I'm all about this. My apartment is tiny and I wanted a square office giant table but everyone said with your apartment you shouldn't do that and I didn't listen... I'm in love and very happy with my buy also my friends love it because when I do my small parties everyone can converse easier
Painting on a paneled wall does not look right. It does not add depth, rather removes the size of the room. And don't even get me going on round furniture. It was laughed at before, it will be the same again.
