Question
I live in an apartment and I'm in the mood for some redecorating, but I can't paint the walls. I want to redecorate my office but the room is shaped oddly and it bothers me...It has five smaller walls instead of four walls and one wall is completely taken up by closet doors. Anything to make the room seem bigger? Or any other good home office decorating tips? I just can't paint...it's in the lease. The walls are like antique white. I can stick all the holes in the wall I want to hang things...Just no paint.

Answer
Crowding the entrance, crowds the room. By simply moving desks, bookshelves, or whatever away from the entrance to give you more space as you enter, gives you a sense of openness. Also, obviously, keep things close to the walls, not out in the middle of the room. Try putting you desk at the opposite wall of the entrance, and make this the center point, lining the walls to the left and right with whatever other furniture you have, to make an "L" shape. This way nothing is in the middle obstructing the view of the room as well as the walking space. Oh, yeah, take out any items taking up space that you can do without. Good luck.
