The on item most homeowners must remember regarding stairs is that is typically the only means of egress from the upper floors. Introducing storage or other combustibles only enhances the burning process, in essance, blocking the only way out of upper floors.
Your article should be corrected as you are encouraging this behavior.

There are some good ideas here but unfortunately for me, I only have 6 steps leading to the basement so none of these ideas will work. Any ideas for small set of stairs?
