Measure the profile, not just the width.
Record the available floor width and depth, then measure the underside of the stairs at several positions. Include landings, vertical steps, skirting and boxing. A single angle is rarely enough to describe a turning staircase. FurniDraw supports shaped tops and ceiling profiles, which you can refine in the studio after opening an example.
Match each zone to a useful job.
Low sections can suit shoes or folded items; taller sections may take a rail or long garments. Check reach, door swings and how someone will use the storage from the hallway. Auto design plans each shaped bay up to its lowest ceiling point, so review the resulting layout and use the editor to adjust it.
- Measure heights from the finished floor.
- Check access to services and existing hatches.
- Leave an appropriate fitting tolerance for your maker to confirm.
Review the shape before making.
Switch the study into drawing view to see how a profile changes the outline. This is an illustration; the actual studio builds the design using its own geometry rules. Open the studio with the selected width and shape, refine the profile against your measurements, then review the technical drawings with your furniture maker.
