How do I choose storage or visual vignette for under-stairs space?

Choosing between storage or a visual vignette under stairs depends on accessibility and light. If the nook is hard to reach and lacks natural access, focus on a calming visual vignette like plants or mirrors to keep it serene. When the space opens easily from another room, consider a hidden door for seasonal storage. Prioritizing light preservation and safety leads to the best functional and aesthetic balance.
