Have you ever noticed how much wasted square footage you have with stairs? They are generally at a 7 to 11 ratio, 7" being the rise and 11" being the tread (more if you want something more grand). But that takes up a big chunk so then you ask, "What are you supposed to to do with those sometimes awkward spaces that hide underneath the stairs?" Well you shouldn't just waste it as a junk closet! Here is a few ideas to make the most of your "tornado cellar."
Add value to your home with a half bathroom. This could get a little pricey, but they you get everything back out of the baths and kitchens when you resale.
Or channel your inner Mad Men and make a wet bar/ liquor cabinet.

If you have no space for a library, you can have a makeshift one, with lots of interest at that!
A place to read the books and take a quick snooze.
Organized, custom storage for your silver, extra bed linens, shoes, sport equipment etc.
Or a small homework area/ study--
Incorporate your Kitchen into the nook.
Or channel your inner Mad Men and make a wet bar/ liquor cabinet.
For the kids in your lives make the ultimate play area--
