Hi Susan. I was thrilled when we bought our house that our staircase had been opened up on both sides. Even better there were doors to cover the open areas. As a Christmas decorating maniac, I quickly decided that this storage would be used for my Christmas decorations. While working, I collected empty copy paper boxes to house my many decorations. The boxes were all the same size which made stacking them VERY easy. I have a journal that lists the contents of each box. Boxes are all numbered and stacked in numerical order. Now I know which box has the particular item I am looking for. I start stacking them beginning with the largest number and work down to box number 1. I am able to house over 50 boxes under my staircase. And hubby doesn’t have to go up to the attic 50 times to get the boxes down. I can pull the boxes out, use what I want and put them back under the stairs.
Hope this helps you. It surely makes it much easier for me.

HI Susan,
Do you have access to this space or are you looking to create some type of closet?
Hi Susan, Her are several ideas I found on =under%7Cautocomplete%7C1&term_meta[]=stairs%7Cautocomplete%7C1&term_meta[]=ideas%7Cautocomplete%7C1]Pinterest.
Susan...I have seen bookcases made for that area as well as dog houses.
How about a place for pets?
Hi Susan, we have a curved staircase in our teeny tiny home and created a build in cupboard. Love how much storage space it gave us. You can see all the things we did here - https://acraftymix.com/blog/extra-storage-curved-staircase/
