Under Stairs Litter Box Niche & Storage – Custom Built-In

This Austin homeowner had extra space under their stairs and a litter box issue that needed a solution. They wanted their automatic litter robot tucked away yet still accessible, with power for the unit and room for cat supplies. Best Austin Handyman transformed that dead space into a purpose-built closet that does exactly what they needed.

The custom-built-in fits the angled wall perfectly and includes a cat-sized entry cut into the door panel. We added an electrical outlet inside for the litter robot and painted the interior a dark color. The exterior matches the existing trim, so it appears to have been part of the house’s original design.

Under-stair spaces are often overlooked in many homes, but they’re perfect for projects like this. Now the litter box stays hidden, the cat has private access, and the homeowner has reclaimed floor space elsewhere in the house.
