I have an odd-shaped classroom. It is somewhat like a trapezoid and is approximately 38x35. I do feel lucky to have a fairly large room, and I especially love the wall space. One of my walls is made completely of bulletin boards. It is a folding wall. However, we never open it up to join with the room next door, so I am able to maintain permanent wall displays. Two of my other walls are magnetic. While that frustrated me at first because I was unable to staple or tack anything to those walls, I have become a huge fan of business card magnets! I place them on the back of everything to create wall displays and interactive charts. My last wall is made of cinder blocks and is practically useless! However, I have found different adhesive materials at office supply stores that work fairly well when necessary. I guess the best idea is to make the most of what you have!
