sales calls or reductions in price multiple times. I was allowed time to think about the price, review the plan, and decide on a convenient time to sign the deal when I felt satisfied. It was a good decision.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had two wardrobes made and fitted by Jack and Sam at Wow Interior Design. They were very patient with me during the design process, providing different quotes, answering all my questions and helping me decide what I needed. When it came to fitting them, the process was very quick, easy and clean. Sam was very kind and respectful of us and our home. He removed our old wardrobes and fitted the new ones without even a scratch in either of the rooms and cleaned up afterwards as if he had never been there. The wardrobes are exactly what we wanted and look amazing. We were very impressed at how easy the process was, how reasonable the cost was and couldn't be happier with the results. Would definitely recommend - thank you!
