Knee walls are pretty common, and aren�t normally load-bearing. they aren�t really wasted space, as they do have benefits. improved insulation, electrical access to lower level, and they square up the living space so that you can place furniture against the walls.. Building a knee wall dresser is a great way of making use of these awkward areas in your house when you�re looking for extra storage space. you just recess the dresser into a knee wall of a room and voila! � you have a full-sized storage space! now some of you might be wondering what a knee wall is.. A built-in knee wall disguises the storage area below the ceiling slant. knee wall storage opens up that space so you can use it while still enjoying the configuration of a normal room..
