iCloud storage does not add storage onto your device. It adds storage into Apple's cloud storage system, here you can save backups and photos. There is no way to convert this to device storage.

For example, you could use this to save storage on your phone, by keeping low quality/resolution photos on your phone but keep the high-quality originals in iCloud.
