Answer 4

when re-decorating home, bedroom or any other room, always try to choose colors according to feng shui. in this case you will activate powers of 5 elements (water, earth, metal, wood and fire) and support all your lucky "areas" - this will attract love, romance, wealth, money, prosperity, luck etc etc

Answer 5

I was reading some articles online about using fabric instead of paint on walls so you won't get fined. (See links below.) You don't have to necessarily do the whole wall...maybe spots or a horizontal stripe or something. Also, fake or real plants help your room look nice and you can find sales for them at places like Michael's crafts or Joann's fabrics.

Photos are always nice...either a collage or mount them in a cool way. Or if you're into music, hang up album covers of your favorite bands.

As for space-saving tips, get bed risers if you can and pull-out drawers to go under your bed. Also try closet organizers, over the door hooks, and those 3M sticky hooks to go on the walls. Good luck!
