I didn't answered your feng shui by telling you you have to pay experts thousands of dollars to get them to go through your room and give advice.

Also, I told you an alternative, the bookstore or library. That is worth more than a 1 as it is not totally useless.

Feng Shui as westerners know it is a scam. It's fortune cookie philosophy. Most of the 'experts' that charge you thousands upon thousands of dollars to do your room, are actually from America.
Most real Asians see it as a Western craze (hoax/scam).

There are loads of books on decorating on a budget, working with small spaces, etc. And they'll take into account the fact that you need to find a way to work around phones and lights if you're evre going to get anything done in there or have any kind of privacy in a house you share with other people.

Ditch what you don't need, paint your walls in a color you enjoy and can live with, keep things at least semi-organized in a fashion that works for you so you feel like you're running your stuff instead of your stuff running you, and enjoy your space!! :D Leave the hanging of mystical upside down bamboo and strategic placing of beveled mirrors to someone who has the time, money, and patience to deal with aligning their budget and limited free time with their out of whack ch'i...
