How do you feel about caddy-cornered furniture

My Dh hates it (waste of space) but I think that the space that is "wasted" usually would be unusable anyway because of the layout of the furniture in the corner, especially with dresser drawers.  I want to put LO's crib and one dresser on the same wall, but it seems so "heavy" next to each other.  I feel like caddy cornering lightens up the look and balances the room better.  But then again, I want to caddy-corner a piece in olmast every room in the house, so maybe I'm just weird?

What's your opinion?

I think sometimes it's necessary, depending on the room. It tends to look strange when all the furniture in the room is at a right angle to each other. I

I think used sparingly, it can add dimension to the room and break up the space.  If you have room, go for it.

I like it for certain things, DH loathes it with a passion. He'd rather line everything flat against one wall to the point of not being able to walk between a bed and a dresser if an angle is the other option.

In Finn's room we had to cut the corner with his crib. The layout in both boys' rooms is awkward, and that's the way it looked best. I think it looked just fine. Here are a couple pictures.
