The space under the stairs is an excellent place for a bookshelf. It also makes it easy to access, especially for the children. However be careful not to place any fragile things which you would not want broken at such a low space if you have children around. 

6. Optimize vertical space

When you make use of the space under the stairs, you also optimize vertical space and this is the best way to save space. The steeper the angle of the stairs, the most space you will have under it, so keep this in mind while designing the staircase. 

7. Be creative with shapes

Shelves don't necessarily have to have rectangular or square niches. They can also have irregular shapes which are more visually interesting, as shown in this exemplary image here. And if you're lacking wall space for all your artwork, you can also create more wall space for art under the stairs.
