Answer

Low-maintenance ideas for under-stairs spaces include placing a tall rubber plant on a pull-out tray, installing a mirror with uplight to enhance daylight, or creating a gentle pet lounge. These options need minimal care, are easily accessible from the stair edge, and won’t accumulate clutter. They preserve negative space to maintain calm and light, key to transforming awkward pockets into serene visual vignettes.
