Ahaha, I have three pairs of shoes: regular wear (sneakers), formal wear (short heel dress shoes), and exercise/heavy duty wear. It's crazy how some people have walk-in closets just full of shoes.
Efficient use of space + minimalism = awesome home. One day I will have bookcases/cabinets embedded in interior walls. I want to take advantage of vertical space as much as possible too.
People often come into my apartment room and are taken aback by how austere it is. It's weird for them to see absolutely no furniture. My room is tiny -- if you try to fit a mattress inside it would take up half of the room. IMO, the extra space is worth it. I've got a carry-on suitcase doubling as storage, a single file folder rack, laptop, two small plastic containers for school supplies, and in the corner a growing stack of books. All of my clothes hang, and the shelf above the open closet is for the second suitcase. The only things that take up space are kendo equipment.
Although I'll admit that I'm a digital pack rat. I'm halfway through a terabyte external drive, and my laptop is always being filled by eBooks, .pdf files, music, pictures, manga, and anime. Occasionally I'll download wikipedia (you never know when there's a power outage).
