I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I’ve seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?

    HVAC! it’s right over the closet with the air filter. So that’s probably it. Now the question is why is it carpeted lol

      Because up until the mid-to-late 90’s everything was carpeted. I too have seen many of these “closet steps” in my day.

      If it’s anything like my house, they probably carpeted it because they were too lazy to plaster and paint
