129 Odd-shaped Layouts An odd-shaped room happens when walls are either too long or short, or they don’t meet at perpendicular angles, resulting in awkward nooks. Instead of fretting over this architectural imperfection, think of it as a fun-sized way to add a focal point in your room. For instance, an uneven corner could be the perfect spot for a potted plant or your collection of travel curios. With wall partitions, offset any off-the-mark proportions by using furniture pieces such as a bookshelf, table or cabinet to counterbalance. However, if you’re really at wit’s end, it’s advisable to rope in the help of an expert to craft built-in cabinetry that will fit your space to a tee. Create a visual distraction with furniture of irregular proportion instead of something regular and streamlined. Plants and woody touches like rattan furniture can better mask an irregular floor plan and soften the overall ambience. DESIGN BY DISTINCT IDENTITY IMAGE COURTESY OF LAGO
