Nemtynakht, here's another interesting storage concept...under the stairs drawers. I also like how it doesn't take up any space.
Even better, if the side panels could somehow become translucent with a push of the button (ala James Bond), I could view my entire shoe collection without having to open all the stair drawers and would get a ton of exercise walking up and down the stairs.
I'm not sure how safe or dust-free this design would be though.
